High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Monchengladbach is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located west of the Rhine half way between Dusseldorf and the 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 Bergisch Gladbach) it took the name Munchen-Gladbach in 1888. This spelling could mislead people to think that Gladbach was a borough of Munich (Munchen in German), and consequently the name was changed to Monchen Gladbach in 1950 and Monchengladbach in 1960. The origin of the town was an 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. The town of Rheydt is located nearby and is incorporated into Monchengladbach today.
