history

Around 1300 the place was first mentioned as "Obirna". At the same time mills were mentioned, the Obernauer mill was in the Brauersdorf district. An exactly dated document from June 3, 1311 names the place as "Overnha". In 1643, according to a list of properties, five of the six house owners practiced the charcoal burner profession. In 1896 the "Obernauer Weiher" was created.

In 1925, 38 of the 89 inhabitants were Catholic, 30 Protestant and 21 other denominations. The total area of ​​the demarcation was 584 hectares. A post office, a volunteer fire brigade as well as a water supply and an electricity supply of the Netphen association were set up. The community council consisted of six seats and the community leader was Schmallenbach. Obernau belonged to the parish of Netphen, both Protestant and Catholic.

Between 1806 and 1813 the place belonged to the "Canton Netphen" in the Grand Duchy of Berg , and the "Mayor of Netphen" was created under Prussian administration. From 1844 Obernau then belonged to the office of Netphen .

In 1936, in the course of Brauersdorf's water reservoir investigations, a house was set up at the mouth of the Nauholzbach to measure precipitation.

In October 1964 Wilhelm Klein (CDU) was elected mayor and official representative. Karl Groos (CDU) became his deputy.

In 1964, work began on the planned dam. In the course of the construction, the places Obernau and Nauholz had to give way completely, as well as part of the neighboring Brauersdorf. Most of the buildings were "warmly demolished". In 1968 the place was completely dissolved and demolished. In the course of the municipality reform, which came into force on January 1, 1969, Obernau was still assigned to the new municipality of Netphen, but at that time the place no longer existed. The Obernau district still exists formally. In 1971 the dam was completed.
