history

The name Vennikel, also written Vennickel in older publications, can be traced back to the Germanic words “ven” and “vinkil”. A swamp was designated with ven and a local angle with vinkil . The area name means a higher lying swampy and wooded area .

The rural settlement of the Vennikel area can be traced back to the beginning of the High Middle Ages . As with several places in Moers, the Werden Abbey also had property in the area of ​​Vennikel at this time . In the land register of this abbey, which was built around 900, various free float in the vicinity of the Friemersheim manor were listed. Among others, two hooves were also listed in "Fenikinne". The mention of Vennikel in the Atlas Maior , which was published between 1662 and 1665, is remarkable . There, in addition to Moers, only the peasant communities of Capellen, Repelen and “Vennekel” were shown on the map for the Duchy of Jülich and Berg for the current urban area of ​​Moers.

Due to its proximity to Moers in the Middle Ages and at the beginning of the modern era, the area around Vennikel was oriented towards both the County of Moers and the Amt Linn, which belonged to the Archdiocese of Cologne. The development was somewhat different for the western and eastern areas. In the south-eastern areas the influence of the Catholic Church was stronger than in the north-western areas, which were more influenced by the religious conditions of the county of Moers. Accordingly, even after the Reformation, predominantly Catholics lived in the area of ​​Vennikel, who were religiously cared for by the Catholic parish of Bockum, while predominantly Protestants lived northwest of the center of Vennikel, as in the other Moers areas the residents belonged to the Reformed faith. As early as 1826 there was evidence of a Protestant elementary school in Vennikel, which was listed under the Parish of Capellen.

Until the beginning of the French period in 1794, Vennikel belonged to the Uerdingen office . From 1800 Vennikel was under the Mairie Bockum in the canton of Uerdingen and Arrondissement de Crévelt . Also from 1816 under Prussian sovereignty, the Honschaft Vennikel belonged to the mayor's office in Bockum, Krefeld district. In 1825, a hamlet called Vennikel "next to Haus Traar in the Krefeld district" is listed in an official note. In a description from 1836, the area of ​​Vennikel still belonged to the rural Sammtgemeinde Bockum. In this community, in addition to Bockum, the honors Verberg , Oppum and Rath with Vennikel were combined. The Traar manor and the village of Lüth still belonged to the Vennikel honors . The community was in the Krefeld district. In 1834, 473 people lived in 77 residential buildings in this part of Vennikel. In Lüth there were 184 people in 36 houses and 14 people lived in the manor. With the exception of six people in Vennikel and 147 in Lüth, who belonged to the Evangelical Church in Krefeld, all the other people were Catholics. The latter belonged to the Catholic community of Bockum.

In the description of 1836, in addition to the above area of ​​Vennikel, which belonged to the collective municipality of Bockum, a smaller area of ​​Vennikel together with Tirgrathsfeld was specified for the collective municipality of Kapellen. In this part of Vennikel, 231 people lived in 29 residential buildings, of whom 207 were Catholics. The comparable data for Tirgrathsfeld is 7 buildings with 47 people, all of whom were Catholic.

In 1837 the part of the municipality of Vennikel, which belonged to the Bockum municipality, was merged with the municipality of Taar to form the municipality of Rath-Vennikel. From 1886 this parish was renamed Nur Traar. The two parish areas were separated again because in 1901 Traar was an independent parish and Vennikel belonged to the parish of Kapellen as a peasantry. In addition to Vennikel with 219 people, the following areas belonged to the municipality of Kapellen at this time: Achterathsheide with 74 people, Franzenhütte with 44 people, Tirgrathsfeld with 46 people and Viertelsheide with 116 people.

During the municipal reorganization of North Rhine-Westphalia on January 1, 1975, the previous municipality of Kapellen was incorporated into Moers. The previous local area Vennikel with Tirgrathsfeld, which was located in the south, was divided. The Tirgrathsfeld and Viertelsheide areas remained with Kapellen and were incorporated into Moers as the Kapellen-Vennikel residential area , while the north-western part of Franzenhütte now belonged to the Kapellen-Achterathfeld residential area . The southern main area of ​​Vennikel with 306 inhabitants, who at that time lived on an area of ​​1.57 km 2 , was, however, separated and outsourced to Krefeld.

Remarks

  1. Currently, Kaldenhauser Strasse is the border between the cities of Krefeld and Moers. The urban core of Vennikel is bounded by this street, which runs directly south of the built-up center from west to east. To the south of the road are areas that formerly belonged to Vennikel. The Viertelsheide area , which was already part of the village of Kapellen in an annex to the official gazette of the Düsseldorf administrative region in 1850, is currently still part of the Kapellen-Vennikel residential area. In the same gazette, the municipality "Traar-Vennikel" was also listed. (Evidence: Official Gazette of 1850, Annex P. [825] XXVI + [828] XXIX)
