Wickrathberg is a borough of the German city Mönchengladbach, located in the west of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The village belonged to the manor of Wickrath in the Middle Ages and early modern times.

In the following years, the Jewish citizens were arrested and deported to concentration camps.

[2] In 1945, after the end of the Second World War, the American army built a large temporary prisoner of war camp in the triangle between Güdderath, Hochneukirch and Wickrathberg, one of the so-called "Rheinwiesenlager".

It held between 120,000 and 150,000 German prisoners of war from April to September 1945 in the open air.
