history

The history of Rahms is closely linked to Angermund , which is about 1.5 km from Rahm. Because Angermund has played a central role for the surrounding farmers and villages since the Middle Ages . It was the seat of a sovereign winery and the financial administration of the office of the same name in Angermund , an administrative district of the Duchy of Berg . The citizens of Rahmer have always been subordinate to the Angermunder court .

In church terms, Angermund and the so-called Honschaft Rahm used to belong to Kalkum , to whose pastor the citizens of both places had to pay their tithes .

Around the year 1700 there were 61 farms in Rahm and until the 20th century Rahms settlement was dominated by agriculture. In 1843 Rahm had 85 houses and 52 farm buildings for a total of 660 inhabitants. In 1895 there were 964 inhabitants, then in 1925 1233.

In 1925 the St. Hubertus Church with its onion dome, which is rather untypical for the region, was completed in the neo-baroque style. Its architect was Franz Schneider from Düsseldorf. The architectural style was given to the interior of the church, e.g. B. the altar, the pulpit and other adapted. In order to prevent wedding and baptism tourism to this idyllic church, only framers and, since the union with the Großenbaumer St. Franziskus parish, Großenbaumer parishioners may be married or baptized in the church.

During the administrative reorganization of 1929, Rahm together with the communities of Huckingen, Mündelheim , as well as parts of Großenbaum and the northern areas of Bockum (the Holtumer Höfe) and Lintorf were assigned to the newly formed urban district of Duisburg-Hamborn (from 1935 only called Duisburg ).

The rehabilitation facility "Maria in der Drucht", operated by the Caritas Association Duisburg, is located in the district and used to be a children's home.
