history

Burghof was the farm yard of Großbernsau Castle . The numerous properties belonging to the von Bernsau family of knights were probably administered by the farm . In 1782, around 544 acres of forest and extensive hunting and fishing rights in the rivers Agger and Sülz belonged to the estate area .

Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Huf . From it it emerges that the place was part of the Honschaft Balken in the parish of Overath at that time . The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817 as Bughof . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area also under the name Bughof . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, the place is regularly recorded on measuring table sheets as Bughof and towards the end of the 20th century as Gut Burghof .

In 1822, 14 people lived in the village, which was categorized as a leasehold, and after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement, it belonged to the Overath mayor in the Mülheim am Rhein district . For the year 1830, 17 inhabitants are given for the place designated as a leasehold. The place, which was categorized as a manor in 1845 according to the overview of the government district of Cologne , had a residential building with 18 inhabitants at that time, all of them Catholic denominations. The municipal and Gutbezirksstatistik the Rhine Province leads courtyard 1,871 on a house and eleven residents. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, a house with ten inhabitants is given for Burghof . In 1895 the place had a house with eight inhabitants, in 1905 one house and 15 inhabitants are given.

From the beginning of the 1970s, the federal highway 4 was laid 100 meters north of the place . The manor was demolished in the 2000s and built over with an industrial area. Today only the street and commercial area name Burghof reminds of the residential area.
