history

According to the settlement researcher Heinrich Dittmaier , the name ending "-hagen" means a space enclosed by a hedge in a forest enclosure . Thus, the emergence of Niedernhagen can be dated to the great clearing period of the High Middle Ages (11th – 13th centuries).

1482 the place first learned documentary mention, as in the Kurmedepflichtigen of St. Apostles pin a child op de nedern Hagen was called.

In 1736 Peter Schirp built a paper mill, which was driven by the Sieper Bach and was in operation for about 130 years. From the 1860s the building housed a spinning mill for around 60 years, and since 1920 there has been a branch of the Klöckner-Moeller electrical company .

Attractions

The historical factory of the Moeller company is an excellently maintained object of Bergisch industrial culture. This also includes the freely accessible large pond including the swan house. In 1978 the company received a bronze plaque for the successful urban planning of the factory buildings in the landscape and the environment and for the excellent design of the workplaces as part of a national competition.

Sports

The TV Niedernhagen is a small traditional sports club and at the same time the driving force for many activities of the local community.
