Unterhombach is a district in the Herrenstrunden district of Bergisch Gladbach .
history
The name Unterhombach refers to a probably early modern settlement with the name Hombach , which is recorded in the original cadastre west of Herkenrath in the area of today's street Hombacher Weg . To distinguish the settlements from the actual settlement name, the two neighboring settlements Unter (for Unterhombach) and Ober (for Oberhombach) were added. The old spelling "hohnbach" (hohn = Hagen = forest / Niederwald) describes the area surrounding the settlement with forests.
