Kaule is a district of Bergisch Gladbach and belongs to the statistics district 5 of the city under No. 54.

history

The name Kaule goes back to the original settlement centers of three medieval farmsteads with the name "auf der Kaule" in the Bensberg freedom . In the 17th century there were ten goods in the Kaule area. A large hamlet with 47 residential buildings and 286 inhabitants developed by the beginning of the 19th century.

Albertus Magnus High School

The name of the settlement is etymologically derived from the Middle High German "kûle" (= pit) and refers to an artificially created depression from which ore, sand, gravel or clay was extracted. In this context, the street name “Am Pangenfeld” near the Albertus-Magnus-Gymnasium is interesting. As old aerial photos show, there was a larger ping field in this area. A pinge is a bowl-shaped or funnel-shaped depression in the terrain that was created by mining close to the surface. It is known that mining was carried out here in the High Middle Ages. So the street should actually be called Am Pingenfeld. Mining has also been dominant since the mid-19th century with the Julien mine, which was lent for lead and zinc ore . Around 1.4 million tons of ore that can be mined are still stored there today.
