Buschhorn is a hamlet in the district Schildgen of Bergisch Gladbach .
history
The Buschhorn settlement emerged from an early medieval court establishment, which was mentioned in the 18th century as Boischorn in connection with a personal name. The original cadastre records the hamlet of Buschorn, which comprised nine farms in 1830, on Reutersweg (today's Voiswinkeler Straße) in the municipality of Unterodenthal. A larger number of Stone Age finds near Buschhorn suggest prehistoric and early historical settlement.
etymology
The basic word horn , as a description of the terrain, is derived from the Middle High German horn (= horn, protruding tip) and in Niederbergisch refers to a protruding forest tip or a pointed field.
Mining
The Eduard & Amalia mine was located in the vicinity of Buschhorn . There are only a few relics left. The sweeping heap of the machine shaft is located south of Buschhorn. In the adjoining valley is the so-called Green Pond . This is a ping from a former opencast mine that later ran full of water.
