history

There was a prehistoric settlement here as early as the Neolithic Age. In Roman times there was a place of worship for local spring goddesses in the Gohr, Straberg and Nievenheim area. Before 1137, Straberg was first mentioned as Strabruch . A noble family von Straberg could be proven between 1176 and 1262. Straberg was originally part of the Knechtsteden monastery; here the farm workers of the monastery lived a little apart from the monks. After 1815 Straberg became an independent municipality in the mayor's office of Nievenheim . This was renamed to Amt Nievenheim in 1927 . The last mayor of Straberg was Leo Drexler (CDU). Hermman Harig (CDU) held the office of his deputy. The last honorary community director was Johannes Sticker with his general representative Wilhelm Demming. On January 1, 1975 Straberg became a district of the city of Dormagen .

The name Straberg is probably derived from Strohberg.

Culture and leisure

The Straberg-Nievenheimer See is located near Straberg . Here you have the opportunity to relax and do various leisure activities in summer. The lake gained national fame on July 10, 1994, when a swimmer's caiman named "Sammy" escaped. The harmless young animal was finally caught with a fish quiver and rendered harmless under the well-organized leadership from the executive floor of the Dormagen city marketing department after days of fearless deployment of a star contingent of big game hunters. The Tagesschau also reported on it.
