history

Findings of bones at the Boneberger Bridge do not only indicate a long settlement of the Further Moor. Urn finds in Immigrath may indicate a Roman camp on the edge of the moor to keep rebellious Teutons in check. The Rhenish Office for the Preservation of Land Monuments in Bonn is also aware of some desert sites , places where people once settled in the moor . However, it is not known when the first settlers built their houses in Furth.

About the few written evidence: In a table from 1816, the village is mentioned for the first time as a peasantry with 14 inhabitants . Before that, the place belonged to the Dückeburg hunting borders , as the Dückeburg hunter Hansen said "under oath" around 1670 at the Weyerhof (today desert site) in Hapelrath. At that time there was talk of “Furth with a bird hearth” and a “stone in the middle of the heath”. Only a map from 1815 suggests two houses in Furth. A memo on Langenfeld's paths from 1839 shows that the writer apparently introduced himself to a stranger when he stated, “ ... who comes from Landwehr on the best paths to the Furth, as he is like at the end of the world stands and only sees narrow byways ... ". According to a protocol, the school commission found in 1908 that the members could not be required to travel as far as, for example, to Furth. Nevertheless, a postcard from 1920 already proves that the Further Moor was used by day trippers, because in Furth there was an inn called "Restaurant Waldesruh". The owner is an August Peters who ran the farm next to his pedigree poultry farm.

The name Furth

The name Furth is presumably derived from Furt , because there was only one way from Immigrath to Furth through the Further Moor .
