history

The Lehnshof Eulenthal probably belonged to an Adolfus der Urle - the name Eulenthal was probably derived from this unusual name.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the residential area had two farmsteads as early as 1715, which are labeled as Eulendahl . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Lehenthal . It emerges from it that the place was part of the honor of saints in the parish of Overath at that time .

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

In 1822, 19 people lived in the place categorized as a courtyard and known as Eulendahl , 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 20 inhabitants are given for the place called Hof und Eulendahl . The town, which was categorized as a hamlet and designated as Eulenthal according to the survey of the government district of Cöln in 1845 , had five residential buildings with 32 inhabitants at that time, all of which were Catholic.
