history

Apparently the place already existed at the end of the 14th century, because on August 22nd, 1408 Duke Adolf VII von Jülich-Berg had, among other things, pledged three farms in the Feldbachtal because there was great financial need at the court. A document from this time attests to the sale of these three Feldbeck farms by Peter Veldbeck to Dietrich von Zweyvel. Feldbach was also mentioned in a document in 1484 as Velbeke . The map Topographia Ducatus Montani from 1715 shows the farm as o.Feldbec . In the 18th century the place belonged to the Bergisches Amt Bornefeld-Hückeswagen . The name suffix -beck is a Low German form of Bach .

In Oberfeldbach

In 1832, Oberfeldbach belonged to the Lüdorfer Honschaft , which was part of the Hückeswagen external citizenship within the Hückeswagen mayor's office . The statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district do not differentiate between Oberfeldbach and Niederfeldbach and at this time indicate nine residential buildings and ten agricultural buildings for Velbeck . In 1815/16 there were 50 people living in the village; 58 are given for 1832, five of them Catholic and 53 Protestant. However, it remains unclear whether these numbers mean Oberfeldbach, Niederfeldbach or both together

In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1885, five residential buildings with 50 inhabitants are given for Oberfeldbach. At that time the place belonged to the rural community Neuhückeswagen within the Lennep district . In 1895 the place had five houses with 31 inhabitants, in 1905 four houses and 37 inhabitants.

In the 19th century, the place was on the border with the municipality of Fünfzehnhöfe , which in 1906 was largely incorporated into Lennep . In the course of the North Rhine-Westphalian municipal area reform, the eastern area around Bergisch Born with the Oberfeldbach farm was detached from the city of Hückeswagen on January 1, 1975 and incorporated into the city of Remscheid.

It is exhibited at the wool gate (porta lanea) of the Latvian capital Riga, to which Peter Veldbeck, like many of his compatriots, emigrated. Hans von Schneppendahl is now supposed to collect this money from Dietrich von Zwyvel. The latter had become a mortgage holder and owed 134 guilders.
