Schneppruthe is a district in the Hand district of Bergisch Gladbach .
history
The name Schneppruthe was based on the old settlement name Schneppruth , which is recorded in the original cadastre at the confluence of today's street with Handstraße. The Schneppruthe farm was a medieval farm , which was first documented as Sneprode in 1449 .
etymology
The name is derived from the Middle High German snepfe (= snipe / bird species) and ruote (= rod, rod, rod). This results in the reference to bird trapping, which was widespread in the Bergisch region. For this purpose liming rods were used in particular , but also other catching devices with which the birds were lured.
church
The Evangelical Holy Spirit Church is in Schneppruthe at the confluence with Handstrasse.
