|
|
Schaag is a district of Nettetal in the Viersen district in North Rhine-Westphalia .
structure
Schaag is a rural place and is surrounded by smaller forest areas between the Mühlenbach and the Nette . Schaag is not a small closed village. The residential areas belonging to the village, also known as honors or sections , are rather scattered over an area of around four square kilometers. The village has 3766 inhabitants (as of June 2013).
Names and meaning of the residential areas
While the street names are pretty new, named for places, people, or things, the names of the residential areas are old. The following is the meaning of the individual names:
- Schaag , the old name for the center of the village, comes from Hag or Haag, an old word for hedge, bush or wood.
- Steinkoul , an old name for Schaag, is no longer in use today. Where Hubertusplatz is today (market square), there used to be a cave, a pit in which clay was dug to burn bricks from.
- Rieth is quite low and used to be swampy. Sedge and reeds grew there.
- Bruckrath suggests that quarry forest used to grow there, which has been cleared. The ending "-rath" can be found in many place names. It means clearing.
- Rahe has the same meaning.
- Pasch goes back to the dialect word "Pääsch". It means bush or forest.
- Furth is located at a point where the way to Bracht used to lead through a flat spot, a ford, through the stream.
- Bacon is probably derived from the Latin word "spectare" = to see. Because from here you can see well to Breyell and the Nettetal.
- Sonnendyck wants to say that in the midday sun (to the south) the area slopes gently like a dike. This allows the sun's rays to be particularly effective here. The soil is dry and warm faster in spring.
- The Kreuzgarten , a place of worship in the area of a blown bunker, was laid out after the Second World War .
- Today's residential area " Am Kreuzgarten " was formerly called Bullen; that comes from Bühl = Berg. As in Sonnendyck, the terrain there rises slightly from the Nette.
history
Since the place belonged to Breyell for a long time, the story of Schaag is almost identical to the one there. It was not until 1802 that the chapel community at that time was elevated to an independent parish .
The first Schaager to hold the office of Mayor of Breyell from 1851 to 1872 was Johann Hubert Josef Moubis. The last mayor in the long history of the Breyell community was the second Schaager from 1966 to December 31, 1969, Hans-Herbert Rösges. As part of the local reorganization, Hans-Herbert Rösges was appointed first council representative of the new city of Nettetal by the interior minister of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Thus Hans-Herbert Rösges, a Schaager, was the first citizen of the city on January 1st, 1970.
In the 19th and 20th centuries a modest industry emerged alongside agriculture. A few tanneries, a leather processing company, an animal carcass processing factory, a brewery, as well as a cigar factory, a stocking factory and a large cheese trade were established. In the period after the Second World War, numerous expellees came to Schaag and settled the newly designated building areas.
Until the municipal reorganization, Schaag belonged to the formerly independent municipality of Breyell in ( Kempen-Krefeld district ). Breyell was incorporated into the newly formed town of Nettetal on January 1, 1970 . In 1995 the place was raised to the politically independent sixth and equal district of Nettetal.
The tornado in the Viersen district on May 16, 2018 caused damage to the place.
politics
The seat of the city administration responsible for Schaag and the political bodies is the Lobberich district .
