history

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, Blatt Amt Porz , proves that the place already existed in 1715 and was called Seelbach . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Sehlbach . It shows that Unterselbach was part of the Bensberg community at that time.

Under the French administration between 1806 and 1813 the Porz office was dissolved and Unterselbach was politically assigned to Mairie Bensberg in the canton of 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 .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 as Nieder Selbach and on the Prussian first survey of 1840 as Unter Selbach . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, it is regularly recorded as Unterselbach on measuring table sheets .

In 1822, 25 people lived in the town, which was categorized as a farm and called Selbach . In 1830 the place had 36 inhabitants and belonged to Herkenrath . The place, which was categorized as a building property in 1845 according to the overview of the government district of Cologne , had seven houses at that time. At that time 39 residents lived in the place, all of them Catholic faith. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, two houses with 12 inhabitants are given for the place named Unter Selbach . In 1905 the place had two houses and eleven inhabitants and belonged to the parish Herkenrath.

On the map TK 25 from 1971 there is still a residential building, on the map from 1980 the place is no longer shown.
