Dieringhausen (in the local dialect Dierkesen ) is a district of Gummersbach in the Oberbergisches Kreis , administrative district of Cologne , North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).

geography

Dieringhausen extends from east to west on both sides of the Agger . In the 20th century, the place with Neudieringhausen expanded to a significant extent on the slopes to the left (south) of the Agger. The district is a good 6.5 kilometers from the city center.

history

Finds show that people lived in this area as early as the Stone Age . Roman pottery shards indicate early trade flows. Around the years 600 to 700, the first settlements emerged in what is today the Oberbergisches Land.

1483 is the year of the documented first mention of the place in the spelling Dyrynchuss .

The first Agger bridge made of quarry stone was built in 1830. The first post office was opened in the Schirp house in 1865 and relocated to the Lohmar house in 1885 . The foundation stone of the Mühlentaler spinning mill was laid in 1870. In 1887 there were 53 employees in the company, in 1914 there were 520. The company was given up in 1974. The first school in town was the Protestant school from 1882.

The Gummersbach-Dieringhausen station has been on the Aggertalbahn since 1887 , which forms part of the Volme-Agger-Bahn from Cologne to Hagen via Overath - Gummersbach-Dieringhausen - Gummersbach - Marienheide - Meinerzhagen - Bruges (Westphalia) . In Dieringhausen it branches off from the original Aggertalbahn, which was completed in 1903 to Olpe via Bergneustadt and Drolshagen . This section has not been used since 1997.

The first ("old") train station was built in 1887. It was later used as a freight yard. The station, which is still in use today, was not put into operation until 1920. The first locomotive shed was completed in 1902, and a turntable was added in 1906.

The former depot in Dieringhausen was dissolved by the Federal Railroad in 1982 and has housed the Dieringhausen Railway Museum since 1985 . In the past, the Gummersbach-Dieringhausen station was an important junction of various, today largely disused lines in the railway network in the Oberbergisches Land and not only the terminus of many journeys, but also an important through station for express trains, for example Cologne - Olpe or Hagen or trains from Wuppertal to to Waldbröl. Even today, the station is operationally the most important station along the Aggertalbahn, as many trains are parked and refueled there at night.

Evangelical Church Dieringhausen

Dieringhausen received its first Protestant church in 1890. The first Catholic church was built as an emergency church in 1898 and rebuilt in 1912 as a regular church. Today's church building was erected in the same place in 1971.

In 1893 a post office opened in the village. This branch existed until 2008. The Dampfziegelei Gbr. Funcke im Hohl was built in 1895. A new Protestant school was built in 1902 on the old sports field. The first Catholic school in the Agger area followed in 1911. The Meerhardtfels ruin observation tower was completed in 1908 on the Meerhardt. From 1913 to 1920 the "Schwindsuchttreppe", a steep staircase with 64 steps to climb the hill, was laid out. The staircase was restored in 2003.

Until 1969 Dieringhausen was politically assigned to the cities of Wiehl and Gummersbach . The border was formed by the Agger. Today Dieringhausen belongs completely to the city of Gummersbach.

The inauguration of the vocational school on Ernst-Zimmermann-Strasse took place on October 25, 1974. The Oberberg vocational college can still be found there today. The senior center of the Arbeiterwohlfahrt on the B 55 was opened in 1975.
