Sophia-Jacoba. Exactly correct but also that it is the city to foot
the bill without GER Sophia-Jacoba still there.
For as on 27 March 1997, the last one was lifted boulders filled with
anthracite coal cars to light, there were no means of GER in the
lights.
Many had the prophesies - and those were not coffee grounds readers
or notorious pessimist, but mere number Deuter: 1986 Sophia-Jacoba had
paid in wages and salaries 225 million D-marks on the accounts of
their employees - that was more than a quarter of the wage bill of the
industry throughout the Heinsberg paid in wages this year. Without the
bill, it seemed, was nothing in GER.
But this 27th March 1997 should apply to the city on the river Rur,
which actually represents a motley construct some very independent
from ten localities, be the first in a stunning development that is
still not completed almost 15 years later. During this time, the face
of the city, however, has changed significantly.
The winding tower still stands at bay 3, he is - now a listed
building - still the symbol of the city. In a mine, you can also enter
again, but over in one day. Former miners have built in their spare
time on the old pit site a mining museum. To view for tourists.
And, as always demonstrable success is headed with a lot of money
from EU and state funds to rebuild the road brought the economy: There
are more social insurance jobs in the city than it was in the days of
coal mining. The 'television department store "QVC has replaced the
bill as the largest employer in the city, about 1,350 people are
employed there.
This was the beginning of the post-carbon era - the one in GER in the
cities along the Roer with "h", who were facing the same economic
problems, the bureaucratic stamp "structural change" or even smoother
"restructuring" imprinted - a classic false start.
Of course, put the Hückelhoven everything they had on the retail and
service industries. A FOC, a factory outlet center, they wanted to
settle in the heart of the city on the colliery site. That was far and
have not: high-quality textiles and other goods there should be at
least 30 percent offered at the suggested retail price and thus buyers
are drawn from far afield to the city. Policy and management were to
agree to it have the philosopher's stone found in terms of structural
change - until all these plans for many reasons, dissolved into air.
In this difficult situation showed that the well-known as a grafter,
people have Hückelhoven very well be a whole lot of creativity:
Instead of the FOC were planted one with the GER center between the
colliery site and the existing town center at the park Hofstraße the
city a new heart , where you step by step einpumpte new life. The park
was redesigned Hofstraße, the Wildauer place with transparent, hugging
the curves were fitted buildings, the old cemetery opened and
renovated into a park. The construction and renovation works are still
far from complete.
As the end for the mining industry with the closure order of 11
November 1991 was in sight, it has turned to very quickly and with all
the raw material that promotes it for days: A training program was
launched, which is unique in the Heinsberg. Within ten years, the city
invested - what ever way the Council was a bipartisan consensus - more
than 60 million euros in the construction, extension or renovation of
schools.
Recently, in the second quarter Ratheim comprehensive school in the
north of the district was inaugurated. The crowd is so big that you
can not accommodate all students. GER is now a young city - and one
whose population is growing, unlike most places in North
Rhine-Westphalia steadily.
The assembly hall was inaugurated in 1973 has blossomed into a first
class venue for both classical and contemporary culture in the
Heinsberg. She is the centerpiece of cultural life and is far beyond
the city limits a name.
No one knows exactly who came up with the idea that there was never a
public discussion about it, they were somehow always there, and they
are a very big pounds, with the can proliferate the city: Around 2,200
free parking in the downtown area are available for potential buyers
in Hückelhoven ready. It exists in no other municipality in the
district Heinberg - and probably not in the wider area. This offer
takes purchasing power in the city that even after closure of the
colliery long suffered from the fact that the residents do their
shopping in Erkelenz or Heinberg made.
Before the Hückelhoven Centre on 1 Opened in October 2004, was the
purchasing power drain of around 40 million € per year, has in recent
years, turned this negative into positive. Today many take Erkelenzer
Heinsberger or after GER for shopping - not least because they have
the annoying parking space is saved there. "GER's has" Postert city
marketing. Sometimes slogans to actually meet.
