Oberhausen is a residential area in the municipality of Kürten in the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis .

Description and location

Oberhausen is located away from local roads in the southwest of the municipality of Kürten on a ridge between the districts of Biesfeld and Oberkollenbach . The Kollenbach , a brook that flows into the Sülz , rises nearby . According to the interpretation of the local history association , the name comes from the houses that were built above the older settlement of Kollenbach . In dialect one speaks of op Övverhusen .

history

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the place existed as early as 1715 and consisted of several courtyards. From the chart of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 by Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking it emerges that Oberhausen was part of the Kollenbach community in the parish of Kürten at that time .

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the Steinbach office was dissolved and Oberhausen was politically assigned to the Mairie Kürten in the canton of Wipperfürth in the Elberfeld arrondissement . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Kürten in the Wipperfürth district . At that time Oberhausen belonged to the municipality of Kürten.

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and on the Prussian first survey of 1840 as Oberhausen . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, it is regularly listed as Oberhausen on measuring table sheets .

The place, which was categorized as a courtyard in 1845 according to the overview of the government district of Cologne , had six houses at that time. At that time, 37 residents lived in the village, all of them of Catholic faith. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888 seven houses with 34 inhabitants are given.

In 1927 the mayor's office in Kürten was transferred to the office of Kürten. In the Weimar Republic in 1929 the offices of Kürten were merged with the municipalities of Kürten and Bechen and Olpe with the municipalities of Olpe and Wipperfeld to form the office of Kürten. The Wipperfürth district became part of the Rheinisch-Bergisch district on October 1, 1932, with its seat in Bergisch Gladbach .

In 1975 the current municipality of Kürten was established on the basis of the  Cologne Act , to which, in addition to the offices of Kürten, Bechen and Olpe, a sub-area of ​​the city of Bensberg with Dürscheid and the surrounding areas was added.
