Lengsberg is a district in Oberodenthal in the municipality of Odenthal in the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis . It is located in a dead end road going northwest on the slope northeast of Amtmannscherf in the Scherfbachtal . This is where the place got its name: "Lengis" meaning slope .

history

The oldest known mention of Lengsberg comes from December 12, 1563. It is about the renewal and improvement of the wisdom of the Osenau court . Among the court jury listed is a "Martin von Lentsberg". In the list of tithes drawn up by Mr. zu Strauweiler on June 25, 1602, there is “Das Gut zu Lanßberg”, which has to pay a “whole tithe ”.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Miselohe , shows that the residential area was categorized as Freyhof in 1715 and named Lensberg . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Lengsberg . It shows that Lengsberg was part of Oberodenthal in the Odenthal rulership at that time .

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the rule was dissolved. Lengsberg was politically assigned to the Mairie Odenthal in the canton of Bensberg . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Odenthal in the Mülheim am Rhein district . In the 1840s the Lengsberg farm belonged to the Baron von Geyr-Schweppenburg along with the Käsbacher Hof with 108 acres of land . This suggests that the court belonged to Amtmannscherf. The farm was used as a forester's house in the 19th century.

The place is regularly recorded as Lengsberg on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824, on the Prussian first survey from 1840 and from the Prussian new survey from 1892 onwards .
