Location of the place in the municipality of Wipperfürth

Neye is a settlement of Wipperfürth in the Oberbergischer Kreis in the administrative district of Cologne in North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).

Location and description

The Neyesiedlung is located about 1.5 km northwest of the city center of Wipperfürth, framed between the district road K13 and the connecting road to Hückeswagen- Fürweg . Other neighboring towns are Klitzhaufe , Stöpgeshof , Wipperhof and Hilgersbrücke .

The small sports airfield Neye separates the settlement from the Wupper . The disused railway line from Remscheid- Bergisch-Born to Marienheide ( Wippertal Railway ) also runs immediately south of the settlement.

history

The place was probably mentioned in a document for the first time in 1353 : "Heynemanno de Neyden is Wipperfürther aldermen (other interpretation: Nien)."

The spelling of the first mention was Neyden .

The settlement got its name after the brook Neye, which is dammed in the nearby Neyetalsperre and flows into the Wupper here .

Until the end of the 1940s there were only a few farms here; the area was dominated by agriculture. Then the city of Wipperfürth decided, at the intercession and urging of the dean Joseph Mäurer, to clear building land here in order to be able to offer a new home to the many war displaced persons. This is how the largest residential area in the city of Wipperfürth was built, with the Neye settlement association, which was very active at the time. He also had a beautiful chronicle of the settlement made.

One street now bears the name of Dean Joseph Mäurer.

Airfield

The Luftsportverein Wipperfürth has been operating an airfield between the Neye settlement and the Wupper since 1956 . The airfield Wipperfurth-Neye has long been the only commercial airport in Oberbergi country , but is now only as a special airfield classified.

Buildings

The Catholic Church of St. Michael is located in Neye, built between 1956 and 1957 by the architect Bernhard Rotterdam . The large glass fronts come from Paul Weigmann from Leverkusen-Küppersteg. The Cologne artist Sepp Hürten made some pieces of equipment . On the south wall is his sculpture of the patron saint of the church: Saint Michael by the Wipperfürth sculptor Hans Joachim Bergmann (1992).
