history

Leffelsend was first mentioned in 1487 as v. Leffelsende mentioned in a document. The place name is possibly a form word . The meaning of the name can also be compared with the place Löffelsende near Cologne, for whose name the meaning " long distance, long distance " is proven.

The place was on Heidenstrasse , an important medieval old highway from Cologne via Kassel to Leipzig . The old route of the old high path towards Hohkeppel between Leffelsend and Hufenstuhl is partly a farm road or no longer exists, towards Untergründemich the route ran on today's road.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the residential area had three farms as early as 1715, which are labeled as Leffelsend . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Leffelsende . It emerges from it that the place at that time as a border town belonged partly to the upper parish Immekeppel (also Honschaft Immekeppel ) of the parish Gladbach in the higher court of Bensberg and partly to the Honschaft Vellingen in the parish Hohkeppel.

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817 as a spoon end . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area under the name Löffelsende . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, the place is regularly recorded as Leffelsend on measuring table sheets .

In 1822, 17 people lived in the place categorized as a farm and house and designated Löffelsend , which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement partly (ten residents) to the rural municipality of Immekeppel in the mayor's office of Bensberg in the Mülheim am Rhein district and partly (seven residents) belonged to the rural community of Hohkeppel in the Engelskirchen mayor's office in the Wipperfürth district . For the year 1830 13 inhabitants are given for the Immekeppeler suburb of Löffelsend, which is called a farm . In 1845, according to the survey of the government district of Cöln, categorized as a farm and farm and called Löffelsend , it had five residential buildings (four in Immekeppel, one in Hohkeppel) with 40 inhabitants (23 in Immekeppel, 17 in Hohkeppel), all of them Catholic Confession. The local and Gutbezirksstatistik the Rhine Province leads Leffelsend 1871 houses six (five to Immekeppel, one to Hohkeppel) and 39 inhabitants (28 to Immekeppel, eleven to Hohkeppel) on. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, seven residential buildings (six in Immekeppel, one in Hohkeppel) with 42 inhabitants (34 in Immekeppel, eight in Hohkeppel) are given for Leffelsend . In 1895 the place had six houses (five in Immekeppel, one in Hohkeppel) with 28 inhabitants (23 in Immekeppel, five in Hohkeppel) and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parishes of Immekeppel and Hohkeppel. In 1905 six residential buildings (five in Immekeppel, one in Hohkeppel) and 38 inhabitants (33 in Immekeppel, five in Hohkeppel) are given.

On the basis of Section 10 of the Cologne Act , several Bensberg outlying areas were converted to the municipality of Overath in 1975, including the area around Leffelsend, which was only politically part of a municipality after a century and a half.
