Meisheide
Meisheide is a district in the Moitzfeld district of Bergisch Gladbach . With the construction of Friedrich-Ebert-Straße in the 1920s, the place was divided into two halves. Since that time there has been the upper Meisheide , which was later named Meisheider Wald , and the lower Meisheide , which has kept the name Meisheide.
history
The Meisheide is a high medieval settlement with a farm . It is recorded in the original cadastre as Messheide . Up until the early modern period , the first yard was expanded to include two more yards. By 1905 the settlement had developed into a larger hamlet with 11 residential buildings and 63 inhabitants.
The origin of the word Meisheide cannot be clearly clarified. The determining word Meis can come from the Old High German bird name meisa (= titmouse). But there is also the possibility that the spelling Mess has its origin from the Middle Latin mansus (= hooves ). The basic word heather indicates the location of the place on the Bergisch Heidesandstrip.
