history

The place was on the Heerweg Köln – Wipperfürth – Soest , an important medieval old long-distance road from Cologne via Wipperfürth to Soest . The route of the old Höhenstraße is still used today from the federal highway 506 , apart from small deviations , but at Altensaal it ran up to Schnappe on today's street Altensaal and the subsequent field / forest path.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the place already existed in 1715 as a place with several courtyards and was called Schnappe . From the chart of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 by Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking it emerges that Schnappe was part of the Bechen Honschaft in the parish of Kürten in the district court of Kürten at that time . He names the place as Schneppe .

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813, the Steinbach office was dissolved and Schnappe was politically assigned to the Mairie Kürten in the canton of Wipperfürth in the Elberfeld arrondissement . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Kürten in the Wipperfürth district . At that time, Schnappe belonged to the municipality of Bechen.

The place is recorded on the topographical recording of the Rhineland from 1824 as Schnappen and on the Prussian first recording from 1840 as Schnappen . From the Prussian new recording from 1892 he is on Ordnance Survey regularly as Grab recorded.

In 1822, 13 people lived in the place that was categorized as a courtyard and called Schnappe . The place, which was categorized as a courtyard with a chapel according to the overview of the government district of Cologne in 1845 , had three houses at that time. At that time, 26 residents lived in the place called Schnappe, all of them of Catholic faith. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province are listed by Schnappe in 1871 with four houses and 38 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province from 1888, four houses with 25 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the place had four houses and 24 residents. In 1905 the place had four houses and 23 residents and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish of Bechen.

In 1927 the mayor's office in Kürten was transferred to the office of Kürten. In the Weimar Republic in 1929 the offices of Kürten were merged with the municipalities of Kürten and Bechen and Olpe with the municipalities of Olpe and Wipperfeld to form the office of Kürten. The Wipperfürth district became part of the Rheinisch-Bergisch district on October 1, 1932, with its seat in Bergisch Gladbach .

In 1975 the current municipality of Kürten was established on the basis of the Cologne Act , to which, in addition to the offices of Kürten, Bechen and Olpe, a sub-area of ​​the city of Bensberg with Dürscheid and the surrounding areas was added.

Maternus Chapel

Maternus Chapel

The Maternus Chapel, a stone structure with an unknown date of origin, is in Schnappe. It may have originated during the Thirty Years' War , as St. Maternus is the patron saint of epidemics. The chapel was first mentioned in 1673. The residents or wealthy landlords, e.g. B. suspected the lords of the nearby manor Pohl . The chapel is included in the list of architectural monuments in Kürten .

Nowadays the chapel is used on the saint's name day or on special occasions.
