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

Location and description

The small, agricultural hamlet of Kram can no longer be recognized as an independent district. It connects seamlessly to the Brücke district , which in turn merges into a residential and commercial area along the largely nature-protected Agger . In addition to single and apartment houses, the Maria Schutz children's home is located here .

history

Kram was mentioned in a document in the 13th century as de Kraym or de Craym . Kram has the meaning of small inherited property, possession of household items and land or, similar to today's word Kram, also junk , junk , mess .

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the living space had a courtyard as early as 1715, which is labeled as junk . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the courtship on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Kram . It emerges from it that the place was part of the honor of saints in the parish of Overath at that time .

The place was on the Brüderstraße , an important medieval old highway from Flanders via Cologne to Leipzig . On the route of the path rising from the Agger crossing to the ridge, the Marialinder Straße runs in this section today .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817 as Krahm . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the living space without any lettering. From the Prussian new admission of 1892, the place is regularly recorded on the measuring table as Krahm or Cram .

In 1822, three people lived in the place categorized as a house, which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the Overath mayor in the Mülheim am Rhein district . For the year 1830, 36 inhabitants are given for the place called Kram together with the residential areas Kleulshöhe , Leimshof and Lokenbach . The place, which was categorized as isolated houses in 1845 according to the survey of the government district of Cologne , had two residential buildings with seven inhabitants at that time, all of them Catholic denominations.

According to the list of residents and livestock from 1848 for the community of Burger , only the five-member family of the farmer and teacher Roland Feckelsberg lived in Kram , who owned 1 horse, 4 cows, 1 cattle, two calves and 3 pigs , as well as the sub-teacher Friedrich Melcher and 3 servants . Teacher Feckelsberg, who also worked as an organist, founded the Overath Choir, a mixed choir , in 1845 . The mistrust of the authorities against clubs at the time brought this to an end soon. It was not until 1856 that it was re-established under the name of the Concordia Choir as a pure male choir.

The local and Gutbezirksstatistik the Rhine Province leads Krahm 1871 with two houses and 16 residents. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, two houses with nine residents are given for Krahm . In 1895 the place had two houses with ten, in 1905 two houses and 14 inhabitants are given.
