Former forester's house and the Neuborn pond

history

The name Neuborn refers to a small pond west of the Lückerather Weg. In the early modern period before 1650 there was a water castle with a square floor plan on a small island in the pond. Frühester owner was the court mayor of Lehnsgerichts dog soaps and Colonel of an imperial cuirassier regiment Peter Melchior of Lutringhausen. During the Thirty Years' War , the Neuborn estate was temporarily inhabited by Hermann de Coxi. He was a burgrave in the old Bensberg Castle . The Wasserburg Neuborn has probably not been inhabited since 1747, as the new owner built a new half-timbered courtyard near the castle ruins. From here he cultivated the surrounding property of 61 acres .

After the Bensberg-Gladbacher Zinkhütte was built in 1853 on the now less agriculturally used heather area, agriculture had to be stopped completely due to the contamination of the soil. After a lawsuit, the entire property was bought up by the zinc smelter's operator in 1873.
