Rönneter is a hamlet in the district Venn , district North of Mönchengladbach in North Rhine-Westphalia .

history

The district of Rönneter has been occupied since 1813, when the farmer J. P. Herx from Paris wrote to his relatives there: "If I survive this barbaric war with all its atrocities and come home safe, I will donate a chapel with a cross in our village". In the same year he came back and built a small half-timbered Hellejehüske ( holy house ) at the site of today's chapel , which was completed in 1817.

This holy house later became a war memorial with the names of the fallen and missing from the First and Second World Wars on memorial plaques. The community had great cohesion, so in the event of the death of a citizen a death banner was hung up to show the grief and solidarity with the deceased. In 1884 the brotherhood Rönneter e. V. founded.

In 1949 the laying of the foundation stone by Pastor Dr. Wilhelm Müller started the construction of the Rönneter chapel . Willi Kamphausen, Jakob Hanen, Willi Zefels, Josef Lenzen, Konrad Gielen and farmer Peter Lowis were commissioned with the planning and implementation. In 1995 the roof was re-covered with a slate roof. The chapel is still in its original state, apart from the newly covered roof. The shape of the chapel is a polygonal brick building with a cross on the roof. Three arched openings allow a view of a brick altar canteen with a cross. In the background are the three plates with the fallen and missing of the two world wars. Today every year at Christmas there is a Christmas tree next to the chapel, which is illuminated in the evening.

The district is characterized by the street In der Duis built in 1927 . Up until the beginning of the 1990s there were shops for daily needs in Rönneter. However, these could not withstand the growing discounters and wholesale market groups.

After the Second World War, planning and implementation began to turn the Rönneter district into a residential area for families with children on the outskirts. This is how the playground in Duisfeld and other residential buildings were built. The expansion of the Rönneter area began in the mid-1980s. The idea was to build a road that runs in a ring through Rönneter, the Rönneterring . All streets that touch on this ring should be given the prefix Rönneter . This is where today's street names such as Rönneterberg and Rönneterheide arose . However, this idea was rejected at the beginning of 2005 and the street Rönneterring was partially renamed.

Rönneter expanded through new house positions. The Rönneter allotment gardens are also a local recreation area for the citizens of Mönchengladbach and the surrounding area.

In Rönneter, a former barracks and settlement on Rönneter street has been converted into a social housing complex. Until spring 2005, welfare recipients were accommodated in this facility. In 2005, the facility was demolished because it was unreasonable for the residents.

Also in the mid-1980s, the construction of ten houses with wooden cladding began in the open field. Because of this, the residents mockingly called them the wooden houses . Nowadays, some house residents have already torn off the wood paneling and replaced it with a more modern variant.

Festivals

Until the mid-1990s, Rönneter celebrated the turning hammer festival , where the population met at the turning hammer in Rönneter over an entire weekend. In Rönneterberg there was the cherry tree festival. At this, the citizens of the area met, picked cherries and celebrated. After the cherry tree was felled, the festival no longer took place. The shooting festival and horse riding tournaments also take place annually at the Rönneter horse farm.

Infrastructure

The B 230 , which runs in an east-west direction, separates the two districts of Rönneter and Venn. It is the direct connection between the A 61 and Mönchengladbach city center. There are two ascents and descents from and to Rönneter.

The players from Borussia Mönchengladbach trained until the new Borussia Park was built in Rönneter. Nowadays the local volunteer fire brigade and many other clubs train here . The new stadium was supposedly also planned on the Rönneter, so it should be built on the field in front of the district. But it was decided to build in the north park. In the early 1990s, a sports park opened on the Rönneter.
