Delborn

Today the area of ​​the golf course Heckenhof is still referred to as Delborn, although there is no longer any reference to this farm (map from 1818).

Delborn is an extinct (perished) homestead in the North Rhine-Westphalian community of Eitorf ( Rhein-Sieg district ), between Wassack and Bach . It had 66 acres of farmland.

First mentions

A worked flint was found on the Dellborner Feld , a sign that people must have been in this area early on.

In 1472 the farm was first mentioned as Deilborne . The name indicates both an (existing) depression in the terrain and, as a Born, a well or a spring. A description from 1624 mentions a ring fence.

To the west of the land stood the Gilgenstock, the gallows . Around 1800 there was an oil mill on the Juckenbach a little to the south .

Merten Monastery

In 1733 the farm, which belonged to the Merten monastery , was leased to a Vincentino Patt. In 1754 the court came to Bartolomäus Feld. In 1791 the widow Agnes Bremeler was promised that after her death her son Peter Wilhelm Feld would be able to take over the farm, which then happened.

The south-facing slope below the former homestead still has some terraces today. On some maps it is noted that vines were grown on this slope. It is not certain whether the vineyard belonged to the monastery and was looked after by the Dellborner Hof.

War damage was reported around 1800, it was the time of Napoleon's military campaigns.

secularization

In 1803 the churches were expropriated of their secular property. Thus, the Delborn court also came first in state, then in private possession.

emigration

In 1852 Heinrich Joseph Naas emigrated from Delborn to America, followed in 1854 by Wilhelm Naas from Delborn. On March 14, 1861, the farmer Heinrich Naas from Delborn emigrated with his family and ran a farm in the USA . The barn from Hof ​​Delborn was removed and set up at the Heckerhof . The court was no longer mentioned in the registry office, so it was probably abandoned and later no longer inhabited. In 1885 Delborn was no longer mentioned in the register.

The ruins of the old homestead were still there in the 1950s. The remaining ruins were removed to cultivate the fields and meadows.

Street Dedication

Today a street called Zum Dellborn in the Schiefen district reminds of the homestead. It leads the walker to Happach .
