society

Today there are neither inns nor other localities in both villages, with which the villages were well supplied in the past. Well-known inns were the restaurants of Jakob Esser and Hans Kirchmann, both located in Rubbelrath, as well as the "Restauration zum Schwanen" in Steinforth and the youngest location in history, the "Alte Post" restaurant, also located in Steinforth.

Infrastructure

There were several grocery stores in the double village, but none of the classic "mom and pop shops" still exist.

In the tradition of the twin villages, the many farms must not remain anonymous. In both places there are still active farms today, which, due to the all-round fertile loess soils with state-of-the-art equipment, operate cattle farming (cattle, dairy farming, goats) and agriculture (carrots, grain, sugar beets, etc.).

history

In Steinforth-Rubbelrath there is an extensive site of rubble from Roman times. Since all the debris in the Korschenbroich-Glehn area has only been recorded by individual and surface finds, an archaeological evaluation has not yet been carried out.

In 1166 Steinforth was first mentioned as Steinuurthe . The name means a secured with stones Furth through the Come Erbach, which probably a Roman road is due. The origin of the village was the Steinforther Hof, a Liedberg knight's fief, which was mentioned in 1575 as a rural property.

The name Rubbelrath indicates a medieval clearing. The name Robelray has been handed down from 1435 .

In 1804 there were 232 people in Steinforth and 85 people in Rubbelrath.

After the municipal territorial reform in North Rhine-Westphalia, Steinforth-Rubbelrath became part of the newly formed municipality of Korschenbroich on January 1, 1975; until then they belonged to the Liedberg community. Korschenbroich was promoted to town on January 1, 1981.
