history

Rheinkamp-Mitte was chosen in 1975 as the name for a residential area in the Rheinkamp district of the city of Moers during the municipal reform of the municipalities in North Rhine-Westphalia . From 1950 Rheinkamp was the place name of the double community Repelen-Baerl , which was dissolved during the reform and the local area was divided between the cities of Duisburg and Moers. The name Meerfeld , which is often used for Rheinkamp-Mitte by residents of the Rheinkamp district, has historical reasons. Meerfeld was the local name for the fields that lay between the old center of the village of Repelen and the farmers of Utfort, east of the Sea of Repelen . Meerfeld was derived from "field by the sea" and refers to the fields that are located here on the lake-like enlarged Moersbach , which used to be an arm of the old Rhine .

The local area of ​​Meerfeld formerly belonged to the church village Repelen and was neither a hamlet nor a peasantry. Also in a description of the administrative district of Düsseldorf from 1836 and in a place and address directory from 1901 no hamlet of Meerfeld was mentioned. At that time, for example, “Wiese am Repelner Meer” was used as a location name instead of “im Meerfeld”, as it was later to be. The name Meerfeld obviously only became common as a general place name after the beginning of the 20th century, when the entire area of ​​the Mayor of Repelen became more populated by coal mining, since at the same time the center of the village of Repelen at the Protestant church is westward into the area of ​​the new one Market place on Lintforter Straße.

While there is no direct written evidence in the Middle Ages and the modern era for the Meerfeld area, there is evidence of the presence of residents in significantly older periods. Finds of this settlement have been found in three places to the east, but near the Repeler Sea. The oldest finds for a settlement from the earlier Iron Age were ceramic shards, smelting clay , quartzite chips and shards of the cup culture. The second find, various ceramic shards, is an individual find from the Middle Bronze Age . From the Roman times in the 2nd century AD, a settlement was found that mainly concerned various ceramic shards.
