history

The name Auel is derived from * ouwala , * ouwila , whose root word ouwa (= waterland ) is to be understood in the sense of a river meadow surrounded by water on several sides.

According to old writings, the Oberauel farm (also called The Great Auelerhof ) once comprised several hundred acres of land. In 1564 it is mentioned for the first time in connection with the feudal association of the Meer monastery . Thereafter, in 1570, the monastery pledged the farm to a creditor who did not redeem the pledge, after which all rights were transferred to the house of Nesselrode-Ehreshoven . In 1862 the estate was sold to the Cologne merchants FW Paas and Heinrich Neuland and divided up.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the living space had a courtyard in 1715, which is labeled as Auel and designated as Freihof. Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Auel . It emerges from it that the local area was part of the Unterirchspiel Immekeppel in the upper court of Bensberg at that time .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817 as if. Aul . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area under the name Auelter Hof . From the Prussian new admission of 1892, the place is regularly recorded on measuring table sheets as Ober-Auel or Oberauel .

In 1822 13 people lived in the (Ober-) Auel categorized as a farm estate , which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the mayor's office of Bensberg in the Mülheim am Rhein district . For the year 1830 16 inhabitants are given for the place called Ober-Auel . The place, which was categorized as a building property in 1845 according to the overview of the government district of Cologne , had a residential building with 9 inhabitants at that time, all of whom were Catholic. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province lists Oberauel in 1871 with ten houses and 75 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, 15 houses with 117 inhabitants are given for Ober Auel . In 1895 the place had ten houses with 90 inhabitants and was part of the Catholic parish Immekeppel. In 1905 twelve houses and 113 inhabitants are given.

On the basis of Section 10 of the Cologne Act , several Bensberg outlying areas were transferred to the Overath community in 1975, including the area around Untereschbach with Oberauel.
