Image from Großbernsau

Großbernsau is a district of Overath in the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany . The residential area is not historically related to the Großbernsau castle ruins , but is located a few hundred meters east of it in the vicinity.

Location and description

The Großbernsau residential area is now primarily a small industrial area on Bundesstraße 55 , which is called Kölner Straße here . It is not to be confused with the agricultural estate of Bernsau , from which it is separated by a network of traffic routes.

Mountain pond

There are two reservoirs in Großbernsau, one of which is called a mountain pond .

history

The place did not emerge until the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and appears on the measuring table pages of the topographic map 1: 25,000 for the first time in the 1906 edition and is regularly labeled with Großbernsau there and in the two subsequent editions . From the 1949 edition onwards, the buildings in the town are listed without any lettering. For 1905, the municipality encyclopedia for the province of Rhineland gives one house and three residents.

Villa Großbernsau, 1932

In 1904 Heinrich Reichsgraf von Schaesberg-Thannheim sold his possessions in Overath, including Großbernsau, to Johann Dün (n) from Cologne, who wrote several books. In 1909 he built a villa by the mountain pond. The house was badly damaged in a bomb attack on February 3, 1945, and three people were killed, including two daughters of Hans Dünn junior.

After the Second World War , the house was inhabited again and an extension was built in place of the bombed part of the house. At the beginning of the 21st century, a side street of the same name was set up on the Großbernsau access road in a north-easterly direction and commercial operations were established in the space between the main road and seamlessly connected to the Hammermühle industrial park . This led to the fact that the Villa Großbernsau, which should actually be placed under monument protection with the application of the city of Overath, but which was rejected by the state monument office, increasingly fell into disrepair and no longer exists.
