history

The oldest settlement in Rösrath is in the Forsbach district. During excavations in the district "In Brendgen" (today: "In Brändchen") in 1937 in addition to numerous Mesolithic stone tools (were microliths ) also found post holes that a Mesolithic settlement suggest. The first traces of settlement can be found on the Forsbacher Heights. Only later were the swampy Sülz lowlands of Volberg and Rösrath drained and settled. The name Forsbach does not go back to a brook, but is probably the unsuccessful attempt to translate the old place name Forsbich (Vo'eschbich) into High German. The syllable "bich" means "mountain". Forsbach would therefore be the "foremost mountain".

Today's Hope Valley was previously called Volberg. The first documentary documentation from Vogelberhc (Volberg) can be found in the Prümer Urbar from 893 , a list of goods from the Prüm Abbey in the Eifel . Politically, Volberg belonged to the Duchy of Berg and was administered by the Bailiwick of Lülsdorf from 1460 after the division of the Bergische Ämter .

The name Hoffnungsthal goes back to a hammer mill called Hope Thaler Hammer. Due to the hopeful industrial development that began at the beginning of the 19th century and which provided the poor Sülztal population with bread and work, Volberg was renamed into hope valley.

Old view of Rösrath around 1800, the former monastery building on the left

A bunker in Hoffnungsthal can be visited as a relic from the time of the Second World War . In 1940, French prisoners of war and from 1941 around 1200 Polish prisoners of war were housed in the "Hoffnungsthal" prisoner-of-war camp (today: Rösrath-Stephansheide) . A small cemetery at the nearby Kalmusweiher reminds of this time. Nowadays the “Children's and Youth Village Stephansheide” of Diakonie Michaelshoven is located on the former camp site . Kleineichen is a forest settlement that was only created in the 1930s.

Rösrath was mentioned for the first time in 1356 and at that time comprised only a few farms. Volberg is much older than the district of Rösrath, which gives the city its name. The name Rösrath reflects the history of the place's origins. The syllable "ros" stands for damp, swampy terrain. The ending “ -rath ” indicates clearing . Rösrath is probably a settlement that was created by clearing in the formerly swampy Sülztal.

Rösrath belonged to the Volberg messenger office in the Duchy of Berg . On December 21, 1808 the municipality of Rösrath was established, this administrative structure based on the French model replaced the previous Volberg messenger office. Franz Wilhelm Gammersbach became the municipal director (Maire). His official seat was Haus Steeg in Rambrücken. In 1830 he moved his official residence to the House of Venauen and remained in office as mayor until February 1833.

religion

Evangelical Church Volberg

Augustinian hermits began building a monastery building in the Rösrath district in 1677 . This was followed by the construction of the Church of St. Nicholas of Tolentino , a school and the construction of a cemetery . While in the district of Rösrath an independent Catholic parish is documented only from 1853 , there was already a separate church in 893 in Volberg (in today's hope valley) with 11 Hufen , whose donations to the Benedictine abbey in Prüm in the Prümer Urbar have been handed down. In the 16th century, Volberg became Lutheran , as did the neighboring communities of Honrath , Seelscheid and Wahlscheid . From the Romanesque predecessor of the Evangelical Church in Volberg , only the substructure of the tower and the apse have been preserved. The current church goes back to a new building from 1788.

For a long time there was a denominational separation between the Catholic Rösrath and the Protestant Volberg. In 1956, a Catholic St. Servatius Church was inaugurated in Hope Valley. Due to the strong population growth during and after the Second World War , many war refugees found a new home in Hoffnungsthal. This ultimately led to today's mix of denominations. The Protestant Church of Reconciliation was inaugurated in Rösrath-Mitte in 1967 . The Christian Community Hoffnungsthal , founded in 1992, is a branch of the Evangelical Society for Germany .

Before the Second World War, there was no uniform religious affiliation in the Forsbach district. The Protestant residents of Forsbach visited the Volberg church in Hoffnungsthal. They used the Kirchweg , a Forsbach street name that has survived to this day. On the other hand, the Catholic families - rather a minority - turned to the Rösrath Church of St. Nicholas of Tolentino . In 1956 the Evangelical Christ Church was built in Forsbach . The Catholics meanwhile celebrated their services in an emergency chapel, which was a converted chicken farm and therefore popularly called “St. Kikeriki "was called. Finally, in 1968, the Catholics also received a worthy place of worship with the Holy Spirit Church . Due to the ecumenical opening of the Catholic Church ( decree on ecumenism ) at the Second Vatican Council , the name “St. Marien Church ”. In order to express the ecumenical support in the naming, the church was named next to the Evangelical Christ Church after the third person of God, the Holy Spirit.

The Catholic Church of the Holy Family was built in Kleineichen in 1952 . In 1964, the Protestant Kreuzkirche was inaugurated, a pyramid-shaped church building in which the church interior, the bells and all ancillary rooms are housed under one roof. Today this church is a columbarium .

coat of arms

Blazon : "Baroque shield divided across, in the upper white field the watchful double-tailed red lion, armored in blue and crowned with blue, in the lower green field a white hunting horn with a gold mouthpiece, lintel and shoulder strap."

Reasons for the coat of arms: The city coat of arms goes back to the seal of the old Bergische Landgericht zu Volberg, responsible for the Volberg messenger office in the Duchy of Berg . In the upper part of the coat of arms you can see the red Bergischen lion with a blue crown and tongue as well as blue claws, as it is contained in many coats of arms with Bergisches Löwen .

A hunting horn on a green background in the lower part of the coat of arms symbolizes the royal forest, a popular hunting area for the Dukes of Berg.
