The village Schmitz height is a municipality Lindlar in Oberbergischer Kreis, in North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).

Location and description

Schmitzhöhe is 8 kilometers west of Lindlar on the ridge between the Sülz and Lennefetal. Several streams flow through the village, which feed the Sülz or Lennefe (also known as "Lennefer Bach"). The place is divided into the old Schmitzhöhe, which has grown enormously in recent years, and the Neuschmitzhöhe district, which quickly outstripped the old place in population.

history

Schmitzhöhe was first mentioned in a document in 1478, namely "Heynrich zor Hoe is a seal witness in a deed of foundation of Geirhart van Ceppel". The place name component "Schmitz" refers to "Schmied". The spelling of the first mention was Hoee .

In 1646 the chapel of St. Rochus and St. Sebastianus was built in Schmitzhöhe. In 1754 she received a bronze bell. The school in Schmitzhöhe was re-established in 1817, a new schoolhouse was built in 1855/56, at which time 179 pupils were being taught in one class. Around 1830, around 77 people lived in Schmitzhöhe (based on: "Topographical-Statistical Description of the Royal Prussian Rhine Provinces", published in 1830 in the Nicolaische Buchhandlung in Berlin). In 1870, the school boards of the Hohkeppel and Schmitzhöhe schools presented the government with a plan to reorganize the school districts in order to put an end to the overcrowding of the schools. On the basis of this plan, a new school was built in Kalkofen , which was moved into in 1877. The building is now a residential building. The Schmitzhöhe primary school still exists today.

Due to § 10 and § 14 of the Cologne Act , the municipality of Hohkeppel was dissolved in 1975 and extensive parts of Lindlar were incorporated. Including Schmitzhöhe.
