history

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, Blatt Amt Steinbach , proves that the place already existed in 1715 as a place with two courtyards and was called the highest . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court as the highest on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 . It emerges from it that Höchst was at that time part of the Bechen honors in the parish of Kürten in the district court of Kürten.

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the Steinbach office was dissolved and the place was politically assigned to the municipality of Bechen in the Mairie Kürten in the canton of Wipperfürth in the Elberfeld arrondissement . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Kürten in the Wipperfürth district .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 as Hühsden and on the Prussian first survey of 1840 as the highest . From the Prussian new entry in 1892, it is regularly listed as the highest on measuring table sheets .

In 1822, 20 people lived in the place that was categorized as a courtyard and called the highest . In 1830 the place had 23 inhabitants and was called Hoegsten . The place, which was categorized as a courtyard in 1845 according to the overview of the government district of Cologne , had three houses at that time. At that time, 30 inhabitants lived in the highest named place, all of them of the Catholic faith. The municipality and district statistics of the Rhine province lists Höchst in 1871 with four houses and 25 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, six houses with 29 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the place had five houses and 19 residents. In 1905 the place had three houses and 14 residents and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish of Bechen.

In 1927 the mayor's office in Kürten was transferred to the office of Kürten. In the Weimar Republic in 1929 the offices of Kürten were merged with the municipalities of Kürten and Bechen and Olpe with the municipalities of Olpe and Wipperfeld to form the office of Kürten. The Wipperfürth district became part of the Rheinisch-Bergisch district on October 1, 1932, with its seat in Bergisch Gladbach .

In 1975 the current municipality of Kürten was established on the basis of the  Cologne Act , to which, in addition to the offices of Kürten, Bechen and Olpe, a sub-area of ​​the city of Bensberg with Dürscheid and the surrounding areas was added.
