history

From 1725 until its demolition in 1938, a cloth factory produced in the village. At that time, the place belonged to the Berghauser Honschaft in the Bergisches Amt Bornefeld-Hückeswagen .

In the second half of the 18th century there was also a band hammer driven by the water in Rasselstein . It was owned by Johann Flender , who owned numerous manufacturing facilities in the region.

In 1815/16 there were 24 residents in the village. In 1819 the district administrator of the Lennep district compiled a list of the disused or converted water drives in the district for the royal government in Düsseldorf. It shows that in Rasselstein both the iron hammer from Johann Flender from Kräwinklerbrücke and another hammer from August Brand were probably out of order since 1804. For 1828, however, the operation of two hammers in Rasselstein was reported again in a letter from the mayor of Hückeswagen.

The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and the Prussian first survey from 1844 both record the place as Rasselstein . Another water thruster is shown downstream. For the year 1830 29 inhabitants are given for Rasselstein.

The ownership structure in the place is documented for the year 1829. Two houses and the so-called Obere Rasselsteiner Hammer were owned by the Flender brothers, heirs of Johann Flender. The Lower Rasselsteiner Hammer and two other houses belonged to an Ambrosius Brand from Bollenbeck. Both owners left a reservoir to a Hommeltenberg.

In 1832 Rasselstein was still a member of the Berghauser Honschaft, which was part of the Hückeswagen external citizenship within the Hückeswagen mayor's office . The place, categorized as iron hammer and cloth factory according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , had two houses at that time, the three factories or hammers and two agricultural buildings. At that time, 18 residents lived in the village, four of whom were Catholic and 14 Protestant.

The Oberrasselsteiner and Unterrasselsteiner Hammer were operated as refining steel hammers in 1835 and each had two overshot water wheels. One of the two was in a 1837 Schererei and Rauherei converted in 1840 is a Walkmühle recorded.

In 1843 the Oberrasselsteiner Hammer is still in use. In 1849 the textile company Mertens from Wiehagen acquired all the facilities, including two residential buildings.

In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland in 1885 three houses with 28 inhabitants are given. At that time the place belonged to the rural community Neuhückeswagen within the Lennep district . In 1895 the place had three houses with 16 inhabitants, in 1905 four houses and 16 inhabitants.

In 1898, the old Bevertalsperre was dammed, and the Rasselstein dam had been below it ever since. When the dam was enlarged in 1938, the location was in the planned expanded storage space, was laid down and flooded.
