Location and description

Today the former residential areas Untervilkerath, Steinhaus and Aggerhof have grown together to form a closed settlement area, which forms the core of the Vilkerath district, one of the seven districts of Overath. An industrial park extends between Untervilkerath and the Obervilkerath residential area. A Catholic church, tenement houses, shops, restaurants and bus stops are grouped around a traffic circle depicting a historic moated castle in Untervilkerath.

history

Vilkerath was mentioned in a document in the 13th century as Vilkerode and Wilkerode . The naming probably refers to Untervilkerath, which forms the center of today's Vilkerath district.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , referred to the residential area as Adelichhaus as early as 1715, which is labeled as Filigrad . Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as H Vilkrath . From it it emerges that the place was part of the Honschaft Vilkerath in the parish Overath at that time .

The place is on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817 as Unt. Vilkrath recorded. The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area under the name Unt Vilkerath . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, the location is regularly listed as an Unt. Vilkerath or Untervilkerath recorded.

In 1822, 25 people lived in the place categorized as Hof and designated Unter-Vilkerath , which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the Overath mayor in the Mülheim am Rhein district . For the year 1830 99 inhabitants are given for the place designated as Ober- and Unter-Vilkerath . In 1845, according to the survey of the government district of Cöln, categorized as a farm and designated as Unter-Vilkerath had eight residential buildings with 49 inhabitants, all of them Catholic denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine province lists Untervilkerath in 1871 with six houses and 39 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province from 1888, 15 houses with 82 inhabitants are given for Unter Vilkerath . In 1895 the place had 13 houses with 112 inhabitants, in 1905 19 houses and 103 inhabitants are given.

With the construction of the Siegburg – Olpe railway , Untervilkerath received its own stop, which was replaced by the Vilkerath stop to the east after the First World War, when the track was relocated through the town from the road to Agger.

The gaps between Steinhaus and Untervilkerath were closed as early as the beginning of the 20th century, and those at Aggerhof from the middle of the 20th century, so that the Vilkerath area was created.
