Honschaft Bechen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The honor of Bechen was from the Middle Ages into the 19th century a honor of the parish of Bechen in the district court of Kürten of the Steinbach office in the Duchy of Berg .

From the Charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 by Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking shows that Bechen Titularort the Honschaft was. The area included around that of today's Bechen district in the municipality of Kürten and parts of today's municipality of Odenthal .

At that time the honors included the living spaces Altensaal , Durhaus , Eiberg , Eisenkaul , Haaswinkel , Hau , Herrenhöhe , Herscherthal , Herweg , Höchsten , Hohemühle , Holz , Kalsbach , Kleinheide , Klief , Knappstockberg , Kochsfeld , Königsspitze , Müllenberg , Nelsbach , Oberossenbach , Oberstockberg , Plätzmühle , Pohl , Richerzhagen , Rodenberg , Schanze (at that time Oertgen), and Schnappe .

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813 the Steinbach office was dissolved and Bechen was politically assigned to 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 . At that time, Bechen formed a community.

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. Part of the area of ​​the former Honschaft came to the municipality of Odenthal.
