history

The exact dating of the origin of this court is difficult. The first settlement probably took place from Fronhof Lindlar or Dürscheid . The first clearing work was followed by the creation of isolated farms, most of which still exist today.

A mill was built during the summer of the 19th century. A cross from 1767 is said to have been found during the excavation work. The mill, as well as the bakery belonging to it, are closed today.
