Niederhonschaft (Wermelskirchen)
In the Middle Ages and modern times, the Wermelskirchen Niederhonschaft was an honor in the parish of Wermelskirchen in the Bergisches Amt Bornefeld (from 1555 Amt Bornefeld-Hückeswagen ). Along with the Wermelskirchen village and upper honors, it was one of three honors in the parish and was located in the Bornefeld-Hückeswagen judicial district .
The honor survived the communal reorganization in the Grand Duchy of Berg under French administration from 1806, but was separated from the other honors of the parish of Wermelskirchen and assigned to the newly founded municipality / Mairie Dabringhausen in the canton of Wermelskirchen , which belonged to the district of Elberfeld from 1808 .
The representative of the Niederhonschaft then applied because of the earlier ties to be connected to the Munizipalität / Mairie Wermelskirchen like the other honors of the parish . In 1808 and at the beginning of 1809 the Wermelskirchen municipal councils agreed to this demand and suggested the reunification of the parish.
These applications were rejected by the Interior Minister Johann Franz Joseph von Nesselrode-Reichenstein . Although he recognized that the separation of the parish broke old ties in the church, poor and school system, but prioritized the effort to create new municipal units in the arrondissement as uniform as possible. Without the Wermelskirchen Niederhonschaft, the municipality of Dabringhausen was too weak financially and in terms of personnel.
After the French withdrew from the Confederation of the Rhine in 1813 after the defeat in the Battle of Leipzig , the Mairie Dabringhausen was converted into the Dabringhausen mayor's office in the Lennep district under Prussia in 1816 . As a special household community belonging to the mayor's office, the honorary area was called Niederwermelskirchen in the 19th century .

According to statistics, the Honschaft had a population of 2,180 in 1815/16. In 1832 the population was 2,374, divided into 109 Catholic and 2,265 Protestant parishioners. The residential areas of the Honschaft comprised two public buildings (schools), 343 residential buildings, four mills or factories and 290 agricultural buildings. With the municipality order for the Rhine Province in 1845 the Honschaft was transformed into a municipality .
In 1873 the community Niederwermelskirchen was spun off from the mayor's office of Dabringhausen and merged with the Wermelskirchener Dorfhonschaft and the Wermelskirchener Oberhonschaft to form the town of Wermelskirchen , which in turn became part of the mayor's office of Wermelskirchen. Outside areas were assigned to the community of Dhünn .
