history

The location of Kellerhansberg was built as a single house in the first half of the 19th century and is unmarked on the Prussian first recording from 1844. At the end of the century, large-scale sand mining began in the area of ​​the residential area. From the northwest sand pit end of the century brought a light railway to the railway Gruiten-Cologne-Mülheim at the station . In the first third of the 20th century, several more detached houses were built west of the first residential area, one of which was built in 1924 by the Leichlingen Friends of Nature and used as a house for friends of nature and a youth hostel .

The southwestern sand pit expanded northward and the original living space was removed. Today, the local cemetery of the same name, which also includes a chapel, is located on the mining site and the location of the original settlement. In the middle of the 20th century a sports field was set up near Kellerhansberg. A campsite was added to the Naturfreundehaus in the 1990s.
