history
The name is probably derived from the term "Oberer Hau" ( Hau = blow). According to one theory, the name in the 13th century by priests and officials of the provost Oberpleis introduced that hit wood there.
The Oberhau belonged as Honschaft the parish Oberpleis in Bergisch Office Blankenberg . The Duchy of Berg was founded in connection with the formation of the Rhine Confederation in 1806 in the Grand Duchy of Berg . The former Honschaft Oberhau formed from 1808 to 1813 one of the 31 communities or local districts in the canton of Hennef and was administered by the Mairie Oberpleis (from 1813 "Mayor of Oberpleis"). In Prussian times (from 1815) Oberhau remained as a cadastral or tax municipality part of the Oberpleis mayor and was assigned to the Siegburg district (from 1825 "Siegkreis"). The community was incorporated into the newly formed and politically independent community of Oberpleis in 1845/46.
Since the year 2000, the area has expanded very strongly through the designation of new building areas and the resulting influx. Although the name Oberhau today only has legal relevance as a district , it is still used by its residents today ( "I live in Oberhau" ), which is probably due to the geographical togetherness of the places and common associations such as B. the carnival society Spitz pass op! is well founded.
