Stockberg is a location in the town of Leichlingen (Rhineland) in the Rheinisch-Bergisch district that emerged from a court .

Location and description

Stockberg is located on the L288 state road, which is also called Stockberg here , on the western edge of Leichlingen on the city limits of Langenfeld (Rhineland) . The name Stockberg of the village, which was still independent in the first half of the 20th century, can only be found again as a street name; the place of origin is the closed residential and commercial development. The entire area, which is now closed, is now named after the neighboring Windgesheide residential area .

To the west of Stockberg there were the Leichlinger Sandberge in Langenfeld's urban area , which were largely removed for sand mining. Half of the Heidberg on the outskirts, protected as a natural monument , has been demolished. To the west is the Langenfeld motorway junction . The Am Adler location is directly adjacent to the south , so that historical maps often do not distinguish between the two residential areas. Other neighboring places, mostly those in the western suburbs of Leichlingen, are Kellerhansberg , Hüttchen , Merlenforst , Unterschmitte , Roßlenbruch , Bockstiege and Bahnhof . Ziegwebersberg and Staderhof have retained their independent location.

history

Stockberg was on Sandstrasse , an old road from Aufderhöhe to Opladen and today's state road L288. The map Topographia Ducatus Montani from 1715 shows a farm under the name Stockberg . In the 18th century, the place belonged to the parish of Leichlingen in the Bergisches Amt Miselohe . The Topographic the Rhineland from 1824 shows the location as Stockberg and the Prussian Uraufnahme of 1844 listed him as Schwarzer Adler , the Leichlinger municipality map of 1830 as well as the Black Eagle .

In 1815/16 seven people lived in the village. In 1832 Stockberg belonged to the mayor's office in Leichlingen . The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had nine residential buildings and nine agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 46 people lived in the village, all of whom were Protestant. In 1867 the Gruiten – Cologne – Mülheim railway line was opened east of Stockberg .

In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1885, nine houses with 48 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the place had nine houses with 44 inhabitants, in 1905 15 houses and 110 inhabitants.

From the middle of the 20th century, the gaps in the residential and commercial development with the neighboring residential areas were closed and Stockberg became part of the western suburb of Leichlingen.
