Settlement structure and traffic

Ompert is a street village and essentially consists of only one street, the " Omperter Weg ", from which smaller side paths branch off occasionally, which are closed to general vehicle traffic. At the northeast end of the Omperter Weg , the development of Ompert merges seamlessly with that of the neighboring Ummer.

Road traffic

The Omperter Weg is an inner-city street in Viersen, which branches off the state road L71 (" Gladbacher Straße ") in Ummer and runs via Ompert to Bötzlöh . Since the Omperter Weg in Bötzlöh de jure becomes a dead end , Ompert can only be reached by motor vehicles via this access from Gladbacher Straße in Ummer.

Rail transport

There is no railway line in Ompert and there has never been, but a tram line existed between 1906 and 1959 in Ummer, not far from the northeast end of Ompert. The tram line originally connected Mönchengladbach with Alt-Viersen and Süchteln and ran in Ummer along Gladbacher Straße . There was also a bus stop on Gladbacher Strasse near the confluence of Omperter Weg . From 1955 the connection was shut down in sections. Initially, the tram went from M'gladbach to the old town of Viersen and ended there at Remigiusplatz, from 1959 the tram ended (like bus line 009 today) directly behind the Gladbach city limits at the stop already in the Viersen city area " Helenabrunn, signpost ". Since then, no trams have passed Omperter Weg . Tram traffic in neighboring Mönchengladbach was finally shut down completely in 1969. The closest train stations to Ompert that are still in operation are now Viersen train station and Mönchengladbach main train station .

Bus transport

As a district of Viersen, Ompert is part of the tariff area of the Rhein-Ruhr transport association . At the confluence of Omperter Weg on Gladbacher Strasse , in Ummer, there is the bus stop of the same name, " Omperter Weg ", which can be easily reached on foot from Ompert.
