Pier was a district of the municipality Inden in the district of Düren , North Rhine-Westphalia .

General

Pier was a street village on the Echtzer Loessplatte in the Lower Rhine Bay .

The place was on the former B 56 from Inden to Merken and the country road from Lucherberg to Schophoven . The pier was divided into three parts: The actual pier, which originally consisted of the pier and Bonsdorf, as well as Pommenich on the outskirts and Vilvenich on the road to Merken. All three fell victim to the Inden open-cast lignite mine between 2014 and 2015 ; only the industrial area near Krauthausen was spared.

The official replacement settlement is in Jüngersdorf near Langerwehe, but significant parts of the population have also settled in Schophoven and Lamersdorf .

history

Roman settlements have already been proven. The first written sources date from 873. The establishment of the noble Gerresheim monastery was confirmed in a document . In this document the first abbess Regenberga reserved the church in Pier with half of her tithing .

In the 14th century Pier was first mentioned as the main place of the Dingstuhl Pier- Merken . This Dingstuhl was only dissolved in 1794, during the French occupation of the Rhineland .

Until 1806, Pier consisted of two separate villages: Pier and Bonsdorf. Both places had their own parish with a church and cemetery. In 1844 the old Bonsdorf church was torn down; the cemetery remained, however. Burials continued here until 1947. Bonsdorf only comprised the later Bonsdorfer Strasse and Jakobstrasse and Haus Pesch.

From 1908 the pier was the end point of the meter-gauge railway line from Düren and Birkesdorf on the Düren railway . In 1927 the line was extended to Inden. Rail traffic was finally stopped on June 30, 1965 and replaced by a bus line. Most recently, line 216 of the Düren circular railway ran at least every hour between Düren and Inden.

On January 1, 1972, Pier was incorporated into Inden. A small area with only five inhabitants at that time was reclassified to the municipality of Niederzier .

Due to the planned use of the opencast mine, which was moving from the northwest towards the site, resettlement began on March 1, 2005. The neighboring towns of Inden and Altdorf had previously been relocated and at this point had already been partially demolished. From 1291 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2005) the number of inhabitants fell to 486 (as of June 30, 2008). In May 2010, only 50 to 70 people lived in the dying place.

On December 20, 2013, the access roads as well as the streets and paths in the village were de-designated so that it was no longer accessible. Then the complete dismantling took place. The open pit reached the former location in 2014; all buildings had been demolished by then.

Significant structures

Pier was home to the Roman Catholic parish church of St. Mary's Immaculate Conception , a former synagogue and the manor houses Haus Pesch and Haus Verken .
