from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Honschaft mountain was from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, one of three Honschaften the parish Olpe in the District Court Kuerten of Office Steinbach in the Duchy of Berg .

From the Charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 by Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking shows that the area around the former district mountain and the northern part of present-day districts Kuerten and Olpe corresponded with a portion of the area to Laudenberg an exclave of Oberhonschaft formed.

At that time, the honors included the residential areas Bilstein , Broch , Burgheim , Dörnchen , Gerhardsberg , Häcksbilstein , Johannesberg , Junkermühle , Kahlenberg , Körschsiefen , Kuddenberg , Meiersberg , Nassenstein , Rothe Furth , Schmitte and Siefen .

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the Steinbach office was dissolved and the Honschaft was politically assigned to Mairie Olpe in the canton of Wipperfürth in the Elberfeld arrondissement . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the Olpe mayor in the Wipperfürth district . The area of ​​the Honschaft belonged to the municipality of Olpe at that time.

In 1927 the Olpe mayor's office was transferred to the Olpe office. 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.
