Dorfhonschaft (Wermelskirchen)
The Wermelskirchener Dorfhonschaft was in the Middle Ages and the modern era a Honschaft in parish Wermelskirchen in Bergisch Office Bornefeld (from 1555 Office Bornefeld-Hückeswagen ). It was one of three honors in the parish and was located in the Bornefeld-Hückeswagen judicial district . It got its name because the central village of Wermelskirchen in the parish was in its area.
The honor survived the communal reorganization in the Grand Duchy of Berg under French administration from 1806. After the French withdrew from the Rhine Confederation in 1813 after the defeat in the Battle of Leipzig , the honor was assigned to the mayor's office of Wermelskirchen in the Lennep district under Prussia in 1815 .
