geography

Mehlbruch is connected to Rheindorf via Rheindorfer Strasse by an underpass under the Cologne - Düsseldorf railway line .

etymology

According to the name researcher Hans Bahlow, the part of the name flour is of Celtic origin and was put together to form broken flour by subsequent settlers and their word Broich. According to Bahlow, flour indicates a damp place.

history

The relative proximity to the Neuburger Hof / Rosendahlsberg, only about one kilometer away, allows the conclusion that Mehlbruch has also seen people since the Stone Age . Further archaeological finds at the Neuburger Hof also suggest that this area was not uninhabited during the Bronze and Iron Ages ( Hallstatt and La Tène times ). Taking into account the part of the name flour and the interpretation of Bahlow's, broken flour could also have Celtic origins. However, Mehlbruch only entered known history as "Ailbroich" when it was first mentioned in a document in 1364. In 1816 , 99 residents are already detained for Mehlbruch , which presumably developed from an originally single homestead .
