Richterich is one of the seven city districts of Aachen and is located as a suburb northwest of the city of Aachen . To the municipality Richterich include the towns of Forster Heide , Horbach , hoof , Uersfeld and Richterich. It borders on the Aachen district of Laurensberg , the Herzogenrath district of Kohlscheid and the Dutch province of Limburg . It is believed that the history of Richterich and Horbach goes back a long time, as the name indicates a Celtic settlement. The name recteriacum is attested for the Roman period .
history
Richterich is located in the Heydener Ländchen , which belonged to the Duchy of Jülich from the Middle Ages to the end of the 18th century as the Heyden dominion . The seat of rule was the Wasserburg Haus Heyden in Horbach. In the 19th century came from a part of the rule Heyden the mayoralty Heyden , later mayor or parish called Richterich.
From 1911 to 1927, the Carl-Friedrich mine, the southernmost mine in the worm area, produced hard coal. The workforce was up to about 500 men. The production was stopped after only 16 years because of the unfavorable tectonic conditions and the poor quality coal.
As part of the municipal reorganization , Richterich was incorporated into Aachen on January 1, 1972 in accordance with the Aachen Act . The districts of Bank and Wilsberg with 1119 inhabitants, which had grown together with the neighboring Kohlscheid , were incorporated together with Kohlscheid to Herzogenrath . Richterich became one of the newly created urban districts of Aachen and has since been one of the districts of Aachen .
Buildings

history
Richterich used to have its own train station on the Aachen – Mönchengladbach line and a branch to the Aachen – Maastricht line via Vetschau . Passenger traffic for the Richterich station was given up in 1966. In 1992 the line to Simpelveld was closed and dismantled in Vetschau over a length of a few hundred meters. The junction switch has been expanded. Today there is only one transfer point in Richterich .
future
It is planned to build another stop on the Aachen – Mönchengladbach railway line , which will be served by the Euregiobahn . The prerequisite is the planned electrification of the Euregiobahn. For the stop, the city of Aachen, the Aachener Verkehrsverbund , the NVR and the DB Station & Service commissioned a feasibility study for the so-called "north variant" in 2013 as a supplement to a study already prepared in 2008 for a "south variant". Citizens' information was also given. The construction of the Richterich stop, the redesign of the Aachen West train station and the reconstruction of the Eilendorf stop are subsidized with a total of 550,000 euros as part of the EU Citizens' Rail project .
