Location of Am Adler in Leichlingen (Rhineland)

Am Adler , also known as the Schwarzer Adler or Adler in the 19th century , is a location in the town of Leichlingen (Rhineland) in the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis that emerged from a residential area .

Location and description

Am Adler is on the L288 state road on the western edge of Leichlingen on the city limits of Langenfeld (Rhineland) . A side street of the L288 is named after the location that was also in this intersection area. The name Am Adler, which was still an independent village in the first half of the 20th century, can only be found as a street name; the place of origin has opened up to the closed residential and commercial development. The entire area, which is now closed, is now named after the neighboring Windgesheide residential area .

To the west of Am Adler, in the urban area of ​​Langenfeld, were the Leichlinger Sandberge , which were largely removed for sand mining. The Langenfeld motorway junction is also there . Stockberg is directly adjacent to the north , so that historical maps often do not distinguish between the two residential areas. Other neighboring places, mostly those in the western suburbs of Leichlingen, are Kellerhansberg , Hüttchen , Merlenforst , Unterschmitte , Roßlenbruch , Bockstiege and Bahnhof . Ziegwebersberg and Staderhof have retained their independent location.

history

Am Adler was built in the 18th century and was located on Sandstrasse , an old road from Aufderhöhe to Opladen and today's state road L288. The name comes from a pub Zum Schwarzen Adler , where carters could stop on the Sandstrasse. The catering business was closed in 1922. The Topographic the Rhineland from 1824 shows the location as Stockberg and the Prussian Uraufnahme of 1844 listed him as Schwarzer Adler , the Leichlinger municipality map of 1830 as Black Eagle .

In 1832, Am Adler belonged to the mayor's office of Leichlingen under the name Adler . The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had two residential buildings and two agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 16 residents lived in the village, three of them Catholic and 13 Protestant. In 1867 the Gruiten – Cologne – Mülheim railway line was opened east of Stockberg .

In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland in 1885 six houses with 35 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the place had a house with three residents, in 1905 one house and three residents. From the middle of the 20th century, the gaps in the residential and commercial development with the neighboring residential areas were closed and Am Adler became part of the western suburb of Leichlingen.
