history

The name Osenau is composed of the Latin ausu (the ear) and the word Aue . Osenau was an estate of St. Gereon .

A surviving tax list from 1586 shows that the village was part of the Dorfhonschaft in the Odenthal parish.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Miselohe , shows that the residential area was categorized as Freyhof in 1715 and was designated Osenau . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Osenau . It shows that Osenau was part of Unterodenthal in the Odenthal rulership at that time .

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the rule was dissolved. Osenau was politically assigned to the Mairie Odenthal in the canton of Bensberg . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Odenthal in the Mülheim am Rhein district .

The place is on the topographic recording of the Rhineland in 1824, on the Prussian Uraufnahme of 1840 and from the Prussian new recording from 1892 on Ordnance Survey regularly as Osenau recorded.
