history

From the chart of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 by Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking it emerges that Miebach, called Maubach there, was part of the Engelsdorf community in the parish of Kürten at that time . Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the Steinbach office was dissolved and Miebach was politically assigned to the Mairie Kürten in the canton of Wipperfürth . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Kürten in the Wipperfürth district . In the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824, the place is shown as Unter Miebach , Mittel Miebach and Ober Miebach . The residential areas Eikamp , Schmitte , Berg , Aderpohl , Serach , Königsburg and Ort are still listed on the area that is now Miebach . The shafts of the Katharinaglück mine started from Miebach . In 1830 the place had 119 inhabitants. Categorized as a hamlet at the time, Miebach had twelve residential buildings and 101 residents of Catholic faith in 1845.

In the list of the Kingdom of Prussia for the 1885 census, Miebach was listed as the residential area of ​​the rural community of Kürten. At that time there were 29 houses with 139 inhabitants. In 1905 the place had 24 houses with 121 inhabitants and belonged to the parish of Biesfeld . In the Prussian first recording from 1836 to 1850, the place is recorded with Obermiebach and Untermiebach . From the time of the Prussian new admission from 1893 to 1896, the place is regularly recorded as Miebach on measuring table sheets .

Others

Miebach is only sparsely found in the literature as a town. A cross at Wipperfürther Straße 202 can be found as monument no. 59 in the list of architectural monuments in Kürten . Otherwise there were only a few small farms and the Haus Weidmannsheil restaurant here until the middle of the 20th century . After the Second World War , a settlement for displaced people from eastern Germany was built on the north-western mountain slope . The rest of the buildings were later concentrated.
