Description and location

history

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

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

The town, which was categorized as a hamlet with a school according to the overview of the government district of Cologne in 1845 , had 14 houses at that time. At that time there were 106 residents in the village, all of them of Catholic faith. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888 15 houses with 105 inhabitants are given.
