Location of Wanlo in the West district of Mönchengladbach

Wanlo is the southernmost district of Mönchengladbach and belongs to the Mönchengladbach West district , until October 22, 2009, Wickrath district . It is located southwest of the Mönchengladbach-Wanlo motorway triangle , where the federal motorways 46 and 61 intersect. Thus, Wanlo is separated from the rest of the city by the A 46. Wickrathberg is north of the motorway . In the east lies the Jüchen district of Hochneukirch and in the south the Erkelenz villages Keyenberg , Kuckum and Borschemich. Since the latter may give way to the Garzweiler opencast mine , Wanlo will be on the edge of the opencast mine. The decision has been pending since 2018 and is being examined by the Coal Commission.

The name Wanlo results from the amalgamation of the syllables Wan and lo . Wan means tub, trough or body of water and stands for the Niers , which rises in the nearby Kuckum and flows through the Wanlo. Lo or Loh means light forest .

Memorial stone at the Jewish cemetery in Wanlo

• Kappelshof, a former knight's seat in the north of Wanlo
• Wildenrath manor, on the road to Kuckum; In 1251 the Duke of Jülich acquired the Dyck manor. At the end of the 14th century, the dukes leased it to the noblemen of Wildenrath, who gave the estate their name. The Jülich lion can therefore still be found in the coat of arms. Today the estate is used as a restaurant and golf course.
• The Wanloer Heiligenhäuschen . The chapel (Josefskapelle) on Kuckumerstraße is a small, rectangular building made of bricks with a gable roof. In the front beam, above the entrance, is carved:

IHS. ANNO 1667. JUNE 2nd MRA. On the inner bar you can read: THIS H. HOUSE BERTRAM HEINRICHS AND TRINGEN CORNERS BUILT TO THE HONOR OF GOD . In the second half of 2012 this chapel was completely renovated by the members of the "Pensioner-Arbeits-Trupp-Wanlo" on a voluntary basis.

• Jewish cemetery . Today only a memorial stone reminds of the cemetery.

It was located on the field path between Stahlenend and Hochneukircher Weg, had a size of 721 square meters and was leveled after the Second World War .

Text of the plaque (in the original only capital letters):

In eternal memory / A small number / Jewish citizens have lived in Wanlo since the 17th century. / Their dead were buried in this cemetery. / In the turmoil of World War II, the cemetery / was alienated and the tombstones destroyed. / With the deportation of the last Jewish citizen / in 1942 to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, / where she perished, the story of the Jews in Wanlo ended. / In the eternal memory of the dead and of the / Jewish community that once existed in Wanlo.
