history

The Dreispringen settlement is not yet recorded in the original cadastre . As a result, it did not emerge until after 1828 in the middle of the 19th century through the emerging coal and steel industry .

According to the survey of the government district of Cöln , the place categorized as "farms" had three houses in 1845. At that time there were 17 residents, all of them Catholic. In 1905 Dreispringen already had eleven buildings and 57 residents. The name of the settlement Dreispringen literally means three springs . It is derived from the Old High German "springan" (= spring, spring, gush) or the Middle High German "sprinc" (= source). The headwaters at the top have three small watercourses that merge a little further east to form the Kotzbach .

Three sources gave it its name

There are several possible locations for the three springs from which Dreispringen owes its name. Possibly it is the springs that are halfway up the southeast slope of the Dreispringer Berg near Wolfsiefen . From every source there is a source depth. They run towards each other like a fork and unite about 50 meters before they reach the valley. This creates a small stream, which then flows into the Kotzbach.

Mining

The two large mines Grube Berzelius and Grube Apfel were located on the western slope of the ridge .
