Krahwinkel

Krahwinkel is a district of Marialinden in the town of Overath in the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany .

Location and description

Forest and fields surround the landscaped courtyard . It can be reached from Overath-Landwehr via a narrow country road, from Vilkerath via a forest path . All houses are half-timbered buildings in the old Bergisch style. It is not clear whether the name Krahwinkel comes from the crows that can still be seen here today or from the name Adolphus de Crawinkele , which can be found on an old interest list. From a natural point of view, the area belongs to the Marialinder Riedelland , which in turn belongs to the Agger-Sülz plateaus . To the west of Overath there are four inlets to the Schlingenbach , each of which is fed from a number of sources. One of the rare animals to be seen in the area is the red kite .

history

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the living space already had three courtyards in 1715, which are labeled as Krahwinckel . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Krawinkel . It shows that the place was part of the Honschaft Miebach in the parish of Overath at that time .

In 1805, the bridge builder Johann Bolz from Krahwinkel was commissioned to rebuild the previously destroyed wooden bridge over the Agger . It came to a tragic end: on February 6, when the bridge was almost completed, the Agger flooded. When Bolz and his assistants Peter Wilhelm Feckter and Caspar Lindner from Much wanted to install the bridge railing, the bridge was swept away by the floods and the three bridge builders drowned.

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the Steinbach office was dissolved and the Honschaft Miebach with Krahwinkel was politically assigned to Mairie Overath in the canton of Bensberg . In 1816, the Prussians converted the Mairie to the Overath mayor in the Mülheim am Rhein district , an amalgamation of the cantons of Bensberg and Mülheim am Rhein .

Krahwinkel is shown on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and on the Prussian first survey from 1840 as a Krawinkel with a place to live . From the Prussian new recording from 1892, it is on Ordnance Survey recorded regularly.

For 1830, 40 inhabitants are given in the place designated as the leased property. The place, which was categorized as a courtyard in 1845 according to the overview of the government district of Cologne , had seven houses at that time. At that time, 31 residents lived in the place, all of them Catholic faith.

The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province are listed by Krahwinkel in 1871 with seven houses and 26 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, seven houses with 32 inhabitants are given for Krahwinkel. In 1895 the place had five houses with 29 inhabitants and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish Marialinden, in 1905 four houses and 26 inhabitants are given. The house numbering cadastre from 1907 lists five houses for Krahwinkel and the names of the owners: Peter Bolz, Johann Erkelenz, August Greve and Peter Hilperath.

From Krahwinkel today, in addition to roe deer, a herd of mouflons can sometimes be observed, which have found their home in the forest near Linde . The animals like to graze and sunbathe on harvested fields in the valley between Krahwinkel, Linde and Landwehr . The area hit the headlines because a newly immigrated she-wolf has probably killed one of these mouflons. The area is now one of the suspected wolf areas in the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis , which the NRW Ministry of the Environment set up.
