history

In contrast to the villages further east of Mülhausen and Oedt , which only became part of the municipality of Grefrath after the municipal reorganization in 1970, Vinkrath has been a homage within the so-called glory of Grefrath since the Middle Ages , so the history of Vinkrath essentially corresponds to that History of Grefrath.

Vinkrath from the Middle Ages to the French Revolution

At the beginning of the 13th century the area of Herrlichkeit Grefrath was part of the County of Krickenbeck and was inherited by Count Adolf I. von der Mark , a son of the Alveradis von Krickenbeck . In 1243 Adolf I sold the Krickenbeck land to Count Otto II von Geldern . The small county of Krickenbeck was transformed into an administrative district of the county of Geldern , the so-called Amt Krickenbeck . The county of Geldern was upgraded to the Duchy of Geldern in 1339 and came under the rule of various European powers in the following centuries .

In 1543 the Duchy of Geldern finally lost its independence and first became part of the Burgundian Netherlands , then from 1555 of the Spanish Netherlands . In 1581 the northern part of the Duchy of Geldern became a part of the then newly founded Dutch Republic as the province of Gelderland , the southern part of the duchy, the so-called Geldrische Oberquartier including the office of Krickenbeck with Grefrath and Vinkrath, remained under Spanish rule after 1581 .

After the War of the Spanish Succession , in the Peace of Utrecht in 1713, the Geldrische Oberquartier was divided among the victorious powers of that conflict. The northern part of the upper quarter, including the Krickenbeck office with Grefrath and Vinkrath, fell to Prussia . Vinkrath received its first school in 1732 under the Prussian administration.

Vinkrath during the French period at the beginning of the 19th century .

Vinkrath since the French Revolution until the end of the 19th century

In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the areas on the left bank of the Rhine (today's Germany), including Prussian Obergeldern with Vinkrath. Until then, Vinkrath had a certain amount of communal independence, albeit to a modest extent. Under the French administration, however, there was a comprehensive regional reform in 1798, with Vinkrath being incorporated into the mayor's office ("Mairie") Grefrath , which was newly created by the French . The modest communal self-government of the Vinkrath community came to an end. As part of Mairie Grefrath , Vinkrath now belonged to the canton of Wankum , a judicial district of the Arrondissement of Kleve in the Rur department .

After the end of the Napoleonic Wars , Grefrath and Vinkrath came back to Prussia in 1815, unlike in 1713, when only part of the Geldrisches Oberquartier was involved, this time the entire Rhineland became Prussian. Under Prussian rule, the middle administrative levels from the French era were redesigned again, with French cantons , arrondissements and departments becoming Prussian districts , administrative districts and provinces , but at the municipal level, the Prussian state essentially left it with the administrative structures introduced by France, the Mairie Grefrath was simply renamed the mayor's office and the former Vinkrath Honnschaft as somehow still an independent administrative unit was not restored even under Prussian administration. From 1816 belonged mayoralty Grefrath with Vinkrath the circle Kempen in the administrative district of Kleve of the Prussian Province of Jülich-Cleves-Berg . Since 1822, the Kempen district with Grefrath and Vinkrath was part of the Düsseldorf administrative district of the Prussian Rhine Province . In 1830 Vinkrath had about 600 inhabitants. In 1849 the St. Laurentius Schützengesellschaft was established in Vinkrath . As a Prussian village, Vinkrath automatically belonged to the German Empire founded in 1871 .

Vinkrath since 1900

In view of the rapidly growing population at that time, the independent Catholic parish St. Josef was founded in Vinkrath in 1903 , and the parish church of the same name was also completed. In 1922 the drummer corps "Unity" Vinkrath 1922 eV was formed , in 1924 the local soccer club SuS (game and sport) Vinkrath 1924 eV was founded, and the following year the local men's choir MGV Vinkrath 1925 was founded . Since 1929 Grefrath and Vinkrath belonged to the district of Kempen-Krefeld , which was created through expansion of the district of Kempen, the seat of the district administration was still in Kempen. After the Second World War , Vinkrath became part of the British occupation zone in 1945 , and since 1946 it has belonged to the then newly founded German state of North Rhine-Westphalia , one of those states that replaced the state of Prussia , which was dissolved by the Control Council Act No. 46 of the Allied Control Council of 1947 .

In 1970, the municipality of Grefrath was expanded to include the districts of Oedt and Mülhausen from the previously independent neighboring municipality of Oedt, and since then Vinkrath has been one of four official districts of the municipality of Grefrath. On January 1, 1975, the Kempen-Krefeld district was transformed into the Viersen district , to which the Grefrath community with Vinkrath, Oedt and Mülhausen has belonged since then. The Catholic parish of St. Josef Vinkrath was dissolved on January 1, 2013 and incorporated into the newly founded parish of St. Benedikt, which now (2013) includes all of the former Catholic parishes in the Grefrath parish.
