history

Wiedenhof was formerly the name for a parish seat. It was also called parish, church, parish or pastorate. The name could be proven until the 15th century and is derived from Widembhof (the courtyard dedicated to the church). A Wiedenhof served the pastor as a source of income and residence at the same time at a time when the clergy were not yet paid from church tax revenue or directly from the parishes.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , shows that the living space had a courtyard as early as 1715, which is labeled as Widenhof and designated as Freihof. Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Wechhoff . 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 Wiedenhof . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area also under the name Wiedenhof . From the Prussian new admission of 1892, the place is regularly recorded as Wiedenhof on measuring table sheets .

In 1822, eight people lived in the place categorized as a house, which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the Overath mayor in the Mülheim am Rhein district .
