Trotzenburg is a district in the Herrenstrunden district of Bergisch Gladbach .

history

Trotzenburg emerged from a presumably late medieval settlement that was first named Trotzenberg in 1563 . It was mentioned in the original cadastre south of Unterthal . It was a lease of the Johanniterkommende Herrenstrunden . The stock book of the Kommende from 1732 shows that Trotzenburg owned 34 acres of land . It was therefore a relatively small property.

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813 the Porz office was dissolved and the Dürscheid Honschaft , to which Trotzenburg also belonged, was politically assigned to the Mairie Bensberg in the Mülheim am Rhein arrondissement . In 1816 the Prussians converted the Mairie to the mayor's office in Bensberg in the Mülheim am Rhein district . Trotzenburg had nine residents of Catholic faith in 1845.

In 1859 the towns of Trotzenburg and Unterhal became part of the mayor's office in Gladbach .

In the list of the Kingdom of Prussia for the 1885 census, Trotzenburg was listed as the residential area of ​​the municipality of Bergisch Gladbach in the Mülheim am Rhein district. At that time, one house with nine residents was counted.

In 1905 the settlement consisted of a farm with six residents. However, it was not a castle, as the name suggests, rather the word mountain is meant here, as the name from 1563 shows. The defining word defiance goes back to the word Trautz , a derivation of the personal name Trautwein or female first name Traud (el) from Gertrud.
