history

A court hall near Bechen was first mentioned in 1443 as zo dem Sale , in 1470 as Saell . The basic word in the place name belongs either to ahd. Sal , as. Seli or to ahd. Seilda , mhd. Selde . Both roots have the meaning " apartment" , " house ".

The place was on the Heerweg Köln – Wipperfürth – Soest , an important medieval old long-distance road from Cologne via Wipperfürth to Soest . The route of the old Höhenstraße is still used today from the federal highway 506 , apart from small deviations , but at Altensaal it ran up to Schnappe on today's street of the same name Altensaal and the subsequent field / forest path.

Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as a hall . It shows that at that time Altensaal was part of the Bechen family in the parish of Bechen in the district court of Kürten.

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the Steinbach office was dissolved and the place was politically assigned to the municipality of Bechen in the Mairie Kürten in the canton of Wipperfürth in the Elberfeld arrondissement . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Kürten in the Wipperfürth district .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 as the Old Hall and on the Prussian first recording from 1840 as the Altensaal . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, it is regularly listed on measuring table sheets as an old people's hall .

The place, categorized as a courtyard in 1845 according to the overview of the government district of Cologne , had two houses at that time. At that time, 22 inhabitants lived in the place called Altensaal, all of them of Catholic faith. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province show Altensaal 1871 with two houses and 13 inhabitants. In the parish dictionary for the Rhineland province of 1888, three houses with 18 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the place had two houses and 15 residents. In 1905 the place had three houses and 13 inhabitants and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish of Bechen.

In 1927 the mayor's office in Kürten was transferred to the office of Kürten. In the Weimar Republic in 1929 the offices of Kürten were merged with the municipalities of Kürten and Bechen and Olpe with the municipalities of Olpe and Wipperfeld to form the office of Kürten. The Wipperfürth district became part of the Rheinisch-Bergisch district on October 1, 1932, with its seat in Bergisch Gladbach .

In 1975 the current municipality of Kürten was established on the basis of the  Cologne Act , to which, in addition to the offices of Kürten, Bechen and Olpe, a sub-area of ​​the city of Bensberg with Dürscheid and the surrounding areas was added.
