Hardtknippen is a district in the Herkenrath district of Bergisch Gladbach .
history
The name is derived from Hardt (= a wooded mountain slope) and Knippen (which means a small hill or ridge). The earliest reference to Hardtknippen dates from December 23, 1772 with a request for encouragement from Christian Welter to the iron stone mine "Amhart Knippen" west of the Hardt forester's house .
At that time, a small farm estate with the later name Hardtknippen must have emerged here. In 1860, 16 inhabitants were counted here together with the Hardt settlement . Several old ravines run here that led from the Milchborntal and Lückerath to Herkenrath.
