Strommoers is a field name on the northern edge of the city of Moers (in the area of ​​the Rheinkamp district in the Kohlenhuck district , at the foot of the Kohlenhuck mining dump, adjacent to the Rheinberger Strasse) in the border area to the Rheinberger district of Winterswick .

In the corridor west of Rheinberger Straße there are some inhabited and agricultural buildings, including remnants of the historic Strommoers estate (first mentioned in writing around 1050 AD) with the house of the respective abbot from Kamp Abbey and the (still in occasional use) historical court chapel.

The historic Hofgut Strommoers

The large manor , also known as a manor since the Prussian era, can be documented from the High Middle Ages . Gut Strommoers (originally Mursa, Strommurse and similar spellings), which belongs to the benefices of various monasteries and was sold to the Cistercian monastery Kamp in 1256 , was located in the northernmost area of ​​Kohlenhuck on the Moersbach (a formerly navigable Altrhein river ) flowing from Repelen towards Rheinberg .

Strommoers - Hofgut with tower, former abbot apartment

The Strommoers estate was already mentioned in the list of properties of the Benedictine Abbey in Werden before 1003. In 1003 the estate, then still called "Mursa", was donated by the Werden Abbey to the Sankt Kunibert Abbey in Deutz and from there as a donation to the Maria Abbey in the Capitol .

The "Mursa" estate kept this name until the names "Stromorse" and "Stramorse" (and similar) appeared around the beginning of the 13th century. This closer identification of the place served to distinguish it from the residence "Murs" (today's Moers), which was elevated to the status of a town in 1300. Strom-Moers was therefore the place on the still open, navigable part of the old arm of the Rhine (today's Moersbach), which was not small in width and was called the Strommoerser Meer or "het Meer".

When the abbot of Deutz Monastery made an inspection trip to the monastery courtyards in the Netherlands between 1155 and 1165 , he came across the Rhine by ship to Halen (around 1596 near what is now Duisburg on the left bank of the Rhine - Baerl sunk in the Rhine), rode off with his companion there to Strommoers and drove on from here by ship. Although the seas near Moers, Repelen and Strom-Moers, which were still very long at that time, were connected to each other by gullies, it was no longer possible to travel by ship from Halen to Rheinberg. Between the seas lay broken, swampy places through which the Moerse, the marshy, meandered when there was no high water.

In 1256, the Deutzer Abbey sold the estate with all the apartments (real estate) and servants for an annual rent of 9 marks and 6 shillings in Cologne to the Cistercian monastery Kamp. The sale was confirmed by the Archbishop of Cologne Konrad von Hochstaden . Only two of the serfs are excluded: Gerhard Proco, who has been appointed judge by Vogt Heinrich von Asdonk for a long time - and Gerhard Crusbule, probably the tenant of the estate.

The estate has always had its own chapel . It is assumed that this free court chapel of Strommoers (libra curtis capella), first mentioned in writing in 1147, was already of a great age at that time.

The abbots of Kamp monastery regularly stayed in a special building, the abbot's apartment, of which there are still old remains, in particular a house with a tower. In 1382 the abbot Adam von Lövenich died there.

On February 22, 1441, the place was victim of a fire. The barn and all its supplies were burned and forty pigs were suffocated. Some horses and the cows were saved. Only the chapel and the abbot's house were spared. The arsonist was Reinerus Bolten , who was caught three years later on the occasion of a crime in Alpen , where he confessed to the arson , which he had committed at the instigation of a third party. At that time, the overseer and administrator of the estate was the Converse Gerhard Loeff from Geldern . The buildings were rebuilt at great expense and with the help of friends, in particular Wilhelm Hämmer from Cologne, father of confrere Gisbert Hämmer, who had previously been a confessor in the Eppinghoven convent . Before 1622, under Abbot Carolus Reinhardt (Reiner), the estate was pledged for 6,000 Reichstaler. As a result of a long legal dispute between the Kamp Abbey and Messrs. Maximilian and Gotthard von Millendonk zu Frohnenbruch and Hoerstgen, the estate was badly devastated in 1693 and 1695 and under Abbot Wilhelm III. Norff from Rheinberg (1705–1726) completely restored.

After secularization

Together with the Kamp Abbey, Strommoers was also secularized on October 6, 1802 by the Napoleonic occupation . The chapel was temporarily used as a stable and barn.

After the French-occupied Rhineland passed to Prussia , the estate was sold by the Prussian domain administration after 1802, where it was officially designated as a manor and the respective owners were temporarily entitled to vote in the Prussian district council of the former district of Moers and in the state parliament. The widow Bartels bought the estate in 1810; the chapel was later used again as a place of worship and a Sunday mass was also celebrated there.

Strommoers - formerly navigable Moersbach

Verifiable buyers and owners up to 1883 were:

  • 1810 Widow Bartels
  • 1832 the Dübler family
  • 1837 Oettinger brothers (or Oettgen)
  • 1857 the Kauffmann brothers from Cologne
  • 1883 Josef Rotes

The owner at the time, "Oettgen", took part in the 11th provincial state parliament of the Rhine Province in 1854 as a member of the "Ritterggut Strommoers" for the knights of the Moers district. After that, the authorization for a manor must have expired, since the owner in the years from 1883 to 1894, "Josef Rotes", is only listed as the landowner in Strommoers. The land belonging to the estate was around 345 acres in 1857 .

In 1904 the property passed into the possession of the Vierhaus family, who built a pig fattening farm and a restaurant building on Rheinberger Strasse in 1911. In 1944 the pig farm fell victim to a bomb attack.

In 1988 the estate with the chapel, some associated buildings and the surrounding area became the property of Ruhrkohle AG , which operated coal mining in the Moers district. The restaurant building with ancillary building has been owned by the current private operator since 1999.

The Strommoers court chapel

The historic court chapel

The small brick chapel (Marien's chapel) of the old manor stands in the garden of the property. In 1147, the year of the 2nd Crusade, the first (forerunner) chapel already existed, which at that time was probably quite old. Due to dilapidation or because it had become too small, a second, today's chapel was built and consecrated in the same place in 1298. The chapel was spared during the arson attack on the Hofgut on February 22nd, 1441. The small church was spatially in the Repelen parish area, but it was not under the parish, it was a free court chapel from the beginning.

Until the inauguration of St. Anna's Church in Rheinberg in 1968, church services were still held regularly in Strommoers. In 1988 the chapel (with the estate) became the property of Ruhrkohle AG . With the support of the owner Ruhrkohle AG and the diocese of Münster , the rifle brothers of the Marienbruderschaft Rheinberg-Winterswick renovated the Marien-Kapelle (after which the brotherhood is named) and brought it into a more dignified condition. The altar , the ambo and the candlestick are new .

On March 20, 1993 the chapel was inaugurated by Auxiliary Bishop Heinrich Janssen and given its further use. Today the chapel is a listed building and is a miniature church made of black-brown field fire bricks with only a few benches.

Strommoers today

Gastronomy on Rheinberger Strasse

In 2016, only a few remaining buildings of the entire former stately property have been preserved, including the abbot's residential building with a historic tower, as well as the small court chapel, inaugurated in 1298, accessible via a short cul-de-sac from Rheinberger Straße.

The formerly navigable Moersbach is now a narrow Kendel . It runs at the foot of the Kohlenhuck dump and is widened to a small pond at the estate. Only the building erected in 1911 (with ancillary building), which has been known for years as event catering (including a discotheque) and on the front of which is written “Strommoers”, is directly visible from the main street.
