Werheide is a district in the Alt Refrath district of Bergisch Gladbach .

history

The name Werheide takes up the old trade name Auf der Werheide , which is recorded in the original cadastre north of the Steinbreche in the area of ​​today's street. The Werheide farm originated from a medieval court establishment. The defining word Wer goes back to the Middle High German wer / were (= right of possession, possession) or gewer (= legally secured possession). It referred to the right of use of the respective farmer on the commons . The tub designation Auf der Werheide therefore describes a hallway that belongs to a common land. Another interpretation of the defining word who brings a reference to the ram , according to which it was a pasture for rams.

The place is regularly recorded as Werheide or without a name on the Prussian new record of 1892 and on later measuring table sheets .

Due to the Cologne Act , the city of Bensberg was merged with Bergisch Gladbach to form the city of Bergisch Gladbach with effect from January 1, 1975. Werheide also became part of Bergisch Gladbach.
