Rottland is a district in the Asselborn district of Bergisch Gladbach .

history

The settlement Rottland emerged from a medieval farm. It is listed in the original cadastre with the name Am Rothland southeast of Ober Steinbach . The clearing name Rottland suggests a founding date in the post-Carolingian clearing epoch 1000-1300.

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the Porz office was dissolved and the Dürscheid Honschaft , to which Rottland also belonged, was politically assigned to Mairie 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 . Rottland had 12 Catholics in 1845.

In the list of the Kingdom of Prussia for the 1885 census, Rottland was listed as a place to live in the rural community of Bensberg in the Mülheim am Rhein district. At that time, seven houses with 42 inhabitants were counted.

In 1905 the settlement had six buildings with 18 residents. Rott is an ablaut for the Middle High German "ruiten" (= reuten, to make arable). It denotes a clearing for the purpose of the corridor expansion or a settlement .
