Remarks
  1. ↑ At the beginning of the 19th century, by far the largest Leichlingen settlement center was in the Mittelstrasse / In der Meffert area . Today's Leichlingen core city to the west, south and east of the Marly-le-Roi Bridge was unpopulated at the time, apart from a few residential areas. It was not until the middle of the 19th century that the town center shifted to the area of ​​the Marly-le-Roi Bridge, which is a successor to the historic Leichlinger Wupperbrücke and where the Brücke residential area was formed.
