history

  • 0884 The original name of Prummer was in the certificate of Karl III. 884 found and was called Promere.
  • 1137 In the consecration certificate for the foundation of the church from 1137 the place Prumeren is written.

Local history

The document from the year 884 is at the beginning of the history of Prummer. In this document it is reported that the place Prummer had belonged to the monastery of St. Remigius in Reims a few years before and has now been returned. The certificate that Emperor Karl III. (the fat one) exhibited in Metz on June 30, 884 , was lost in the original , but the Reims monks had previously transferred it to their list of goods , their charterer. The writings of the further history confirm the whereabouts and belonging to Reims for the next 300 years. So Primer was mentioned in 1152 by Friedrich I Barbarossa and again by Pope Hadrian IV on December 19, 1154. This means that Prummer is demonstrably one of the oldest places in the local area. The United Ortsvereine Prummer eV and the city of Geilenkirchen took the early documentary mention as an opportunity to hold the 1100th anniversary celebrations from August 31 to September 2, 1984. The 1125th anniversary celebration was also held in 2009.

The Second World War brought great destruction to the village and much suffering to the population of Prummer. In the First World War 32 have soldiers lost their lives in the Second World War, there were as many as 50 soldiers, the war have paid with their lives. Primer was completely destroyed and all residents had to be evacuated to the Göttingen area .

On November 19, 1944, British troops occupied Geilenkirchen; until November 20, Prummer was contested. The British broke the defenders' resistance primarily with "Crocodile" flame-throwing tanks (see Operation Clipper ). A resistance nest on a hill northeast of Prummer (= direction Beeck, "Mahogany Hill") was captured by a surprise attack by US troops on November 22nd.

Church history

The Catholic Church of St. John Evangelist is located in the center of the village. Its predecessor was built in 1130 and consecrated by a bishop in 1137 . However, in 1470 a late Gothic brick church was built as a two-aisled hall with a west tower. In 1922 an extension was completed on the south aisle . In November 1944 the church tower was blown up by St. Johannes Evangelist , but rebuilt after the war. Otherwise, the church suffered severe damage in the Second World War. In 1985 the inside was renovated. Of the old pieces of equipment, only four old bells are left. One of them was cast in 1352, but was badly damaged in 1944. It now stands in the tower vestibule and serves as a holy water font . Two bells, cast by Jakob von Venrath in 1476, still hang in the tower and still ring regularly at church services. In addition, the other two bells from 1959 ring before every mass. Only not the baptismal bell. This baptismal bell, which was cast by Jan van Trier in 1575, is only used for baptisms. The bell foundry Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock from Gescher delivered two new bells in 1959.
