history

The district got its name after a farm that lay between two streams that flowed into the Naafbach. Apparently two bridges crossed each stream.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the residential area had three farms as early as 1715, which are labeled as fish bridges. Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Visbrucken . It emerges from it that the place was part of the honor of saints in the parish of Overath at that time .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817 as Fischbrugge . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area under the name Fischbrücken . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, the place is regularly recorded as four bridges on measuring table sheets .

In 1822, 24 people lived in the village, which was categorized as a courtyard and known as Viersbröcken , 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 28 inhabitants are given for the place called Viersbröcken . In 1845, according to the survey of the government district of Cöln, categorized as a courtyard and called Viersbrücken , at that time it had five residential buildings with 25 inhabitants, all of them Catholic denominations. The municipality and manor district statistics of the Rhine province show Viersbrücken in 1871 with six houses and 34 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, six houses with 27 residents are given for Viersbrücken . In 1895 the place has five houses with 26 inhabitants and belonged denominationally to the Catholic parish Marialinden, in 1905 three houses and 25 inhabitants are given.
