history

The brook name Naaf , in the 13th century as de Nafe , in 1555 as the Nave , is a river name word of Indo-European origin, the root of which cannot be traced in German . The meaning seems to be neutral flow and is related to the Greek nao (= flow ), Latin nato (= swimme ) , navis (= ship ). The defining word Hentges is probably derived from a diminutive of the personal name Heinrich or Hans ( Hänschen ).

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the residential area had three farms as early as 1715, which are labeled as Henges Naf . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Hengesnaf . It shows that the place was part of the Honschaft Oderscheid in the parish of Overath at that time .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1825 as Hensches-Naaf . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area under the name Hentgesnaf . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, the place is regularly recorded as Hentgesnaaf on measuring table sheets .

The place was in the vicinity south of the Brüderstraße , an important medieval old highway from Flanders via Cologne to Leipzig .

In 1822, 25 people lived in the place categorized as courtyard and mill , which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the Overath mayor's office in the Mülheim am Rhein district and was called Hentschesnaf at that time . For the year 1830, 29 inhabitants are given for the place called Hof mit Mühle under the name Hentscheshof . In 1845, according to the survey of the government district of Cöln, the place called Hentgesnaf and categorized as a courtyard had seven residential buildings with 49 inhabitants, all of them Catholic denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province lists Hentgesnaaf in 1871 with seven houses and 36 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, six houses with 34 inhabitants are given for Hentgesnaaf. In 1895 the place had six houses with 27 inhabitants and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish of Marialinden, in 1905 five houses and 29 inhabitants are given.

On November 2, 2001, for unknown reasons, a 34-year-old man from Oberhausen was kidnapped at gunpoint and, after a long journey via Düsseldorf and Cologne, was brought to Hentgesnaaf. There passers-by were able to free him from the trunk of a car, the two kidnappers were no longer present at the time.
