The Engelbleck weavers' settlement was built and expanded in three construction phases in 1927/29 by the city of Mönchengladbach. In the Neuwerk district, 110 residential units were created in the form of free-standing two-story semi - detached houses . Weberstraße, Spinnerstraße, Rauherstraße, Eupener Straße and Straße Am Tannenbaum belong to the listed settlement.

The "Webersiedlung" Engelbleck is a significant example of public housing construction, which was viewed as an essential social task, during the Weimar Republic . As the only workers' settlement in the urban area of ​​Mönchengladbach that has been handed down almost unchanged and closed , the Engelbleck settlement has particular documentary significance. There are therefore both socio-historical, architectural-historical and urban planning reasons in favor of preservation.
