Location of Mittelsteeg in Overath

Mittelsteeg is a district of Immekeppel in the town of Overath in the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany .

Location and description

The place is divided into several settlement areas, including the Mittelsteeg mill next to the Mittelsteeg residential area, directly on the Sülz . The agricultural district of Mittelsteeg can be reached via Landesstraße 284 (called Lindlarer Straße here) and a small bridge over the Sülz, which also leads towards Brodhausen . The development around the old waterworks, in turn, is located directly on Lindlarer Strasse near Haus Thal . Nearby villages are still Obersteeg , Untergründemich , Hasenbüchel and Immekeppelerteich .

history

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Portz , shows that there were already two places to live named im Steeg on both sides of the Sülz in 1715 , each with two farms. The orographic left is likely to be the middle walkway. Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Stege . It emerges from it that the place was part of the upper parish Immekeppel (also Honschaft Immekeppel ) of the parish Gladbach in the upper court of Bensberg at that time.

The place is unlabelled on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817. The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area under the name Mittelsteg . From the Prussian new admission of 1892, the place is regularly recorded on the measuring table as a middle walkway.

In 1822 57 people lived in Steeg , which was categorized as a farm (presumably Obersteeg and Mittelsteeg), which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the mayor's office of Bensberg in the Mülheim am Rhein district . For the year 1830 the place called Steeg is presumably given together with Obersteeg 80 inhabitants. The place, which was categorized as a farm estate in 1845 according to the overview of the government district of Cologne , had eight residential buildings with 54 inhabitants under the name Steeg at that time , all of them Catholic denominations. The municipal and Gutbezirksstatistik the Rhine Province leads means Steeg 1871 with seven houses and 43 residents. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, ten houses with 44 inhabitants are given for Mittelsteeg . In 1895 the place had six houses with 52 inhabitants and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish Immekeppel, in 1905 nine houses and 36 inhabitants are given.

In the second half of the 20th century there was a retirement home in Mittelsteeg.

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

Mittelsteeger mill

The Mittelsteeger powder mill was located on the Sülzbrücke around 1800 , and a second mill system was added by 1840. On December 1, 1870, the facility exploded and was rebuilt. After a second explosion in a powder mill's dry house around 1880, the plant was converted into a paper mill. This again burned down in the 1890s. In 1899 the plant was acquired by a R. Hummel from Elberfeld , who set up a factory for laces there, which, however , had to be closed again during the First World War .

In 1927 it was converted into a bed flake factory, after which a bone mill was operated there. In 1937 the plant became the property of the precision engineering company Herkenrath, which during the Second World War used hydropower by means of a turbine to produce detonator caps for bombs .

The buildings of the old factory in the local area still exist today, as does the weir below the Sülzbrücke.
