history

Naming

The brook used to be called the Rhönbach and is sometimes simply referred to as the "Rhöndorfer Bach". The name Fonsbach can be derived from the Latin fons for "source, source, fountain". When this name was no longer understood, -bach was added; the name then developed from Fontsbach to today's spelling. In the corridor book in the town Honnef under the "Uraufnahme" of the Rheinisch-Westphalia Urkatasters of 1824 started to 1826 control land register the derived from the stream was Won -Name Aufm funds Bach (in "Urriss" of the field Atlas On the Fonsbach retained).

10th limit

The Fonsbach formed, as can already be seen from a document dated October 3, 1376, the tithe border between the Vilich Abbey in the north and the Honnef parish in the south. Therefore, the Rhöndorfer landowners north of the brook had to deliver the wine tithes to Vilich and those south of the brook via the so-called Zennigsweg to the tithe barn of the Honnef parish in the Honschaft Rommersdorf .

Mill operation

The Fonsbach operated a mill that the elector had built after 1654 as a result of the sinking of the ship mill anchored off Mülheim in the Rhine using parts of this Rhine mill that were still usable. It was built on a plot of land about one acre between the later Rhöndorfer school and the brook, as well as a grass and tree garden with a pond. In 1693 the elector sold the property of the mill, which was last in a bad condition, for 2000 Reichstaler with all rights and justice to the skipper Adolf Thießen with the permission to build an oil mill on it. Before 1816 the mill was converted into a millet mill; this year it was to be converted into a grinding mill . In the census in 1843, however, a millet mill that was uninhabited at that time is still mentioned as a place to live . The operation of the mill was later stopped; it was demolished when the federal highway 42 was built in 1957 and 1958.
