Location of Winkeln in Mönchengladbach

Angles is a village in rural exterior of the independent city Mönchengladbach in the west of the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia . Within Mönchengladbach, Winkeln has belonged to the northern district since 2009 ( until 2009: Hardt district ) and is located here in the east of the statistical district of Hardt- Mitte, directly on the district boundary to Mönchengladbach-Venn, which runs along the A 61 . Winkelen has also been handed down as an earlier name for the village . In postal terms, in contrast to the neighboring town of Rasseln , Winkeln is not included in the Hardt-Mitte district, but in Venn, and therefore has the postcode 41068.

history

Angles from the High Middle Ages to the French Revolution in 1789

The history of angles goes back at least to the High Middle Ages . The previously oldest known written record Winkelns comes from a document of the Abbey Gladbach from the year 1247, when a certain Anselm of angles from the Abbey with a "courtyard at an angle" invested was. Gladbach Abbey was the landlord of a number of lands, including the area of ​​Winkeln. The territorial rule at that time, however, was still with the Counts of Kessel . After the last Kessel Count Walram von Kessel died childless in 1307 , his cousin , Duke Gerhard V. von Jülich , inherited his remaining lands, including the Grevenbroich office , to which Winkeln also belonged. So the village became part of the Duchy of Jülich . Here, angles counted to the judicial district of Obergeburth of the Grevenbroich Unteramt Gladbach . Winkeln was a sonship and therefore had a certain communal independence on a small scale . Up until the 1790s, very little changed in the feudal rulership and its communal administrative structures.

Angles to the French time

The villages " Winkelen " and Venn during the French period , around 1805.

The changes in the overall political situation brought about by the revolution of 1789 led in 1794 to the occupation of the area on the left bank of the Rhine (today's Germany) by French revolutionary troops . In the period that followed, the French administration reformed the organization of the communal administrations in the occupied territories several times in order to adapt it to the communal administrative structures in France , as the area was to be incorporated into the French state . In 1798, the old monies were abolished as independent administrative units and the administrative levels above the monies were reorganized. Winkeln was incorporated into the Obergeburth community association , which belonged to the canton of Neersen . The canton of Neersen was also newly established by the French . From 1800 Obergeburth received the status of a mayor (" Mairie ").

In 1801, in the Treaty of Lunéville, the last Roman-German Emperor , Franz II (of Habsburg-Lothringen ) , ceded the areas on the left bank of the Rhine to France under international law , so Winkeln officially became a French village for the next few years. The Winkelner residents were now French citizens and were claimed as such by the French state. B. also drafted into the French military and had to take part in Napoléon's campaigns on the French side .

Winkel after 1815

After the area fell to the then victorious Prussia following Napoléon's defeat in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 , the French administrative structures were partially taken over by the new sovereigns. Even under Prussian rule, angles remained a district of the Obergeburth mayor's office. From 1816 the canton of Neersen was dissolved by the Prussian administration and replaced by the district of Gladbach . The former monies as somehow independent administrative units were not restored even under the Prussian authorities.

In 1835, as part of a further municipal reform, the previous mayor's office of Obergeburth was incorporated into the city of Gladbach, but at the same time the municipality of Hardt , which had belonged to the Gladbach mayor's office as an exclave since 1800 , was spun off from Gladbach again and became an independent mayor's office (within the District of Gladbach). The village of Winkeln was reshuffled on this occasion: Winkeln did not take part in the incorporation of Obergeburth into Gladbach and was instead incorporated into the Hardt mayor's office, which was newly founded in 1835.

It was not until 94 years later, in 1929, that the Mayor's Office Hardt , which had meanwhile been renamed " Amt Hardt ", was finally incorporated into the - now independent - city of Mönchengladbach as part of a renewed regional reform of the Prussian administration , so that Winkeln finally became a district of Mönchengladbach , and it has remained until today. Within Mönchengladbach, for decades, Winkeln was part of the official “ Hardt Mitte ” district within the Hardt district . In 2009, the Hardt district was merged with the previous Stadtmitte district to form the new Mönchengladbach Nord district , to which Winkeln now belongs.

Attractions

Village cross in the center of Winkeln.
  • Dorfkreuz Winkeln: In 1964, a new village cross was erected in Winkeln because the old village cross from 1869 had become an obstacle when the local thoroughfare was being expanded. The foundation stone certificate from 1964 said: “This cross was erected on this spot in May 1964 due to the honorable attitude and great unity of the Winkelner residents in honor of the Most High. (...) Thanks to the favor and generosity of Mrs. Magdalene Sauerland-Rauen from Anrath , Holterhöfe , a much larger and more beautiful area was soon available to the Venner parish for the construction of a new cross. “ The body of the cross , which had been carved by a Miss Kamp from Kevelaer , was donated by a Mr. Wilhelm Schippers . On May 24, 1964, Trinity Day of that year, the cross was erected by the ( Catholic ) Venner pastor Dr. Consecrated to Wilhelm Müller .
Later a small column was erected next to the cross, on which a memorial plaque is installed, which commemorates the Winkelner inhabitants who perished in World War II . In 2011 the village cross was restored.
