history

The place originally belonged to the Elsaff Honschaft in the parish of Asbach and was under the administration of the Electoral Cologne Office of Altenwied . It probably appeared in a document for the first time in 1660 during an inventory in the area of the Altenwied office, when a farm on the "Seusen Wiese" is mentioned. 1808 counted the place, which is now the "1. Part “belonged to the Honschaft Elsaff, seven houses. From an ecclesiastical point of view, Sauerwiese had been part of Buchholz (then a branch of Asbach) at least since the beginning of the 19th century . In Prussian times (from 1815) the place remained a part of the Honschaft, later the municipality of Elsaff. In 1830 it was still given the name Sauerwies in censuses .

In 1832, the construction of station 55 of the Prussian optical telegraph began in Sauerwiese, which began its work the following year. The distance to the northern neighboring station in Söven (near Hennef ) was 8.6 km, the distance to the south in Manroth (near Bertenau ) was 8.9 km. The section of the telegraph between Cologne and Coblenz and thus also the station in Sauerwiese was discontinued in 1852.

By 1858/59 a one kilometer long connecting road was built west of Sauerwiese, running through the Mußer Heide between the then district roads Niederdollendorf - Kircheib in the north and Honnef - Altenkirchen in the south. Around 1914 there was a land consolidation , in which the boundaries of the communities Elsaff, Oberpleis and Aegidienberg - which were previously located at the Mußer Chapel at the high point of the heather at 304 m above sea level. NN met - the course of the connecting road were adapted in favor of Elsaff. At the end of the 1930s, the air force's Eudenbach airport was set up on the Mußer Heide . In the course of the clearing of the site, the Mußer Chapel had to be closed in 1936, and a new chapel was then built in Sauerwiese by 1938. The connecting road leading through what will later be the airfield was also demolished and relocated to the east, directly on the outskirts of Sauerwiese.

As part of the Rhineland-Palatinate administrative and territorial reform , the municipality of Elsaff was dissolved on March 16, 1974 and Sauerwiese was incorporated into the municipality of Buchholz (Westerwald) as part of the Buchholz parish.

The Marienkapelle in Sauerwiese replaced a previous building that was plastered with clay from around 1830 on the Mußer Heide. It was built in 1937 by a descendant of the original builder on its own property on a dirt road and consecrated in 1938. It is a rectangular, white plastered stone building only 6 m² in size with a semicircular end and an open porch; at the top it is closed off by a slated gable roof with bell towers. Inside there is the statue of the Virgin Mary with child from the previous chapel , which the builder had brought from Kevelaer . The chapel is still looked after by his family (status: 2010).
