history

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the living space had two farms as early as 1715, which are labeled as Brambach . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Ob. Brambach . It shows that at that time the place was part of the Tüschen community in the Hohkeppel parish .

The place is on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817 as Ob. Brambach recorded. The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area under the name Obr. Brombach . From the Prussian new admission of 1892, the place is regularly recorded on measuring table sheets as Ober-Brombach or Oberbrombach .

In 1822 56 people lived in the place categorized as Hof and called Brombach , which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the municipality of Hohkeppel of the Engelskirchen mayor in the Wipperfürth district . For the year 1830, 69 inhabitants are given for the place called Brombach . The town, which was categorized as a hamlet and designated Ober-Brombach according to the overview of the government district of Cologne in 1845 , had five residential buildings with 49 inhabitants at that time, all of them Catholic denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine province lists Oberbrombach in 1871 with 14 houses and 88 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, 14 houses with 61 inhabitants are given for Ober Brombach . In 1895 the place had twelve houses with 56 inhabitants, in 1905 ten houses and 66 inhabitants are given.

In the times of the plague around four hundred years ago, when contagions had to be avoided and individual farms between the hills were difficult to reach anyway, the Brombach people are said to have communicated with each other by loud calls by holding their hands to their mouths like a funnel and puuzten . The name Pooh men is said to have originated from this.

Due to § 10 and § 14 of the Cologne Act , the municipality of Hohkeppel was dissolved in 1975 and incorporated into Lindlar. In the process, some districts of Hohkeppels were re-municipalityed into the municipality of Overath, including Oberbrombach.
