Ursfeld

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The hamlet of Ursfeld belonged to the place Gleuel of the future city of Hürth . Around 1936 it was one of the first settlements to make way for lignite mining in the Rhenish lignite district .

location

Ursfeld lay in a forest clearing on the ridge of the Ville to the west of Aldenrath, which was also dredged, on Türnich and beyond Aldenrath Castle.

description

Ursfeld Cross

The hamlet, first mentioned in a document in connection with the parish church in Gleuel in 1297, had eleven houses (fireplaces) and 57 inhabitants in 1831. This number has not changed significantly in the following years. The center was the Herwegen inn , where Urschels Trööt Griet served . There was a small chapel next to the restaurant, a two-story brick building on the edge of the forest. The place and economy were demolished in 1936 after the Berrenrath opencast mine had advanced . The same fate should flourish for the town of Bottenbroich in the Türnich community , which the Second World War initially prevented.

To the south of the hamlet there was a Roman manor that has also been excavated.

Afterlife

Roads in the resettled village of Berrenrath and in Balkhausen still remind of the hamlet , and the road that led from Türnich to Ursfeld is still called Ursfelder Straße. The listed Ursfelder Kreuz crossroads were placed on the outskirts of Gleuel, on Zieskovener Straße, which led to the also excavated hamlet of Zieskoven .
