Quirlsberg is a district in the city center of Bergisch Gladbach .
history
The name of the Quirlsberg settlement was based on the earlier field and settlement name Am Quirl , which is documented for the first time in 1582. Quirlsberg is recorded in the cadastre from 1869 in the area of today's street. The Quirlsgut was a relatively small farm, which in the middle of the 18th century only included around four acres of land. The Schnabelsmühle originally had the name Mühle zum Quirl or Quirlsmühle , because it stood at the foot of the Quirlsberg. The defining word whorl is derived from the Middle High German quil / qual or the Old High German quella and denotes a source.
How it looks today
In 1776 the Evangelical Gnadenkirche was built at the foot of the Quirlsberg . It is modeled on a Carolingian octagon as a legitimate octagon. On the Quirlsberg stands the Bergisch Gladbach water tower , which was built in 1906 to supply the Zanders paper mill with water .
