history

The brook name Naaf , in the 13th century as de Nafe , in 1555 as the Nave , is a river name word of Indo-European origin, the root of which cannot be traced in German . The meaning seems to be neutral flow and is related to the Greek nao (= flow ), Latin nato (= swimme ) , navis (= ship ).

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the residential area had a courtyard as early as 1715, which is labeled as Bic Naf . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court Bixnaf on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 . It shows that the place was part of the Honschaft Oderscheid in the parish of Overath at that time .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1825 as Bics-Naaf . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area under the name Bixnaf . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, the place is regularly recorded as Bixnaaf on measuring table sheets .

In 1822, 30 people lived in the place categorized as farm and mill , which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the Overath mayor's office in the Mülheim am Rhein district and was called Bixnofen at that time . Obviously Bixnaafermühle was part of the place at that time. For the year 1830, 36 inhabitants are given for the place called Hof mit Mühle and still called Bixnofen , together with Bixnaafermühle. In 1845, according to the survey of the government district of Cologne, the place called Bixnaf and categorized as Hof und Mühle had eight residential buildings with 36 inhabitants, all of them Catholic faith, together with Bixnaafermühle. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province lists Bixnaaf in 1871 alone with nine houses and 44 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, nine houses with 38 inhabitants are given for Bixnaaf. In 1895 the place had nine houses with 45 inhabitants and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish of Marialinden, in 1905 ten houses and 42 inhabitants are given.
