Liefenroth is a district of the city of Gummersbach in the Oberbergischer Kreis in the administrative district of Cologne in North Rhine-Westphalia .

geography

The village is located in the valley of the Strombach on an eastern foothill of the Hundskbochen (357 m above sea level). The district road K 41, which crosses the town, connects it with the districts of Vollmerhausen in the south and Hardt-Hanfgarten in the north.

history

Like many other clearing locations, Liefenroth was probably cleared in 10/11. Founded in the 18th century as a single farm The place was first mentioned in 1542 when Martyn and other residents of Leyfflynckroede were listed in the Turkish tax list.

Older sources speak of the existence of a chapel, but its location can no longer be verified; just as little as that of a rod hammer on site. The operation of a distillery around 1830 is better documented.

In the second half of the 18th century, Liefenroth had roughly the same number of inhabitants as Dieringhausen, around 40 . However, while the latter district, located in the Aggertal , grew 35-fold from the end of the 19th century in the course of industrialization up to 1910, the population of Liefenroth stagnated at 67 in the same period.

Culture

Every year the village community of Liefenroth organizes the village festival with the " Krampenschießen ".
