Location of Oberklüppelberg in Wipperfürth

Oberklüppelberg is a district of Wipperfürth in the Oberbergischer Kreis in the administrative district of Cologne in North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).

Location and description

Oberklüppelberg is located in the eastern Wipperführer city area to the left of the Wupper , which is still called Wipper here. Neighboring towns are Niederklüppelberg , Neuenhammer , Klaswipper , Streppel and Im Hagen .

The district road K39 connects Oberklüppelberg by means of a bridge over the river with the neighboring Ohl , which is on the right of the Wupper. Due to the merging of the two local areas, Oberklüppelberg is now regarded as part of Ohl.

The disused Wippertalbahn runs through the village, the route of which has now been rededicated as a cycle path. The former Ohl / Rönsahl station on the railway line is located in the village.

The parish of the Catholic parish church of St. Nicholas runs a community primary school in Oberklüppelberg.

history

According to Leithäuser , the term Klüppel (stick) comes from forestry and describes the wood cut from branches (as opposed to split logs ). Klüppelberg is the mountain on which such things grow. The prefix Ober- is used to distinguish it from the neighboring Niederklüppelberg residential area.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the residential area had two farms as early as 1715, which are labeled as Klipelberg . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking named the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Klüpelberg . It shows that at that time the place was part of the Scharde family in the parish of Wipperfürth.

Around 1800 the Protestants founded the school in the Scharde family in Oberklüppelberg, so that their children's long journeys to school would come to an end. The Catholic children had to continue to attend schools in Wipperfürth or Marienheide for almost a decade .

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813 the Steinbach office was dissolved and Oberklüppelberg was politically assigned to Mairie Klüppelberg in the canton of Wipperfürth . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Klüppelberg in the Wipperfürth district .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1825 as Klüppelberg . The Prussian first recording from 1840–44 shows the residential area as an ob. Klüppelberg . From the Prussian new admission from 1895–96, the place is regularly listed as Obr. Klüppelberg and Oberklüppelberg recorded.

In 1822, seven people lived in the place categorized as a courtyard , which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement, now belonged to the Klüppelberg mayor in the Wipperfürth district . For the year 1830 36 inhabitants are given for Oberklüppelberg. In 1845, according to the overview of the government district of Cöln, the place named Ober-Klüppelberg and categorized as a hamlet had seven residential buildings with 47 inhabitants at that time, all of which were evangelicals. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine province lists Oberklüppelberg in 1871 with eight houses and 44 residents.

According to the municipality encyclopedia for the province of Rhineland from 1888, the place had six houses with 46 inhabitants. In 1895 the place had five houses with 53 inhabitants, in 1905 six houses and 42 inhabitants are given.

In 1902 the Wippertal Railway was laid past the site. Freight and passenger traffic was discontinued on June 1, 1985 and the route was converted into a cycle path in 2009.

Due to the Cologne Act , the municipality of Klüppelberg was dissolved in 1975 and largely incorporated into Wipperfürth. Thereby Oberküppelberg came to the extended city of Wipperfürth.
