The border in the village

Opperzau stop , school bus service

A 200 meter length of the country roads 112 / 267 , the Opperzau (Windeck) and Oppertsau (Fürthen) separates, not only the town boundary is, but at the same time the border between countries North Rhine-Westphalia and Rheinland-Pfalz . In addition, the street has its own street name for each side: Siegstraße for the Oppertsauer side, Fürthener Straße for the Opperzauer side.

Despite the state border running through the town, there are joint activities and associations, such as the Opperzau / Oppertsau citizens' association . The reason for the division is controversial sovereign rights from the 13th century, which were only settled through the Siegburg settlement in 1604. Due to the separation in the middle of the place, there is often confusion among strangers despite the different spellings.

The village belonged to the parish of Rosbach and at times to the mayor's office Dattenfeld .

In 1830 the place had 130 inhabitants.
