Lantenbach is a district of Gummersbach in the Oberbergischer Kreis in southern North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany .

history

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1450: Krevet to Lantenbeke , her sons and two brothers were among the wax interest groups of the Cologne apostle monastery .

At least around 1900, Lantenbach was still considered the most important place between Gummersbach and Lieberhausen . At that time the population was just under 250; In 1811 there were already 170 people living here in around 25-30 houses. This fact is all the more remarkable since on September 13, 1748 almost all of Lantenbach fell victim to a conflagration.

From the beginning of the 19th to the 1970s, Lantenbach was the location of a (elementary) school with up to 140 students. After the school reform, the primary school students were assigned to Becke and the secondary school students to Derschlag ; A kindergarten was set up in the school building .
