history

Until the clearing and subsequent settlement, there was mixed forest in the whole area , in which there were also many oaks . This is where Eichholz got its name. The place was first mentioned on August 15, 1401. In this document, Adolf VII von Jülich-Berg stipulated that Eichholz belonged to the Altenberg Abbey . As a result, the place had to pay ½ Malter feed port to the abbey. In the middle of the 16th century, Eichholz was subordinate to the Dhün court with three goods . The place belonged to the Honschaft Breidbach in the office of Porz .

During the War of the Spanish Succession , the Odenthalers also had to make their contributions to national defense. In this context Eichholz had to place 5 fascines and 15 posts .

Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the courtship on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Eichholz . It emerges from it that Eichholz was part of Oberodenthal in the Odenthal lordship at that time .

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813 the rule was dissolved and Eichholz was politically assigned to the Mairie Odenthal in the canton of Bensberg . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Odenthal in the Mülheim am Rhein district .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 as Meecheles and on the Prussian first survey of 1840 as Eichholz . From the Prussian new entry in 1892, it is regularly recorded on measuring table sheets as Eichholz or without a name.
