history

The place name is derived from * Meleshusen and thus belongs to the -hausen name group . Old writings show that Melessen belonged to a Robert of the Melehs in the 16th century , after whom the farm was named Melleshusen .

From the chart of the Duchy of Berg by Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking from 1789 it emerges that the local area belonged to the Oberkirchspiel Immekeppel (also Honschaft Immekeppel ) of the parish Gladbach in the upper court of Bensberg .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817 as Melissa . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area under the name Meliesen . From the Prussian new admission of 1892, the place is regularly recorded on measuring table sheets as Melessen .

In 1822 eight people lived in the village, which was categorized as a farm and called Mehlissen , and after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement, it belonged to the Bensberg mayor in the Mülheim am Rhein district . For the year 1830 nine inhabitants are given for the place called Mehlissen . In 1845, according to the survey of the government district of Cöln , the place categorized as a farm and designated Melessen had three residential buildings with 21 inhabitants, all of them Catholic denominations. The municipal and Gutbezirksstatistik the Rhine Province leads Melessen 1871 with four houses and 21 residents. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, four houses with 22 inhabitants are given for Melessen . In 1895 the place has four houses with 24 inhabitants and belongs to the Catholic parish Immekeppel. In 1905 five houses and 23 residents are given.

On the basis of Section 10 of the Cologne Act , several Bensberg outlying areas were transferred to Overath in 1975, including the area around Immekeppel with Melessen.
