Fahn is a district in the Schildgen district of Bergisch Gladbach . Before the reorganization in 1975 under the Cologne Act , Fahn belonged to Odenthal .

Today Fahn and Schildgen form a closed settlement area, so that the place is no longer perceived independently.

history

The name Fahn is reminiscent of the Fahner Gut, a high medieval settlement that emerged from clearing . Fahn is one of the oldest settlement centers in Schildgen and was created as a feudal estate of the manor of Osenau . The first school building for the Nittum school district was built here in 1824 . It is already recorded in the original cadastre at the level of today's Concordiaweg. In 1953, the entire connecting road from Fahn to Unterscheid was named Fahner Weg .

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Miselohe , proves that the residential area was categorized as a courtyard in 1715 and given a flag .

Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as a flag . It shows that Fahn was part of Unterodenthal in the Odenthal rulership at that time .

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813 the rule was dissolved and Fahn 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 regularly recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824, on the Prussian first survey from 1840 and from the Prussian new recording from 1892 on the measuring table as a flag or without a name. Fahn belonged to the Catholic parish Odenthal, since 1929 to the parish Schildgen.

Naming and etymology

The spelling of the name has changed several times. In a court register of the Osenau rulership in 1414, the court was referred to as das gut zum farne, quidquam dicunt (so called) zum Fahn . This means that today's spelling is already used in the late Middle Ages . In a tithe list from 1602, the name of the settlement appears as the good for Faen . Fahn is the vernacular name for fern and refers in field names to the growth of ferns, which is an indicator of a damp soil condition. The Old High German term fern and the Middle High German varn go back in their trunk to the Gothic fani (= swamp / silt).

Place of execution and witch hunt

In the Middle Ages and in the early modern period , Fahn achieved a certain regional fame, because the place of execution of the Odenthal regional court was on the local Galgenberg . Not only were criminals executed here by the gallows , the block or the wheel , but supposed witches were also burned since the 17th century . In 1747 the last death sentence was carried out here. In 1811 the district court was dissolved.

Mining

In the 19th century, iron mining was carried out on the Fahn mine behind the house Fahner Weg 3 a / b and on the neighboring properties.
