Commemorative Events Scheduled for the 2025 Citizens' Bus Anniversary
In the picturesque town of Willich, nestled along the Lower Rhine, a unique journey awaits visitors and locals alike. The bus route, winding its way through the heart of the town, offers a glimpse into the area's rich history and stunning countryside.
As autumn arrives, the landscape transforms into a vibrant tapestry of green fields and impressive farms. Combine harvesters and other farming machines can be observed in action, their rhythmic movements a testament to the hard work that goes into farming. Later, rolled-up straw bales appear in the fields, a sign of the successful harvest season.
The journey to the Hardt, an ancient part of Willich settled during Carolingian times, is a mere 10-minute bus ride. Along the way, passengers are treated to breathtaking views of the farmland, where horses may be seen grazing on sunny days or standing in mud during bad weather.
The Hardt, once a rural administrative unit consisting of thirty farms, has a history that dates back to the 9th century. In October 1801, the four Honschafts of the village, including the Hardt, were merged into the Burgomastery of Willich. Today, the bus route stops at Jesuitershof, Huppertz, and the Hardt, providing easy access to this historic area.
For many passengers living in active farms and farm buildings along the route, the bus is an essential means of transport, making it possible for them to reach the village without a car. Our bus drivers play a vital role in connecting these rural communities with the town centre.
As you step off the bus at the Hardt, you're greeted by a sense of tranquillity and history. The area's past is palpable, a testament to the resilience and hard work of the local farming families whose names are recorded in the municipal or regional land register records from the early 19th century.
So, if you find yourself in Willich, take a moment to step off the beaten path and embark on this scenic bus journey. It's a journey that offers a glimpse into the town's past, a chance to appreciate its stunning countryside, and a reminder of the hard work and dedication that goes into farming.
