Location of Frankenforst in Bergisch Gladbach

Frankenforst was a district in what is now the Lückerath district of the city of Bergisch Gladbach in the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis . The name goes back to the surrounding forest area Frankenforst , which was used as a ban forest in turn for hunting by the earlier kings of the Franks.

Today's Frankenforst district , which emerged much later to the southeast, is also named after the forest area .

Location and description

The village of Frankenforst was south of the center of Lückerath and east of the Cologne-Mülheim-Lindlar railway line . Today there are Hans-Böckler-Strasse and Graf-von-Spee-Strasse.

history

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 as Frankenforst . From the Prussian new recording from 1892 he is on Ordnance Survey regularly until 1941 as Frankenforst listed or with no name. Later, after the Second World War , the entire surrounding area was rebuilt and fully developed. Nothing has been preserved from the original development.

Frankenforst belonged to the mayor's office of Bensberg and denominationally to the parish of Bensberg. Due to the Cologne Act , the city of Bensberg was merged with Bergisch Gladbach to form the city of Bergisch Gladbach with effect from January 1, 1975. The Frankenforst area also became part of Bergisch Gladbach.
