Monchengladbach: Guide
Mönchengladbach is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located west of the Rhine half way between Düsseldorf and the Netherlands|Dutch border.
The original name of the city was Gladbach, which is even today often applied to the town. To distinguish the town from another town of the same name (the present German). So the name was changed to Mönchen Gladbach in 1950 and Mönchengladbach in 1960.
The origin of the town was an Gladbach Abbey|abbey founded in 974. It was named after the Gladbach, a narrow brook, that runs subterraneously today. The abbey and adjoining villages became a town in the 14th century. Nearby the town of Rheydt was located, which is today incorporated in Mönchengladbach.
Mönchengladbach is home of the football (soccer)|football German Football League Teams|club Borussia Mönchengladbach, Formula One race car drivers Nick Heidfeld and Heinz-Harald Frentzen, and the philosopher Hans Jonas was born there.
