Between 1933 and 1950, it was written <b>München Gladbach</b> (short: <b>M. Gladbach</b>), without a hyphen. This spelling was seen as potentially misleading, as it could imply that Gladbach was a borough of <a href="/wiki/Munich" title="Munich">Munich</a> (<i>München</i> in <a href="/wiki/German_language" title="German language">German</a>), so consequently the name was changed to Mönchen-Gladbach in 1950 (and subsequently Mönchengladbach in 1960) to avoid confusion. </p><p>The town was founded around <a href="/wiki/Gladbach_Abbey" title="Gladbach Abbey">Gladbach Abbey</a> in 974.

Craftsmen settled near the market. Gladbach received its <a href="/wiki/German_town_law" title="German town law">town charter</a> in 1364–1366. The "town" erected a town wall made of stone, which had to be maintained by the citizens.

In addition, a textile-oriented machine industry also developed. </p><p>After the Second World War, a major structural change began, reducing the importance of the textile industry and attracting new economic sectors. At present, only 7 percent of employees work in the once dominant textile and clothing industry (for example: <i>Van Laack</i> and <i>gardeur</i>). </p><p>As part of the successful diversification of the business location, local government and representatives founded the Mönchengladbach Business Development Corporation (WFMG) in 1997. WFMG and the University of Applied Sciences Niederrhein have developed a five-pillar model for the future orientation of the business location. Thereafter textile and fashion, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, logistics, the creative industry and the health sector are the leading sectors for the economic future of the city of Mönchengladbach. As part of an active cluster policy, the WFMG has partly initiated its own networks for these industries.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The most important employer in Mönchengladbach is the <a href="/wiki/Banco_Santander" title="Banco Santander">Santander Consumer Bank</a>, which has its headquarters at Aachener Straße in Mönchengladbach's city center. </p><p>The economic structure includes: <a href="/wiki/Machine_tool" title="Machine tool">tool</a> and <a href="/wiki/Spinning_(textiles)" title="Spinning (textiles)">spinning</a> machines (Dörries Scharmann, Monforts, Trützschler, Schlafhorst), automatic conveyor systems, signal and system technology (Scheidt & Bachmann), transformers (SMS Meer), cables (<a href="/wiki/Nexans" title="Nexans">Nexans</a> Germany formerly Kabelwerk Rheydt), printed matter and foodstuffs. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Chocolatier" title="Chocolatier">Chocolatier</a> Heinemann is known beyond the city limits for his cakes, pralines and baked goods, which he offers in cafés on site as well as in <a href="/wiki/D%C3%BCsseldorf" title="Düsseldorf">Düsseldorf</a> and <a href="/wiki/Munich" title="Munich">Munich</a>.
