history

Bar was first mentioned in 1327 as de bar , in 1457 as to the bar . The name probably goes back to a roadblock or barrier. Since the Middle Ages, a fruit mill , a fulling mill and a trowel mill , as well as grinding bowls have been handed down in the village . From 1662 until the end of the 19th century there was a stern school in Beam .

The map Topographia Ducatus Montani from 1715 shows two court estates, each with two courtyards and a mill under the name Balcken . In the 18th century, the place belonged to the parish of Leichlingen in the Bergisches Amt Miselohe . The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and the Prussian first survey from 1844 show the place as a bar .

In 1815/16 the place had 154 inhabitants. In 1832, Balken belonged to the mayor's office in Leichlingen . The place, categorized as a village according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had 23 houses, two factories or mills and 32 agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 152 residents lived in the village, 13 of them Catholic and 139 Protestant.
