history

Bech is a medieval settlement that has the original cadastre south of the Büchelterhof . There the connecting road from Bech to Herkenrath bears the name Weg von Hohnbach to Büchel and Bech in its historical course . In the Herkenrath church bank regulation of 1630, the court was listed under the name “das guit in der bech” . By 1905 the farm had developed into a small hamlet with seven buildings and 28 residents. The settlement name Bech is derived from the Germanic “bakja” or the Old High German “bah” and the Middle High German “bechel / bechelin” (= small stream). This refers to the Asselborner Bach , which has driven the Asselborn mill further north .

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Porz , proves that the residential area was categorized as a courtyard in 1715 and was named Bech . At that time, Bech belonged to the Herkenrath family .

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the Porz office was dissolved and Bech was politically assigned to Mairie Bensberg in the canton of Bensberg . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Bensberg in the Mülheim am Rhein district .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 without a name and on the Prussian first survey of 1840 as Bech . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, it is regularly recorded on measuring table sheets as Bech or without a name.

Due to the Cologne Act , the city of Bensberg was merged with Bergisch Gladbach to form the city of Bergisch Gladbach with effect from January 1, 1975. Bech also became part of Bergisch Gladbach.
