There is a tennis facility at the southwest end of the Welscher Busch street.
history
Sand bei Bensberg was first mentioned in 1516 and then in 1544 as van me Sande . The name refers to the location in the Bergisches Heidesandstrip . The place was recorded in the original cadastre as Auf'm Sand .
Sand is on the topographic recording of the Rhineland in 1824 and the Prussian Uraufnahme of 1840 as sand recorded. From the Prussian new recording from 1892 he is on Ordnance Survey regularly as sand recorded.
According to the topographic maps 1: 25,000 there is a building near the tennis court. All the buildings on the south side of the driveway and all on the north side of the street were demolished and replaced in the 1960s. The core of what is now the Welscher Heide / Welscher Busch intersection remained unchanged until the 1980s and was then replaced by new developments. Later, the development on the previously vacant areas became more concentrated.
With the municipal reorganization of 1975, the street was renamed Welscher Busch to avoid confusion. This is a designation that was constructed from the two old tub designations Auf der Welscher Heide and Im Sander Busch .
etymology
The defining word welsch comes from the Middle High German walhisch / welhisch (= Romanesque, French, Italian) and refers to a place of residence for foreign, especially French settlers in settlement and field names . Presumably they were French artists and craftsmen who were significantly involved in the construction of Bensberg Castle at the beginning of the 18th century and who settled in the Bensberg area for this purpose. Today the word is hardly used anymore because it has a negative connotation.
