Pingsheim is the easternmost part of the municipality in Nörvenich . It is located in the Düren district in North Rhine-Westphalia .

history

The place name is said to go back to a Roman forest name ( Pinetum , spruce forest). The prefix binis may also be a personal name. The place was first mentioned in a document from 1022. Archbishop Heribert gave the Cologne Abbey of Groß St. Martin "the little church of Pingsheim in the Zülpichgau ". It remained connected to the abbey just like the associated Zehnthof until its dissolution in 1802.

The Pingsheim Peace

On October 14, 1279, the Pingsheim Peace was signed in Pingsheim . After protracted and mostly bellicose disputes between the widow of Count von Jülich and his successor on the one hand and Archbishop Siegfried von Westerburg of Cologne on the other, the two parties reached a peace treaty that was concluded in Pingsheim and generally referred to as the "Peace of Pingsheim" becomes.

Presumably the border location of the village induced the two powers to choose Pingsheim as the place of negotiation . The western part of the village belonged to Jülich , the eastern part to the Lechenich office of the Archbishopric of Cologne . The border line was today's Alfons-Keever-Strasse. According to tradition, the site of the conclusion of the contract was the parish church of Pingsheim . In fact, the opponents met on what is now Alfons-Keever-Strasse, because its center was the border between Kurköln and Jülich-Berg.

The complicated prehistory and the contractual agreements, which are somewhat difficult to understand without expert comment, have been carefully and extensively presented by Heinrich Heesel in the work "The Peace of Pingsheim on October 14, 1279 and its prehistory" published in 1979. The disputes up for negotiation all have to do with rights in and around Zülpich . Among other things, it is agreed that the counts of Jülich on advocacies , the legal process on the Schievelberg and the interest and rights which the Hofgut Palenz concerned, renounce in favor of the archbishop. The archbishop is allowed to fortify the city of his own free will and to expand the castle in Zülpich. As early as 1291, the archbishop had to surrender the bailiwick rights to the Jülich count.

The Pingsheim coat of arms

The unofficial coat of arms created in 2003 commemorates the Peace of Pingsheim. On one side is the Jülich lion, on the other the cross of the Electorate of Cologne. Both sides are separated by the red ribbon (Dorfstrasse). The dove of peace flies over Jülich and Cologne .
