Puffendorf Station

Highlight • Historical Site

The history of Puffendorf and details about the listed church of St. Laurentius are explained here.
History
The first settlement probably took place in Roman times. This is supported by the location on an elevated site on an old Roman road which, coming from the northwest, led via Geilenkirchen to Aldenhoven.
In addition, a number of fragments of Roman roof tiles and bowls were found. Even hand axes from the Stone Age have been found here. Some of them are now in the Landesmuseum Bonn. The church of St. Laurentius, which was listed as a historical monument in 1991, is particularly worth seeing. The three-aisled, neo-Gothic church was built in 1888 after the previous church had become too dilapidated and too small. The three-story tower, however, dates back to 1777. St. Laurentius was badly damaged in World War II and could only be restored in 1953. The organ loft and the statues of saints are still preserved from the 19th century furnishings.

Baesweiler Cycle Route – Floverich Station

Highlight • Cycleway

Here you will find information about the Beeckfließ near the station and what it was used for in the past.
Beeckfliess
Depending on the direction of travel, you have just crossed the Beeckfließ on the circular route or you will cross it shortly. Since the Carl-Alexander colliery went into operation, the Beeckfließ has been used as a drainage ditch through which the pumped-out water was transported away. It flows through the outskirts of Beggendorf, passing through the towns of Floverich, Apweiler, Beeck, Leiffarth and Honsdorf and, after 13.3 km, flows into the Wurm below Honsdorf. Since the mine closed, the Beeckfließ has had no continuous water supply in its upper reaches from the mine site to the confluence with the Gereonsweiler Fließ. Later, most of the banks on the Beeckfließ were fortified and some areas were restored to their natural state. However, the flow is actually much older. Formerly known as "Busch-Sooth", it drained the Baesweiler Erbwald, the large forest area that stretched between Baesweiler, Neuweiler and Boscheln.
