Obervolbach is a district in the Herkenrath district of Bergisch Gladbach .

history

The Obervolbach settlement southeast of the hamlet of Strasse is recorded in the original cadastre . Originally there was a medieval settlement in Volbach . This name was transferred to other court foundations in the area in the following centuries. Further differentiation was therefore necessary. The original cadastre from 1827 shows a Volbach name group , which is composed of the settlements of Volbach, Ober-Volbach, Veldersvolbach and Hinterwinds Volbach . The name Untervolbach probably came into being after 1930. In 1905, all of the localities in whose names the name Volbach appeared comprised a total of 21 residential buildings with 116 inhabitants. Volbach is also the name of the brook that flows through the aforementioned villages and flows into the Sülz in Immekeppel . The names Veldersvolbach and Hinterwinds Volbach no longer exist. The word Volbach means Vogelbach .
