history

The oldest known mention of Meegen comes from February 1301. It is the property of Hermann in Meegen . During the War of the Spanish Succession , the Odenthalers also had to make their contributions to national defense. In this context, a Meygener Halfen is listed among others . He had to provide 10 fascines and 30 stakes .

Meegen is mentioned in 1527 as one of the farms that Adam von Hall inherited next to Strauweiler .

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Miselohe , shows that the residential area was categorized as Freyhof in 1715 and was designated as Megen .

Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Meuden . It shows that Meegen was part of Oberodenthal in the Odenthal rulership at that time .

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the rule was dissolved and Meegen 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 .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and on the Prussian first survey of 1840 as Meigen . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, it is regularly recorded on measuring table sheets as Meigen or Meegen . The place belonged to the Catholic parish Odenthal.
