history

The court overath had existed since 1633. His jurisdiction extended beyond the goods belonging to the parish Overath. The court court Obersteeg was also affiliated to the Overather Höfeverband with its courtyards (localities) Oberbech , Lokenbach , Wüsterhöhe , Wustsiefen and the Balker Höhe .

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Portz , shows that there were already two places to live named im Steeg on both sides of the Sülz in 1715 , each with two farms. From the map of the Duchy of Berg in 1789, it emerges that the place was part of the Oberkirchspiels Immekeppel (also Honschaft Immekeppel ) of the parish Gladbach in the upper court of Bensberg at that time.

The orographically right one should be Obersteeg. The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817 as Steeg . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area under the name Obersteg . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, the place is regularly recorded as Obersteeg on measuring table sheets .

In 1822, 57 people lived in Steeg , which was categorized as a farm (presumably Obersteeg and Mittelsteeg ), which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the mayor's office of Bensberg in the Mülheim am Rhein district . For the year 1830, Obersteeg is presumably given together with Mittelsteeg as 80 inhabitants. The place, which was categorized as a farm estate in 1845 according to the overview of the government district of Cologne , had eight residential buildings with 54 inhabitants, all of them Catholic denominations.

Until 1868, Obersteeg belonged to the community of Oberimmekeppel and thus to the parish of Gladbach. On November 11, 1868 it came to the parish of Immekeppel by archbishop's order . At that time one still wrote Obersteg (with only an "e").

The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine province lists Obersteeg in 1871 with six houses and 41 residents. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888 eight houses with 47 inhabitants are given for Obersteeg, the place belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish Immekeppel. In 1895 the place had seven houses with 45 inhabitants, in 1905 seven houses and 50 inhabitants are given.

On the basis of Section 10 of the Cologne Act , several Bensberg outlying areas were transferred to the municipality of Overath in 1975, including the area around Immekeppel with Obersteeg.

Zervasmühle Obersteeg

The Zervasmühle is located at the southern exit of Obersteeg. The initially nameless watermill was rebuilt around 1853 from parts of the Immekeppeler mill and used as a grain mill. In 1883 the owner changed, and in 1890 it was shut down. The mill only got its name after it closed down, when a family Zervas lived in the mill building that had been converted into a residential building.
