history

The first written mention was made around 1294 in connection with the founding of the Kommende Herrenstrunden . Until then, Meiswinkel , which at that time probably only had one farm, still belonged to the Sander Hof , to which the Sander court court attached to it was subordinate. That changed with the settlement of the Order of St. John in the neighboring village of Herrenstrunden , where he established a commandery with the branch of his order of knights . From now on, Meiswinkel belonged economically to the Kommende Herrenstrunden.

However, Meiswinkel remained ecclesiastically connected with the neighboring farms Blissenbacher Hof , Hauserhof and the hamlet Weyermühle with the parish of Sand . Due to this curiosity, the residents were not allowed to visit the nearby church in Dürscheid or the church in Herrenstrunden a little further away for the prescribed worship, but were regularly forced to walk the long way across the two parish districts to Sand. It looked similar for the political affiliation, because Meiswinkel belonged to the  Honschaft Sand  in the  Botenamt  Gladbach and not to the neighboring  Honschaft Dürscheid  in the Botenamt Herkenrath.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani  by  Erich Philipp Ploennies  from 1715, Blatt  Amt Porz , proves that the place, called Meiswinckel there, belonged to the Amt Porz in 1715. The  Charter of the Duchy of Berg  in 1789 by  Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking  confirmed that Meiswinkel part at this time of the  Honschaft Dürscheid  lying exclave of  Honschaft sand  was in the parish of sand in the Official Porz. This exclave was called Obersand . Wiebeking categorizes the place as a  common courtyard and calls it Meiswinkel .

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813 the Porz office was dissolved and the parish of Sand, to which Meiswinkel belonged, was politically assigned to the Mairie Gladbach in the Mülheim am Rhein arrondissement. In 1816 the  Prussians converted  the Mairie to the  mayor's office in Gladbach  in  the Mülheim am Rhein district .

In 1822 13 people lived in the place  categorized as  Hofstelle and called  Meisswinkel  . In 1830 the place had 19 inhabitants and was called  Meißwinkel  . The  place, which was categorized  as a  farmyard in 1845 according to the  overview of the government district of Cologne , had two houses at that time. At that time there were 16 residents, all of them Catholic.

In the second half of the 19th century Meiswinkel came with the other localities from Obersand to the parish Dürscheid in the municipality of Bensberg.

In 1927 the mayor's office in Bensberg was transferred to the Bensberg office. On October 1, 1932, the district reforms in Prussia created the Rheinisch-Bergische Kreis. Since then, Meiswinkel has been part of this group.

In 1975, due to the  Cologne Act,  today's municipality of Kürten was established, to which, in addition to the offices of Kürten, Bechen and Olpe, a sub-area of ​​the city of Bensberg with Dürscheid and thus also Meiswinkel came.
