Location of Dillstein in Lindlar

Dillstein was an industrial town and residential area of the municipality of Lindlar in the Oberbergisches Kreis in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Location and description

The place of residence was near Felsenthal in Leppetal , in the east of Lindlar near Landesstraße 303, which is also the border to the city of Gummersbach and, in its further course, the municipality border to Engelskirchen . Neighboring towns are Kaiserau and Neuremscheid .

history

The place arose in the 19th century as a puddling plant on the Leppe, which was owned by Osberghausen & Cie in 1852 . Six workers there produced puddle steel using two ovens.

From the end of the 19th century, large-scale quarries were built in the vicinity of the place, which permanently changed the topography of the Leppetal near Dillstein.

On the map of the deposits of usable minerals in the area around Bensberg and Ründeroth from 1882, the place is shown as Dillenstein / Hövers & Osberghaus Hammer . From the Prussian new admission of 1894/96, the place is regularly on the measurement table as Dillst. , later listed as Dillstein .

The Puddlingwerk Dillstein 1871 lists the municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province with one house and two residents. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, a house with 17 residents is given for Dillstein . In 1895 the place had two houses with 15 inhabitants and belonged denominationally to the Protestant parish Hülsenbusch and the Catholic parish Frielingsdorf , in 1905 two houses and seven inhabitants are given.

The place fell in a desolate way in 1948, and the plant's elongated reservoir existed until the late 1970s. Only the rest of the pond system and the hip wall of the plant, as well as a few foundation walls, can be found in the area today.
