history

Imbach was first mentioned in 1356 as Ynbach . The appellative in the place name is easily recognizable from Bach , the defining word is likely to go back to a personal name Immo or Inno .

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, Blatt Amt Miselohe , shows that the place already had two living spaces in 1715 , each of which had four courtyards and was called Imbag . One of the living spaces was marked as a Freihof . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Imbach . It shows that Imbach was part of the Neukirchen parish at the time.

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the Miselohe office was dissolved and Imbach was politically assigned to the special community of Neukirchen of Mairie Opladen in the canton of Opladen in the arrondissement of Düsseldorf . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Opladen in the Opladen district .

The district of Opladen became part of the Solingen district as early as 1819 . In 1820 the place classified as Hofstatt had 256 inhabitants. The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 as Imbach and on the Prussian first survey from 1840 as Jmbach . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, it is regularly recorded as Imbach on measuring table sheets .

In 1815/16 256 people lived in Imbach, in 1830 306 people. In 1832 the place was still part of the community Neukirchen within the mayor's office of Opladen. The place, which was categorized as Hofstadt according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had a public building, 47 residential buildings, two factories or mills and 104 agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 272 residents lived in the place, of which 43 were Catholic and 229 Protestant.

On August 24, 1857, the special community of Neukirchen, which was renamed Bergisch Neukirchen in 1904 due to the frequent occurrence of the place name , received town charter due to the Rhenish town code and left the mayor's office in Opladen.

The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with 51 houses and 266 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, 60 houses with 313 inhabitants are given for Imbach. In 1895 the district had 56 houses with 323 inhabitants and belonged to the Catholic parish of Lützenkirchen , in 1905 56 houses and 294 inhabitants are given.

In the course of the North Rhine-Westphalian regional reform , the city of Bergische Neukirchen and Imbach were incorporated into the city of Leverkusen with effect from January 1, 1975 in accordance with the Cologne Act .
