Local history
Schalbruch used to belong to the Jülich office of Millen. Later the court and the parish Havert, as well as three small fiefs of the man chamber Millen, were located in Schalbruch . The name Schalbruch probably originated from peeling the tree bark in the quarry in order to use it for tanning. The adjacent quarry forest was the border area between the lords of Valkenburg and Millen. Schalbruch had a total of 320 inhabitants in 1828 and belonged to the Havert community and the Selfkant district.
From April 23, 1949 to July 31, 1963, the Selfkant and thus also Schalbruch were under Dutch order management. The repatriation took place on August 1, 1963 after payment of 280 million D-Marks .
With the law on the reorganization of municipalities in the Selfkantkreis Geilenkirchen-Heinsberg of June 24, 1969, the following change of area came into force on July 1, 1969.
§ 1 (1) The municipalities of Havert , Hillensberg, Höngen , Millen , Süsterseel, Tüddern, Wehr (Selfkant office) and the Saeffelen municipality (Waldfeucht office) will be merged to form a new municipal municipality. The community is given the name Selfkant.
§ 1 (2) The Office Selfkant is dissolved. The legal successor is the municipality of Selfkant.
Church history
The parish of St. Gertrud Havert was with Isenbruch , Lind, Schalbruch and stone an independent parish . The majority of the population consists of Catholics .
The Barbarakapelle was built in Schalbruch in 1861. After the Second World War , the St. Peter and Paul Church was built elsewhere because of the shortage of space in the chapel. On May 1, 1976 the church was designated.
In the course of the parish reforms in the Diocese of Aachen, the formerly independent Catholic parish of St. Gertrud was incorporated into the Community of Parishes (GdG) St. Servatius Selfkant .
