Kley is a district in the Romaney district of Bergisch Gladbach .
history
The name Kley is an old farm and settlement name that is documented as early as 1400 in the form of Cleye . The original cadastre lists the settlement as Klei along the old road from Mülheim to Wipperfürth (today's Romaneyer Straße). In 1905 the hamlet consisted of three farms with 13 residents. The name of the settlement is derived from the Middle High German klebe (= sticky clay) and refers to the loamy soil quality of the area.
Mining
