Location of Unterheide in Bergisch Gladbach

Unterheide is a district in the Asselborn district of Bergisch Gladbach .

history

The name Unterheide refers to the early modern settlement of Heide , whose courtyards were subordinate to the court court of the Herkenrath Fronhof. As far as the word heather appears in connection with a place name in the region , these settlement names are derived from the location on the Bergisch heather sand strip. Around 1800 the determinant was supplemented with "upper" and "lower" to distinguish it. The Herkenrath church bank regulation of 1630 ( "order of the church benches dahier zo Herkenrath" ) only mentions the general term guiter zur Heyden . The original cadastre already distinguishes between Oberstheide and Unterstheide .
