St. Hubert is a district of the city of Kempen on the left Lower Rhine in the district of Viersen in the west of North Rhine-Westphalia with around 8,900 inhabitants . The closest major city is Krefeld .
geography
The area of the district in the district of Viersen lies on the Kendel - a small stream - and borders in the southeast on the Kempens area , in the northwest on Aldekerk , in the northeast on the Kempen district of Tönisberg and in the east on Krefeld . In the northeast of St. Hubert there is the St. Hubert break - a small forest area.
history
The roots of the old town are likely to be found in the construction of a wooden church in 625. Over the years, the two honors Orbroich and Broich developed , which belonged to the Kempen Electoral Office until the end of the 18th century . In 1790 the parish of St. Hubertus became independent across from Kempen. During the French rule (1794-1814) Orbroich and Broich were united to a Mairie , which belonged to the canton of Kempen in the arrondissement of Krefeld of the Rur department . Under the Prussian administration, the mayor's office of St. Hubert belonged to the Kempen district, established in 1816 in the administrative district of Düsseldorf , which from 1822 belonged to the Rhine province . According to statistics from 1836, St. Hubert was a "rural collective municipality with two special household communities" and had 2,324 inhabitants. The two communities Orbroich and Broich were still referred to as honors, the village of St. Hubert with 492 inhabitants belonged to the Honschaft Broich.
In the 19th century there were many looms in the weavers' houses - but agriculture remained predominant. In 1871 the first railway, the so-called " Schluff ", ran through St. Hubert.
Broich and Orbroich merged in 1913 to form the parish of St. Hubert. With effect from June 6, 1924, Kamperling's honor, which had previously belonged to the municipality of St. Hubert, was incorporated into the municipality of Kempen.
Under National Socialist rule, St. Hubert was again subordinated to the Kempen office in 1936 for administrative purposes. But this was revised after the war in 1946. St. Hubert was now administratively independent until the municipal reorganization, which came into force on January 1, 1970. On that day the communities of Kempen (Niederrhein), Hüls, Tönisberg, Schmalbroich and St. Hubert were merged to form the city of Kempen . The district Hüls, however, was assigned to the city of Krefeld on January 1, 1975.
dialect
In St. Hubert, “St. Huberter Platt ”or“ Hüppersch Plott ”spoken. The Kempen district is - like Kempen itself - in the Lower Franconian dialect north of the so-called Benrath line (with the maache-maake distinction), which separates the southern Middle Franconian (also called Ripuarian ) from the northern Lower Franconian . St. Hubert is also north of the Uerdinger dialect line , which runs past Hüls via Kempen to Venlo. This Uerdingen line (also called ek-ech border) separates the southern Lower Franconian (which is spoken in Uerdingen and Krefeld, for example) from the northern Lower Franconian , which z. B. in Hüls (see Hölsch Plott ) and Kempen with its districts and north of it on the Lower Rhine.
One of the main differences is the pronunciation of the personal pronoun "I", which is spoken as "ech" or "isch" in southern Lower Franconia, but as "ek" in northern Lower Franconia. The word “also” is pronounced differently, namely as “ook” in the north and as “ooch” further south. This also applies to the verb "haben": in St. Hubert one says z. B. "we häbbe". Further south it says “we hant”.
Although fewer and fewer people understand dialect, Platt is cultivated at Carnival, on dialect evenings and in clubs (the people of St. Hubert are often called "Zintuppic Croans" by neighboring communities). There is also a rich dialect literature (the writings and publications of the St. Hubert authors Jupp Pasch and Hannes Martens - as well as the "Hüppersch Plott Dictionary") are to be emphasized.
Culture and sights
The Berfes in earlier times ere Tu-raves, been to the adjacent farmhouse, called. Today you can also find the name Bergfried. It can be assumed that this building was built in the 14th century. The construction consists of eight mighty oak columns that stand on Nordic boulders, the rest of the foundation is bricked. The half-timbered walls are filled with clay. The layer of clay mixed with straw went over the entire woodwork, and earlier also over the oak stands, so that the tower was protected against the setting up of a fire. The Berfes consists of two floors and an upper floor similar to a battlement . The roof protrudes and thus offered protection from attackers. Back then, today's tiled roof was covered with thatch or thatch. After the Second World War, the Berfes was on the verge of decline. In 1951 it was restored at high cost for the conditions at the time and saved from collapse. In 1981 the tower had to be repaired again at great expense. At the time, the St. Hubert homeland association contributed to the costs.

The weaver's house was built in 1858. It shows the typical features of the weaver houses, as they were built in large numbers around this time in St. Hubert. They were used to practice home weaving, which was the basis of livelihood for many families in turbulent times. The client was the velvet and silk industry in Krefeld. The restored "Knippen-Stuev" is suitable for small wedding parties of up to 12 people. The room is reminiscent of simple rooms in workers' houses around 1900.
