history

Rossenray was originally a peasantry and formed a rural community in the mayor's Vierquartieren since the 19th century (from 1928 Amt Vierquartieren ). This belonged to the Geldern district until 1857 and to the Moers district since 1857. On April 1, 1934, Rossenray became part of the new town of Kamp-Lintfort. In the course of the 20th century the character of the originally purely agricultural community changed. Several quarry ponds were created, the urban development of Kamp-Lintfort extended to Rossenray and from 1963 to 2011 a coal mine was operated in Rossenray .

In October 2019, the dismantling of the winding tower of the former mine, which can be seen from afar, began. The dismantling should be completed by the end of 2020.
