Location of Gravenberg in Langenfeld (Rhineland)

Gravenberg (Langenfeld) is the name of a location in the Wiescheid district of the city of Langenfeld on the city limits of Solingen .

Geography of the location

Gravenberg lies between the B 229 in the north, Gladbach in the west, the Wenzelnberg in the south and the Gruiten – Cologne-Mülheim railway line built in 1867 by the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft . in the East. The latter separates Gravenberg from Rupelrath with its historically significant St. Reinoldi Chapel . The location extends north and east of Wenzelnberg on relatively flat terrain and is only built on with the Landhotel Lohmann Gravenberg and the square and clubhouse of the Gravenberger SV 06 football club.

The name of the location

As the name suggests, Gravenberg was once owned by House Graven . As early as 1620, in connection with the court court of Graven, the nearby court of Heinrich Velthausen in Feldhausen and the Gladbacher Hof were named as part of the court association of the manorial Oberhof von Haus Graven. This connection also suggests a document dated December 9, 1665 on the limits of rough hunting justice, in which hereditary bushes, bends and meadows have long been identified as belonging to the Graven House. Since Rupelrath with the Reinoldi Chapel is expressly designated as belonging to the hunting area, Gravenberg is likely to have been part of the possession of House Graven. A reference to the saga of the sunken castle (see: Hapelrath ), on the other hand, is speculative.
