Numbering districts

It used to be common for houses to be numbered not by street, but rather divided into districts, where they were numbered according to the date they were built.
There were such districts in Kettwig. For example, the house with the address “Circumstance 5” was the fifth house built in the numbering district of Circumstance.
Of these old districts, two still remain in Kettwig:

• “Farmers” became the name of a street south of Kettwig's old town in 1950.
• "Oefte" has been a numbering district since the middle of the 9th century until today, which includes many street sections and adjoining, isolated houses in the rural Kettwig East, between Laupendahler Landstrasse, Werdener Strasse and the border to Heidhausen and Isenbügel.
