The villages of Großenbernberg and Kleinenbernberg belonged to the imperial rule of Gimborn-Neustadt until 1806 . After belonging to the Grand Duchy of Berg (1806-1813) and a provisional transitional administration , the region came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna . Under the Prussian administration, the two places first belonged to the Gimborn district (1816–1825) and then to the Gummersbach district in the Rhine Province . In 1843 the village of Großenbernberg had 136 inhabitants who lived in 28 houses, Kleinenbernberg had 119 inhabitants in 21 houses.

Attractions

Bernberg, Torley House, ornamental gable

Bernberg, Torley House, long side

House Torley is one of the oldest surviving houses in the region, dating back to 1592. It is of great importance due to its richly structured half-timbered ornamental gable.

Additions were made in 1665 (at that time the half-timbered house was owned by the then Gummersbach pastor Johann Bolenius), in 1700 (now owned by the eponymous Torley family, whose ancestor, a Swedish officer, settled in Oberbergischen during the Thirty Years' War ) and last in 1825.

The design ( transverse hall house in contrast to the Saxon - Westphalian longitudinal hall house that predominates in the NE of the district ) is based on Franconian tradition: the first floor was originally the large hall with fireplace; to the right one entered the room, to the left the stable. On the upper floor there were bedrooms and pantries; Food, animal feed and straw were hoarded in the attic. The associated barn was probably only built around 1880. A detached brick bakery ("Backes") that originally belonged to the property was destroyed by an aerial bomb in 1943 .
