history

The place was first mentioned in the 13th century as Gruzzenbach . The determinant grits probably actually goes back to semolina or gravel .

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the residential area had four farmsteads as early as 1715, which are labeled as Grüzemig . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Nied. Grüzenbach . It shows that the place was part of the Honschaft Oderscheid in the parish of Overath at that time .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 as Unter Grützemich . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area under the name Nieder Götzenbach . From the Prussian new admission of 1892, the place is regularly recorded on measuring table sheets as Niedergrützenbach .

In 1822 33 people lived in the place categorized as a courtyard , which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the Overath mayor's office in the Mülheim am Rhein district and was called Nieder-Grötzemig at that time . For the year 1830, 86 inhabitants are given for the place designated as leasehold together with Obergrützenbach . According to the survey of the government district of Cologne, categorized as a hamlet in 1845 and designated as Nieder-Grötzenbach , it had eight residential buildings with 51 inhabitants at that time, all of which were Catholic. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine province lists Niedergrützenbach in 1871 with ten houses and 38 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, eight houses with 49 inhabitants are given for Nieder Grützenbach . In 1895 the place had eight houses with 48 inhabitants and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish of Marialinden, in 1905 eight houses and 64 inhabitants are given.

The house numbering register from 1907 counts ten houses in Neugrützenbach and names the owners, who mostly lived there themselves: Peter Meiger, Wilhelm Frackenpohl from Kreuznaaf (residents: Jacob Bücheler), Peter Josef Manz, Peter Miebach (owned 2 houses), Johann Manz, Johann Höck, Wilhelm threshold brook, NN. Broichhagen and the municipality of Overath, which were planning a school here.

The one-class school was opened in 1910. It existed (with an interruption from 1918 to 1927) at least until 1963. The school chronicle lists Friedrich Biesenbach from Mülheim an der Ruhr and Julius Koch from Trier as the first teachers . In 1949 the school was expanded to include two classes, which were attended by 60 children a year later. In 1963 the number of children fell to 25. This was mainly due to the fact that many families who had sought refuge here from Cologne during the war were able to return to their homeland.
