Löhe (Bergisch Gladbach)
Löhe is a district in the Moitzfeld district of Bergisch Gladbach .
history
Löhe is located at the southeasternmost point of Bergisch Gladbach on the road from Moitzfeld to Immekeppel . In dialect you say: “Ech am vam Lüh” (I'm from Löhe) when you want to name your place of residence. Etymologically, the name Löhe / Lueh is derived from the Old High German loh (= grove) or the Middle High German lôh / lôch (= bushes, forest, wood) and denotes a piece of forest. The root actually lies in the Germanic word lauha (= grove, clearing, forest).
The Löhe (Lüh) settlement developed from a settlement in the Middle Ages. It is entered in the original cadastre as Lueh in the municipality of Immekeppel. The first farm was part of the Immekeppeler Lehnhof farm association. After 1500 it disintegrated into numerous smaller farms. In the second half of the 19th century, a mining settlement developed in Löhe, in which around 1900 about 30 miner families lived.
Mining
The Romans probably already mined in the area around Löhe. In many places certain traces point to medieval mining. In the middle of the 19th century, industrial mining began at the apple mine , whose processing plant was located in nearby Immekeppel.
