history

Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as a place . It emerges from it that at that time square was part of the parish of Bensberg at the Bensberg Higher Court in the Porz district .

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

The place is recorded as a place on the Prussian New Admission from 1892 .

In 1822 two people lived in the place categorized as a farm. In 1830 the place had three residents. The place, which was categorized as a farm with a chapel according to the overview of the government district of Cologne in 1845 , had a residential building at that time. At that time, nine residents lived in the place, all of them Catholic faith. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province ranked 1871 with five houses and 48 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, twelve houses with 109 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the place had nine houses and 50 residents. In 1905 the place had ten houses and 80 inhabitants and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish of Bensberg and the Protestant community of Bergisch Gladbach.

In 1927 the mayor's office in Bensberg was transferred to the Bensberg office. The district of Mülheim am Rhein became part of the Rheinisch-Bergisch district on October 1, 1932, with its seat in Bergisch Gladbach .

Between 1933 and 1940 there was still the dual village of Platz-Moitzfeld , which was merged into Moitzfeld at the request of the residents. The name Moitzfeld stood especially for the farms Untermoitzfeld and Mittelmoitzfeld on Platzer Höhenweg and Obermoitzfeld on the eastern edge of the village. Place stands for the Mittelmoitzfeld part . After the double name Platz-Moitzfeld was abolished, the name Platz lasted until the 1990s. Nevertheless, there are still people who don't talk about Moitzfeld, but about space. In connection with settlement names, the term place mostly refers to free areas such as marketplace or anger.
