history

Origin of the place name

Old names of Colnrade are 1348 Coldenrhade, 1354 Rohde, around 1360 Koldenrode, 1362 Coldenrode, around 1370 Kaldenrade, 1371 Kolenrode, 1530 Koldenrade and 1575 Collenrahde. The first part of the name “Colnrade” is partly associated with “cold”, but partly also with “Collen / Gollen”, an old name for the Hunte. Possibly this name is an old root word "koll / call" for water, then Colnrade means something like "settlement on the water". Or, according to Udolph, the decisive factor : location north of some elevations, therefore in the shade when the sun is low, lying “in the cold”. Thus "clearing in a sunny location".
