history

Rattles from the High Middle Ages to the French Revolution in 1789

Rasseln is one of the oldest parts of Mönchengladbach . The history of the small town can be traced back to the 12th century : As early as 1135, under the name " Racsleide ", the oldest known written mention of Ratteln in the documents of the Gladbach Abbey took place . Rasseln belonged to the county of Kessel at first , but in the following decades it must have come under the control of the Duchy of Limburg , at least a Heinrich von Limburg was handed down as liege lord of " Rakkesleide " for the year 1172 . In the further course of the Middle Ages , the area came again under the rule of the Counts of Kessel , who were related to the Limburg dynasty. After the last Kessel Count Walram von Kessel died childless in 1307 , his cousin , Duke Gerhard V. von Jülich , inherited his remaining lands, including the Grevenbroich office , which also included Rasseln. So the village became part of the Duchy of Jülich . Here rattling counted as Honnschaft of Hardt for judicial district Obergeburth of Grevenbroicher Under Office Gladbach . Ratteln was a tribute and therefore had a certain communal independence on a small scale . Up until the 1790s, very little changed in the feudal rulership and its communal administrative structures.

Rattles in French times

The village of " Rasselen " and its surroundings during the French period , around 1805.

A revolution had been going on in France since 1789 , leading to the overthrow of King Louis XVI in 1792 . and had led to the proclamation of the republic . In 1794 the entire area on the left bank of the Rhine (today's Germany ) was occupied by French revolutionary troops. In the period that followed, the French administration initiated a number of regional reforms in order to redesign the municipal administrative structures based on the French model and to simplify the planned integration of the region into the French state.

In 1798, the old monies were abolished as independent administrative units and the administrative levels above the monies were reorganized. So Hardt received as " Commune de Hardt " as part of this reform of 1798 initially its communal independence and was spun off from the feudal communal association " Obergeburth ". At the same time, the surrounding monuments, including Rasseln, were incorporated into the new Hardt community. The municipality of Hardt was in turn attached to the canton of Neersen .

In November 1799, Napoléon Bonaparte came to power in France through a coup d'état (initially as “ First Consul ”) and replaced the “ Directory ” at the head of the French Republic , which had ruled until then . Napoléon had different ideas about the structure of the state than the directory that preceded him and so the next administrative reform took place in 1800 (throughout France). The lowest administrative level was henceforth the " Mairie " ( mayor's office ), many smaller communities, including Hardt, immediately lost their newly won independence. Rasseln was now incorporated into the Mairie de Gladbach (Mayor of Gladbach) , which also belonged to the canton of Neersen , as part of the municipality of Hardt .

In 1801, in the Peace of Lunéville, the last Roman-German Emperor , Franz II (von Habsburg-Lothringen ) , ceded the areas on the left bank of the Rhine to France under international law , so Rasseln officially became a French village. The residents of Rasseln were now French citizens and were claimed as such by the French state. B. also drafted into the French military and had to take part in Napoléon's campaigns on the French side .

Rattles after 1815

After the area fell to the then victorious Prussia following Napoléon's defeat in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 , the French administrative structures were partially taken over by the new sovereigns. Ratteln remained under Prussian rule as a district of Hardt initially in the area of ​​the Gladbach mayor. From 1816 the canton of Neersen was dissolved by the Prussian administration and replaced by the district of Gladbach . The former monies as somehow independent administrative units were not restored even under the Prussian authorities.

In 1835, as part of a further municipal reform, Hardt (with rattles) was spun off from the Gladbach mayor's area and from then on formed an independent mayor's office within the Gladbach district. 94 years later, in 1929, the Mayor's Office Hardt , which had meanwhile been renamed " Amt Hardt ", was finally incorporated into the - now independent - city ​​of Mönchengladbach as part of a renewed regional reform on the part of the Prussian administration , whereby it has remained until today, so that Rasseln now is a district of Mönchengladbach.

Around 500  m south of the village, the Rasseln waterworks was built in 1955 , which today is one of six waterworks in the city that contributes to the drinking water supply of the city ​​of Mönchengladbach.
