War memorial

Berghausen (formerly Berghusen ) was one of the last five honors that made up the parish Oberpleis in the Bergisch Amt Blankenberg from 1555 at the latest until the dissolution of the Duchy of Berg in 1806. The Berghausen honors also included the towns of Talhausen and Nonnenberg. At the end of 1808 the former Honschaft was transferred to a non-independent municipality or a district of the Mairie Oberpleis (from 1813 "Mayor of Oberpleis"), which administratively belonged to the canton of Hennef in the Grand Duchy of Berg .

In Prussian times (from 1815) Berghausen remained as a cadastral or tax municipality part of the mayor's office in Oberpleis and was assigned to the Siegburg district (from 1825 “Siegkreis”). The community was incorporated into the newly formed and politically independent community of Oberpleis in 1845/46. Until 1969 Berghausen remained a part of the municipality of Oberpleis . The district Berghausen within the boundaries of the municipality that was dissolved in the middle of the 19th century still exists today.

Attractions

As a monument under preservation are two roadside crosses . The older of the two (corner Goldbergweg / Berghausener Strasse) is a mission cross from 1734 and was renewed in 1983. It is made of oak , contains a depiction of the Passion and stands in a round arch niche made of concrete, which is used for weather protection and was created during the renovation. It is considered to be one of the oldest surviving wooden crosses in the region. The younger cross (Bitzerweg 19), a carved wooden cross with a protective roof, dates back to 1828 and also shows symbols for the passion of Christ.

A war memorial in Berghausen commemorates the victims of the two world wars , which was erected in a reduced form after the First World War.
