Kitzburg (Wermelskirchen)
Kitzburg (also Kitschburg ) is a building at Kölner Straße 12 in the center of Wermelskirchen . According to the vernacular, the name Kitzburg comes from a poacher who is said to have slaughtered fawns there. There were also other buildings called Kitzburg, for example in Cologne-Lindenthal , Kapellensüng and Walberberg .
The house was bought by the Catholic parish in 1796 and used as a school house. In 1802 it was number 170. At that time it was inhabited by the teacher Josef Werner, who married a daughter of the administrator Carl Philipp von Schatte .
In the original cadastre of 1830 the house has the cadastral article 360. In 1835, Mayor Marseille sold the house to Abraham Küpper for 284 thalers. In 1854 the heirs of Stein von der Wirtsmühle in Wermelskirchen were co-owners. When the von Stein inheritance was divided in 1859, the property included houses in the Kitzburg, Wirtsmühle and Heiligenborn with a total value of 39,524 thalers.
Other owners were Friederich Ising in 1866, Carl Kaiser in 1894, Johann Eiberg in 1900, Alfred Straßweg, master painter and former district leader of the NSDAP in 1929, Robert Breidenbach, foreman in 1930 and Therese Geldhaus, clerk, in 1942 Walter Müller.
The Kitzburg Castle was planned to be demolished in the 1970s, but it was not carried out, so the house is still standing today.
