history

Rostingen was part of the Oberhau honors , one of the last five honors that made up the Oberpleis parish in the Blankenberg district until the Duchy of Berg was dissolved in 1806. Rostingen was then part of the cadastral or tax municipality of Oberhau in the administrative district of the mayor's office in Oberpleis and was incorporated into the newly formed municipality of Oberpleis in 1845/46 with Oberhau. In censuses in the first half of the 19th century rust Ingen was as Kotten recorded. The place initially remained a collection of several courtyards and never grew significantly beyond the level then reached in terms of population. However, the number of residential houses increased from seven to twelve between 1843 and 1885.

A quarry on Scheurenberg , which was already in operation at the end of the 18th century, and the quarrying of quartzite banks on the Rostinger Heath above, since the second half of the 19th century, were of economic importance for the place . On October 1, 1902, Rostingen was connected to the narrow-gauge rail network of the Bröltalbahn to develop the quartzite deposits and formed the end point of the Siegburg - Niederpleis - Upperpleis - Herresbach - Nonnenberg - Rostingen line, on which a smaller number of people were also transported. In 1905 a connecting line was built from the Rostingen train station along the Quirrenbach past Gratzfeld, Wülscheid and through Orscheid to Rottbitze , which was used to transport the basalt mined on the Himberg and Dachsberg . In 1951, the section from Nonnenberg to Rostingen was closed, on May 20 for passenger traffic and on June 23 for goods traffic. In the course of the following three decades, quartzite mining gradually came to a standstill.

Rostingen remained a part of the municipality of Oberpleis until 1969 .
