history

In the Middle Ages , Vierwinds was located at the intersection of the then important paths between Bonn and the Wiedtal and Rheinbreitbach and Eudenbach . The place name probably describes either the location of the place at the highest point of today's Hallerbach – Windhagen road, which is to be "twisted" (overcome) here, or the "twisting" of the two former main traffic routes that crossed here. The vernacular name of the place is "Verwint".

For a long time one of the first or only houses in Vierwinds was an inn with a bowling alley , which burned down at the end of the 19th century. In the 1885 census , the Vierwinden residential area had eight residents in one building. By 1905, a new house was built on the former property of the inn, which was also used as a bakery. At the time of the Second World War, four winds comprised three buildings that housed all of the craft businesses, but suffered severe damage towards the end of the war.

After a commercial area was developed on the autobahn , in which the Wirtgen company, among others , has settled, numerous new residential buildings were built between Vierwind and the center of Windhagen and the Oberwindhagen district. Since then, Vierwinds has been part of the closed development of Windhagen and is no longer an independently named part of the municipality. The Vierwindener Straße indicates the location of the district today .
