history

Ferrenberg was first mentioned in the 13th century as Varenblech , in 1470 the farm was named Varenbach . Bleck , sheet metal means strip of meadow , fenced grass area , free space in the forest . The defining word Varen is the nhd. Name for fern .

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the living space had a courtyard as early as 1715, which is labeled as Fermig . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Fenweg . It shows that the place was part of the Honschaft Balken in the parish of Overath at that time .

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

In 1822, 13 people lived in the place, which was categorized as a lease and after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement, it belonged to the Overath mayor's office in the Mülheim am Rhein district and was then called Fermberg . For the year 1830 16 inhabitants are given for the place designated as leased property. The place, which was categorized as a lease property in 1845 according to the overview of the government district of Cöln and also called Fermberg , had a residential building with 12 inhabitants at that time, all of whom were Catholic. The municipal and Gutbezirksstatistik the Rhine Province leads Ferrenberg 1871 with a dwelling house and eleven residents. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, Ferrenberg is given a house with eight residents. In 1895 the place had a house with seven inhabitants, in 1905 one house and 12 inhabitants are given.

Until the 1970s, the Ferrenberg residential area consisted only of the farm of the same name, which was surrounded by agricultural land. In subsequent years, the courtyard and the agricultural land was for a large-scale settlement building area opened and closed built. The old courtyard buildings were removed for this purpose in the 1980s.

Since then , the housing estate has completely filled the gap between the residential area Rappenhohn and the Overath core town, so that the former residential areas Ferrenberg and Rappenhohn are no longer perceptible as independent settlement centers, but are part of the closed development of Overath.
