history

In the Bergisches Land, a Kotten describes a simple residential house or building for exercising a trade or sideline or an agricultural property with a smaller size than a full yard.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , proves that the residential area had two courtyards as early as 1715, which are labeled as Kotten . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Kotten . From it it emerges that the place was part of the Honschaft Balken in the parish of Overath at that time .
