Volbach is a district in the Herkenrath district of Bergisch Gladbach .

history

Originally there was a medieval settlement in Volbach . This name was transferred to other court foundations in the area in the following centuries. Further differentiation was therefore necessary. The Topographia Ducatus Montani by the Bergisch cartographer Erich Philipp Ploennies shows three neighboring individual farms in 1715, which are jointly labeled as Volbach . The original cadastre from 1827 shows a Volbach name group , which is composed of the settlements of Volbach, Ober-Volbach, Veldersvolbach and Hinterwinds Volbach . The Untervolbach residential area was probably not built until after 1930, as it was not yet shown on earlier measurement table sheets .

According to the overview of the government district of Cologne , the place categorized as a mill and farm had nine houses in 1845, apparently together with the Volbacher mill and probably together for all farms. At that time there were 62 residents in the local association, all of them Catholic. In 1905, all of the localities in whose names the name Volbach appeared comprised a total of 21 residential buildings with 116 inhabitants.

Volbach is also the name of the brook that flows through the aforementioned villages and flows into the Lindlar Sülz in Immekeppel . The names Veldersvolbach and Hinterwinds Volbach no longer exist. The word Volbach means Vogelbach .

Due to the mining activities, the Volbach is contaminated with heavy metals, mainly zinc, which was mined in the apple mine.
