history

The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1825 names the place “Schlenke”. In the official topographical map ( Prussian new recording ) from 1892 to 1894, “Öderschlenke” is used, and from the topographical map of 1927 the place name “Oedeschlenke” is used today.

In 1815/16 14 people lived in the village. In 1832 Oedeschlenke was still part of the Walbrecken Honschaft, which now belonged to the mayor's office in Lüttringhausen . Which according to the statistics and topography of the district of Dusseldorf as Ackergut designated place was Oederschlenke called and had at that time a house, a farm building and a factory. At that time 15 people lived in the place, all of them Protestant faith. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province from 1888, a house with four residents is given.

From 1899 onwards, a hydropower plant built in Oedeschlenke supplied electricity to the transformer stations in Dahlerau, Beyenburg and Oberdahl via high-voltage lines. The water required to generate energy was diverted 850m up the Wupper , near the mouth of the steamer brook , from the Wupper and led over a ditch to the weir of the facility. The power plant had two turbines, each driving a three-phase synchronous generator of 195 kW. In 1930 operations were stopped and the electrical systems were scrapped. In 1970 the company buildings were demolished. The former upper trench of the power plant was used from 1980 to 2001 by a fishing association based in Oedeschlenke for fish farming. With the demolition of the old weir by the Wupperverband in 2001, the upper ditch was transformed into a biotope.
