history
The town of Ottoherscheid is a medieval settlement name that is recorded in the original cadastre as Otto Herscheid . The basic word herscheid is also used in the settlement names Dresherscheid and Wüstenherscheid . It can be deduced from the earlier form Haenscheid . Haen represents a subsidiary form of "Hain / Hohn" (in field names = enclosed forest), while "Scheid" generally denotes a border (also wooded elevation). As a result, herscheid can be interpreted as a tree line or border forest .
According to the survey of the government district of Cöln , the place categorized as “ farm property ” had four houses in 1845. At that time there were 41 people living in the village, all of them Catholic.
