Location of Robend in Viersen

Robend (actually: the Robend , occasionally also the Robend ) is a district of the North Rhine-Westphalian district town of Viersen . Within the Viersen urban area, the district of Robend belongs to the district of Alt-Viersen and is located approx. 1.5–2 km east of the Altviersen city center. Within North Rhine-Westphalia, Robend also belongs to the Lower Rhine region and, as a district of Viersen, also belongs to the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region .

Earlier names for the area were alde Benden , alde finishing , in high German translation also old Benden , also Rabenden or Rabend . As far as it is known, the area of ​​Robend was part of the Altviersener Honnschaft Rintgen since the Middle Ages , nothing is known of any local political independence.

Since 2001, the district of Robend has been considerably enlarged in a south-westerly direction by the new development area Stadtpark Robend , so that the development now almost extends as far as the Viersen train station .

Etymology and history

Hülsdonk and Robend during the French period around 1805. The north canal, which was already completed here at that time,can beclearly seen in the center of the picture.
Robend and Robend City Park today (2011).

The area of ​​the Robend was once called " the old Benden " in different variations ( see above! ) . Here designated Bend originally a temporarily locked against grazing hay meadow. A few larger farms had been located there since at least the 16th century . At the beginning of the 19th century , a street village called " Rabenden " had already developed along today's street Robend . It is assumed that the name Rabenden originated from Rath - Benden , and developed through " Rabend " to today's Robend . In the course of the 20th century the development of the Robend became more and more dense, so that finally the almost complete, predominantly multi-family houses along the street " Robend " emerged as we know it today.

Robend City Park

Beyond the Robender Feld , an agricultural open space in the southwest of Robend, the originally quite extensive loading area of ​​the Viersen freight yard was built in the 20th century . After the end of World War II , Viersen became part of the British occupation zone and the British Rhine Army , whose headquarters were in nearby Mönchengladbach , set up a military depot area between the Viersen freight yard and Robender Feld with a connection to the German railway network . This depot was finally abandoned after the end of the Cold War in 1995. The loading and maintenance facilities of the Viersen freight station were also shut down and demolished in the following years , creating a large open space between Robender Feld and the railway embankment with the remaining railway line including the passenger station at the end of the 1990s . The new urban park Robend district has gradually been built on this open space since 2001 .

As an urban highlight, a section of the former north canal was restored. The Hageau Promenade , named after the chief engineer of the historic North Canal project, Aimable Hageau, extends along this restored canal section as one of two main axes of this traffic-calmed new development area . In memory of the original plans for the north canal (a route to Antwerp was actually intended ), a number of other streets in the area were named after today's Belgian or Dutch cities and areas, such as B. Bruxelles Allee , Flämische Allee or Limburgweg .

As part of the construction work, a tunnel was also built under the adjacent railway embankment in the Viersen station building; Since then, the Viersen train station can also be entered from the east (from the direction of Robend City Park).

traffic

Road traffic

The area of ​​Robend is touched on the northern edge of the North Rhine-Westphalian state road L29, this is the former federal road 7 , which is also called " Krefelder Straße " here . The L29 connects Robend to the west with the Alt-Viersen city ​​center, to the east with the Willich district of Neersen , where there is also a connection to the A44 .

Rail transport

passenger traffic

The railway lines from Mönchengladbach to Duisburg and from Mönchengladbach to Venlo run on a joint embankment on the southern edge of the new urban park Robend . A newly built pedestrian tunnel leads from the Robend city park directly to Viersen station , where you can board a regional train and two regional express lines:RE 11, RE 13 or. RB 33.

Freight transport

From a junkyard on the eastern edge of Robend, a freight track also leads at ground level to the southeast , where it branches off from the embankment of the main railway line beyond the neighboring district of Düpp .

Bus transport

As a district of Viersen, the area Robend / Stadtpark Robend belongs to the tariff area of ​​the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr . The BVR bus Rheinland GmbH and the low Viersen serve the area with a total of six bus lines. This means that Robend / Stadtpark Robend has direct connections with most of Viersen. The two BVR lines also link the area with all four districts of the neighboring city of Willich as well as with the Düsseldorf suburbs of Meerbusch and Kaarst , where there is a connection to the light rail or S-Bahn network:

Bike trails

In the original Robend (essentially the street of the same name) there are no official cycle paths, but three themed routes of the North Rhine-Westphalian cycle path network run through the new urban park Robend :

For the Fietsallee on the north canal (or the Euroga cycle route), the section on the Hageau promenade along the north canal, which has been reconstructed here, is naturally one of the highlights of this themed route. In the area of ​​the menhir facility " Anatol's Stone Circle ", which is located directly on the canal , there is also an information point and a small rest area for cyclists.

Attractions

Anatol's stone circle

As part of Euroga 2002/2003, a North Rhine-Westphalian state horticultural show organized in a decentralized manner at the time , the sculptor Anatol Herzfeld erected a stone circle of ten large boulders with a circumference of approx. 400 m on the north canal reconstructed in the Robend city park. The boulders came from the vicinity of Viersen's Brandenburg twin town Calau . On the edge of the stone circle there is also the information point " bridge keeper's house " to Fietsallee on the north canal , although the bridge keeper's house is approx. 150 m further north.

Bridge keeper's house

The former bridge keeper's house of the North Canal project is located at Antwerp Square No. 1. The building, which was erected in 1810, has been a listed building under the list number 366 since 1998.
