Kaltenbroich is a district in the Sand district of Bergisch Gladbach .
history
The settlement of Kaltenbroich was first mentioned in 1660 as Kahlenbroich . In the middle of the 18th century the hamlet had nine farms. By 1905 the place developed under the name Kaltenbruch into a settlement with 20 houses in which 98 residents lived. Today's name Kaltenbroich was created around 1918 . The syllable cold indicates the temperature conditions, while the basic word broich is explained by the damp, swampy soil in the valley. The below-average temperature is explained by the open valley section in the upper Lerbachtal , which is exposed to the north wind.
Mining
In the vicinity of Kaltenbroich, mining was operated on the Blücher pit and the Britannia and Selma pits , on which miners from Kaltenbroich also worked.
