history

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Portz , proves that the residential area had two farmsteads as early as 1715, which are labeled as Bielstein . From the chart of the Duchy of Berg from 1789 by Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking it emerges that the place was part of the parish Immekeppel in the upper court of Bensberg of the Bergisch office Porz at that time .

The place is on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817 as Unt. Bilstein recorded. The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area unlabeled. From the Prussian new admission of 1892, the place is regularly recorded as Bilstein on measuring table sheets .

After the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement, the place belonged to the parish Immekeppel of the mayor's office of Bensberg in the Mülheim am Rhein district . The place, which was categorized as a farm estate in 1845 according to the overview of the government district of Cologne , had two residential buildings with 13 inhabitants, all of them Catholic denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine province are listed by Bilstein in 1871 with two houses and 13 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, two residential buildings with eleven inhabitants are given for Bilstein . In 1895 the place had two houses with eleven inhabitants and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish Immekeppel, in 1905 two houses and 13 inhabitants are given.

On the basis of Section 10 of the Cologne Act , several Bensberg outlying areas were transferred to the Overath community in 1975, including Bilstein.

For a long time Bilstein was called Unterbilstein to distinguish it from the neighboring Lindlar Oberbilstein . In the course of time the place name lost its defining word sub-name and appears in maps and documents only as Bilstein. In the middle of the 20th century, a new settlement was founded west of Bilstein, which was now called Unterbilstein. When we speak of Unterbilstein in older historical sources, we usually mean today's Bilstein, not the new foundation.
