history

Eichen was first mentioned in a document around 1470.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the residential area had a courtyard as early as 1715, which is labeled as Negen . At that time the place was part of the honor of saints in the parish of Overath.

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817 as oaks . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area under the name Veichen . From the Prussian new admission of 1892, the place is regularly recorded as oak on measuring table sheets .

In 1822 31 people lived in the place categorized as a courtyard, which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the Overath mayor in the Mülheim am Rhein district . For the year 1830 37 inhabitants are given for the place called Eichen . In 1845, according to the survey of the government district of Cöln, categorized as a courtyard and designated as Eichen , at that time it had ten residential buildings with 54 inhabitants, all of which were Catholic. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province lists Eichen in 1871 with ten houses and 46 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, ten houses with 55 inhabitants are given for oak . In 1895 the place had ten houses with 49 inhabitants, in 1905 ten houses and 50 inhabitants are given.

As the residential areas of the Overath core town grew up, Eichen lost its independent location in the second half of the 20th century and became part of the closed residential development along the federal highway 484. The residential area is still evident from the street names Eichen and Eichenweg .
