history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1247. A " Hartlievus de Veckynhagen " witnessed a comparison of the Severinstift in Cologne with the mayor of Lindlar. The spelling of the first mention is Veckynhagen . The name is derived from " fennapfel ", the blueberries.

In Fenke, an early testimony to human settlement in the Bergisches Land was found in a quarry, a flint ax from the Stone Age. The place probably originated during the early period of the first permanent settlement of the area around Lindlar in the 10th century AD.

In a document from 1550 it is noted:

Beckinckhain (= Fenk), 2 should, hait Johan Schinkkern and Mewus inherit and Roepges inherit.

In the Middle Ages, Fenke belonged to the Remshagen community in the Lindlar parish.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the residential area had several farms as early as 1715, which are listed as a village without a church and labeled as Fenckhag . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Fenkhagen . It emerges from it that the place was also part of the Remshagen Honschaft in the upper parish of Lindlar at this time.

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1825 as Fenke . The Prussian first recording from 1840 shows the residential area also under the name Fenke . From the Prussian new admission of 1894/96, the place is regularly recorded as Fenke on measuring table sheets .

In 1822 145 people lived in the place categorized as a courtyard, which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the Lindlar mayor in the Wipperfürth district . For the year 1830, 157 inhabitants are given for the place called Fenke . The place, which was categorized as a hamlet in 1845 according to the overview of the government district of Cologne , had 19 residential buildings with 150 inhabitants at that time, all of them Catholic denominations.
