history

The name Pilegrinus de Gruzzenberg mentioned in early documents suggests that Obergrützenbach and Niedergrützenbach originally belonged to one farm and that one is a split from the other. The place was first mentioned in the 13th century as Gruzzenbach . The determinant grits probably actually goes back to semolina or gravel .

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the residential area had four farmsteads as early as 1715, which are labeled as Grüzemig . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Grüzenbach . It shows that the place was part of the Honschaft Oderscheid in the parish of Overath at that time .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1825 as Ober Grützemich . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area under the name Obergoetzenbach . From the Prussian new admission of 1892, the place is regularly recorded on measuring table sheets as Ober Grützenbach or Obergrützenbach .

In 1822, 24 people lived in the village of Gründemig , which was categorized as a courtyard and , after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement, belonged to the Overath mayor in the Mülheim am Rhein district .
