Honesty grimacing

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Honschaft Grimßgewalt (also Grimsgewalt, Gereon violence or Gereonis called - of St. Gereon ) was from the early Middle Ages to the 17th century, a Honschaft in the parish Odenthal in office Porz in the Duchy of Berg .

A tax list from 1586 shows that the Honschaft was located in the southwest of the parish. At that time, the Honschaft included the living spaces Wingensiefen , Dünnerhöfe , Hoven, Broich, Nittum , Scheid, Kalmünten , Siefen , Bech , Küchenberg , Höhe , Lanzemich , Wiebershausen , Voiswinkel and Mutz .

After the parish of Odenthal became the dominion of Odenthal in 1634 , no honors are known. From Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking's 1789 map of the Duchy of Berg, it emerges that the Odenthal parish was divided into the Unterodenthal and Oberodenthal Lower Churches and no longer into honors. The area of ​​the Honschaft Grimßgewalt then belonged to Unterodenthal.
