history

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Porz , shows that the residential area had a courtyard as early as 1715, which is labeled as Holts . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Holtz .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817 as wood . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area unlabeled. In the Prussian new recording from 1892, the place is recorded on the measuring table as Holzerhof .

In 1822 twelve people lived in the village, which was categorized as a farm and designated wood , which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the mayor's office of Bensberg in the Mülheim am Rhein district . For the year 1830 15 inhabitants are given for the place designated as wood . In 1845, according to the overview of the government district of Cöln, categorized as a farm and designated wood , had three residential buildings with 13 inhabitants, all of which were Catholic. The local and Gutbezirksstatistik the Rhine Province leads timber 1871 with two houses and 15 residents. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province from 1888, three houses with 25 inhabitants are given for wood . In 1895 the place had a house with eight residents. In 1905 two houses and ten residents are given.

In the 1930s / 40s, the settlement had to give way to the growing dumps and processing plants of the Lüderich mine and the place fell into desolation.

On the basis of Section 10 of the Cologne Act , several Bensberg outlying areas were transferred to the Overath community in 1975, including the area around Untereschbach with Holzerhof.

Today the desert lies on the grounds of the golf course of the Lüderich Golf Club, which was created on large areas of the former Lüderich mine.
