Schevenhütte has been the easternmost district of Stolberg (Rhld.) In the Aachen city region since 1972 and was previously part of the Gressenich community .
geography
Schevenhütte is located in the transition area between the Vennvorland and the Eifelvorland and the Rureifel. It extends north-south in the valley of the Wehebach , which flows through the village from south to north after it emerges from the nearby Wehebachtalsperre . With the exception of the town exit in the west towards Gressenich , the place is completely surrounded by forest. Another neighboring town is Hamich in the north. In the south, the Wehebachtalsperre cut off the previously economically important connection to the Eifel (next town was Großhau in the municipality of Hürtgenwald ). The Hürtgenwald extends to the east . The next place on the L 12 is Gürzenich . In the south is the small district of Joaswerk, further south in the middle of the forest the group of houses Bend.
history
Schevenhütte's history is shaped by iron processing in the Eifel and Voreifel. Its beginnings in Schevenhütte go back a long way: In addition to excavations of two protective systems from the Iron Age and the Carolingian period (8th / 10th centuries), at least seven melting furnaces from Roman times were identified in the valley of the Wehe shortly before the Wehebach dam was completed. Roman ceramic remains are no evidence of settlement of the place, but can also come from travelers passing through. The neighboring Rennweg (from Rennofen ) offers an indication of early iron production .
The first mention of the place is related to iron processing. Schevenhütte is mentioned for the first time as the name of an ironworks in a letter dated October 28, 1525, which has been received together with the first military service invoices and in which the Jülich Duke Johann III von Kleve-Jülich-Berg (1490–1539) is Bailiff in Düren , the Wehrmeister, asks the riding master Kerstgen Joaes ("wonhphia uff scheyver Hutte") during the casting of bullets by providing u. a. to support of charcoal. 1571 and 1596 are known as the years of construction of houses in the village. On the Seutterus map, the place is called "Scheven", in the 17th century alternately "Hütten" and "Scheivenhütte", which was replaced by the current form "Schevenhütte" in the middle of the 18th century.
When the duke's order was given, the Eifel riding masters had been mining iron using blast furnaces and riding works for almost two centuries , because the conditions for iron production using riding works were good in Schevenhütte . But the overexploitation of the forests with the resulting shortage of the energy source charcoal and increased transport costs, the takeover of the Rhineland by Prussia in 1815 with the resulting loss of sales markets and, last but not least, the use of coke instead of charcoal as a reducing agent also led in the 19th century in Schevenhütte to the decline of the riding stables. Street names such as “Im Hammer”, “Joaswerk” or “Hüttensiefen” still tell of iron processing.
Until 1794 Schevenhütte belonged to the Jülich Wehrmeisterei office, then with Elle, Rott and Gracht to Mairie Heistern in the canton of Eschweiler in the Département de la Roer .
In 1815 Schevenhütte came with the Rhineland to Prussia and was added to the community of Gressenich , which it remained until it was incorporated into Stolberg together with the latter in 1972. Only between 1845 and 1850 did Schevenhütte form a special community with Vicht. From 1816 to 2009 the place belonged to the Aachen district , since then to the Aachen city region ; with the administrative district of Aachen , it came to the administrative district of Cologne in 1972 .
In 1882 Schevenhütte had 380 inhabitants.
On September 12, 1944, the US's rapid advance to Schevenhütte opened the so-called “ Stolberg Corridor ”.
In 1991 Schevenhütte had 795 inhabitants, in 2006: 788.
The first postcode was 5181 Schevenhütte (via Eschweiler ) , after incorporation 5190 , since 1993 52224 Stolberg (-Schevenhütte) ; a map see here .
Economy and Infrastructure
Sawmills and slate mining were able to offset the decline of the iron industry in the middle of the 19th century. An outdoor swimming pool (now closed), a mini golf course (closed), table tennis tables, circular hiking trails, a boat pond (created from a mill pond) and an equestrian center made Schevenhütte an excursion or even holiday destination early on. Even today the place lives mainly from gastronomy and tourism.
Social
In Schevenhütte there is a municipal day care facility for children and the Senibus Curandis retirement home .
religion
From 1664 to 1666 the military master Theodor Leers had a chapel built which was consecrated to the Most Holy Trinity. In 1699 Schevenhütte separates from its mother parish in Lendersdorf . Johann Peter Schmitz becomes the first pastor. In 1888/1889, today's three-aisled, neo-Gothic parish church of St. Josef was built from Schevenhütte slate . Also worth seeing is the organ from the previous building from 1853 from the workshop of the Kalscheuer siblings from Nörvenich .
