Setterich is an eastern district of Baesweiler in the Aachen city region . After the main town Baesweiler, it is by far the largest district. The place had a larger population increase after the Second World War because of the coal mining. Numerous miners from the Emil Mayrisch mine in neighboring Siersdorf have settled here.
history

The origins of the place are in the dark. The first written mention from 1119 refers to the church. From this it can be concluded that the place existed before. Territorially, Setterich belonged to the Duchy of Jülich until the French reorganization of the areas on the left bank of the Rhine.
Before the First World War , Setterich formed together with Siersdorf (today to Aldenhoven ) and Schaufenberg (today to Alsdorf ) the mayor's office of Setterich. Before 1935, Setterich belonged to the Jülich district as an independent municipality and then moved to the Geilenkirchen district . The administration was for many years in Immendorf (Immendorf-Würm Office), it was not until 1961 that Setterich became a municipality with its own administration. This independence only lasted until the municipal territorial reform, which took effect on January 1, 1972. Since then, Setterich has been a district of Baesweiler and belongs to the Aachen district , which became the Aachen city region in 2009.
From 1961 until it was incorporated into Baesweiler, the zip code was "5112 Setterich / over Alsdorf (Kr. Aachen)".
The castle Setterich belonged to the family since the early 15th century by Reuschenberg , one of the most influential country noble families of the Duchy Jülich in the 16th and 17th centuries. Its members held important positions in regional history and in various orders, especially in the Teutonic Order. From the Wasserburg only erected in 1640 there gatehouse . The remaining buildings were demolished around 1820. Today there is a residential and nursing home for senior citizens on the site with the gatehouse as an access road.
coat of arms
The municipality of Setterich was given a coat of arms by the North Rhine-Westphalian interior minister in 1961. Blazon : "In black a red-armored silver (white) soaring lion."
The lion comes from the coat of arms of the barons of Reuschenberg zu Setterich , who had a great influence in the Duchy of Jülich . It is not clear whether the lion is related to the Duchy of Jülich.
education
In Setterich there are five kindergartens, a secondary school, in which most of the lessons at the Baesweiler Music School take place, and two elementary schools. The secondary school, which emerged from elementary schools in 1969 as part of the major school reform, was closed at the end of the 2009/2010 school year due to insufficient student numbers.
religion
Until the settlement of numerous miners from 1954, the place was largely Roman Catholic. The Jewish minority, around 40 out of around 1200 inhabitants, who had their own prayer house, was abducted and murdered during National Socialism if they did not manage to escape from Germany beforehand.
As a result of mining, Protestant Christians first moved in, followed later by Muslims, mostly from Turkey and Morocco.
Today are in place
- the Catholic Church of St. Andrew , which was rebuilt in 1961 after being destroyed in the war
- the Protestant church of grace, consecrated in 1958
- two mosque associations , one that is visited by Moroccan Muslims and one that is visited by Turkish Muslims.

Setterich was on the B 57 (“Hauptstraße”), which also ran through Alt-Baesweiler (there “Aachener Straße”). The first section of the bypass road (B 57 n) was opened in September 2011. The next motorway junction is " Aldenhoven " on the A 44 and " Weisweiler " (since the end of 2006 " Eschweiler -Ost") on the A 4 .
The next DB - train stations are "Ubach-Palenberg" and "Geilenkirchen" on the line Aachen-Mönchengladbach and "Eschweiler Hbf" at the track "Aachen-Cologne". The next Euregiobahn stop is "Alsdorf-Annapark". A branch line of the Euregiobahn from Alsdorf-Kellersberg to Baesweiler-Setterich is being planned.
In the first half of the 20th century, the Geilenkirchen circular railway ran through what is now the city on the Alsdorf – Baesweiler – Setterich – Puffendorf – Immendorf – Geilenkirchen route. The line was closed in 1953.
Several AVV bus routes connect Setterich with all of Baesweiler's districts as well as with Alsdorf , Siersdorf, Schleiden , Aldenhoven, Gereonsweiler, Geilenkirchen and Linnich .
Sports
In Setterich there are two football pitches, one of which has facilities for athletics, and three school gyms that are used for club sports outside of school hours. There is also a place for the archery club and the air rifle range of the St. Sebastianus rifle brotherhood. Another soccer field next to the secondary school was converted into a building area in summer 2012.

Settericher windmill
In the open field southeast of Baesweiler (towards Siersdorf) is the brick stump of the windmill , which was built in 1570 by Johann von Reuschenberg. The choice of the location was determined by the favorable westerly winds. The windmill was first mentioned in a document on February 3, 1579 in a lease agreement between Heinrich von Reuschenberg and Theodor Nobis, the leaseholder of the "Small Court" in Siersdorf. It was used for grain grinding until 1912. During the Second World War it was shot at when Setterich was captured, so that only the tower stump remains. The interpretation of the windmill ruins as a watchtower of the Teutonic Order has been refuted, as the property always belonged to Setterich and was never subordinate to the Siersdorf commander.
