What makes a village? How is a village defined?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is ultimately a collection of houses that are more or less close together and thus form a village. In the early days, a village was often protected by impenetrable hedges, gates or later walls, but these protective structures are generally no longer present today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is also the case in Dietkirchen. The protective structures of the early village of Dietkirchen have long since disappeared. None of the first houses are still standing today, although there are still some older houses, some of which date back to the 16th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, some of the houses that characterized the village were demolished, especially in the 1950s and 1960s. The reason for demolition was often dilapidation or road obstruction. Today we know that it would probably have been better to renovate these houses and thereby preserve the original village character and thus the historic village image. After all, it is the houses in particular that reflect the soul of a village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This page is an attempt to preserve some of the old houses for posterity through old pictures and their current appearance. Wherever it has been possible to obtain information about the houses, this has also been assigned to the respective houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The creator of this website would be pleased to receive even more old pictures from the population, which could then also be added to this page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
