Location and description

Hofschaft Stursberg II with old buildings

The district extends over part of the ridge between the stream valleys of the Morsbach and the Leyerbach . The state road 81 crosses the district as a high path.

The Hofschaft Stursberg II is located at the exit to the Leyerbachtal. Today's Stursberg I can be found a few hundred meters away from the other courtyard on the slope of the Stursberger Höhe in the direction of Diepmannsbachtal . There used to be a farm here.

Infrastructure

Today there are around a dozen residential buildings on this branched road with little traffic and steep differences in height. Three half-timbered houses below are still reminiscent of earlier times. A special factory for scales, a shipping company and the world market leader in the umbrella business are based here.

A large part of the district is taken up by the grounds of the psychiatric clinic Evangelische Stiftung Tannenhof .

history

There have always been two farms called “Stursberg” in Lüttringhausen . The name is first mentioned in a document in 1350. In 1547 the name "Sturßberch" appeared. In the past there was probably only one large farm that was divided by succession. At times there was even a school in Stursberg II. “Auf Hinterste Stursberg” - Low German “Am Hengerschten Stursberg” - it was what today's Stursberg II meant. Johann Anton Distler worked here in the middle of the 19th century. The citizen, who was born in the village of Lüttringhausen, enjoyed a particularly good reputation as a teacher. Even in the smallest of courts, there was an early concern about the education of the next generation.

Between Stursberg I and II there is a historical language barrier on the Stursberger Höhe, where the “Kranerhof” restaurant with a wonderful panoramic view existed for a long time. Farmers who were at home on Stursberg I and on Kranenholl still spoke two distinct Lower Franconian languages ​​in the 20th century. The Uerdinger or “ek / ech line”, which originated in the 14th to 16th centuries, passes here as part of the Benrath language border. Until 1891 the court was part of Lennep - probably as an external citizen - but was then ceded to Lüttringhausen. "Sturs" is derived from the Germanic term "Stuiri", which means something like "strong" and "distinguished by strength". The formulation linguistically points to “a rounded protruding mountain ridge”, which then apparently means the Kranerhöhe or Stursberger Höhe.
