In addition, there were over 30 old place names, which were abandoned at different times and for different reasons and are now preserved and recognizable in street names:
- Alpermühle, Koppelweide , Pergenroth , Seifen (now part of Marienhagen)
- Breidenbruch (to Bomig)
- Altklef, Bruch, Dahl, Dörnen, Nürsche, Ohl, Puhl, Zaun, Zirre, Wülfringhausen (to Wiehl)
- Atzenhagen (to Hübender)
- Heckelsiefen, Mühlenau, Perke, Scheidt, Siefen, Soelsiefen (to Oberwiehl)
- Neuenhaus (to Alpe)
- Damte, Dreibholz, Helmerhausen, Kehlinghausen, Mühle, Repschenroth, Unterbantenberg (to Bielstein)
- Chicken mill (to cock)
- Reuschenbach, Kleebornen, Steeg, hut, pastures (to Weiershagen)
- Scheidt (to Drabenderhöhe).
The disclosure of historical settlement names, mostly recorded in the Mercator map of 1575, began as early as 1901/02 with the renaming of the former Drabenderhöhe community to Bielstein (Rheinl.), Which was previously called Repschenroth in the core. Weiershagen followed in 1912 as a collective name for a number of scattered settlements. As a result of brisk construction activity and rapid population growth, further structural mergers took shape in the development phase after the Second World War , especially around the main town of Wiehl. The elimination of many place names combined with the widespread introduction of street names went hand in hand with the municipal regional reform in 1969 (union of the communities Wiehl and Bielstein) and the urbanization documented for the city development (1971) . Last but not least, the reason for this was also postal requirements following the introduction of postcodes.
history
In 1131 Wiehl was first mentioned in a document under the name Wila . It is recorded as Wiell on the Mercator map from 1575 . As a result of the Siegburg settlement of 1604, Wiehl was finally added to the Homburg rulership and thus placed under the Sayn-Wittgenstein family . In 1815 the Congress of Vienna assigned the Homburg area, which practically consisted only of the communities Wiehl and Nümbrecht , to Prussia . At that time Wiehl was still an agricultural place with a rural character, whose excess population had to be fed by migrant work. It was not until the use of the Wiehl's hydropower by the Ohler Hammer since 1860 and electricity generation since 1895, the connection to the railway network in 1897 and the establishment of the Bergische Patentachsenfabrik Wiehl (BPW) in 1898 that the prerequisites for increased population growth were created. The National Socialism left Wiehl a new town hall (today the old one). After the Second World War, Wiehl integrated the influx of bombed out and displaced persons. Through the regional reform , the community was united on July 1, 1969 with Bielstein (including Drabenderhöhe ) and parts of the area of Denklingen (Reichshof) . Bielstein and Wiehl, however, also lost areas, especially with densely populated places in the Aggertal, to Gummersbach. Ründeroth was enlarged by areas of Bielstein, Reichshof by areas of the old community Wiehl. The new community was in 1971, the city charter , so 840 years after its first mention. Since then it has enjoyed solid and steady growth , also thanks to the influx of resettlers and a clever industrial policy.
Population development
Before the territorial reform on July 1, 1969
In the First World War 1914–1918, 157 Wiehlers and 169 Bielstein citizens died.

After the territorial reform on July 1, 1969
With the municipal territorial reform that came into force on July 1, 1969, the territorial status of the independent communities Wiehl and Bielstein ended. In terms of figures, the new community Wiehl explains a considerable decrease compared to the previously added community residents of the old communities Bielstein and Wiehl. Occasionally noticeable declines are also based on statistical adjustments to the resident registration files (deletion of second homes, etc.).

coat of arms
The coat of arms of the Homburg rulership of the princes of Sayn-Wittgenstein served as the basis of today's Wiehl coat of arms. The official description reads: "In red a silver (white) gate castle with a high three-lined pinnacle tower on the right and a low two-lined crenellated tower with a blue dome on the left." The pointed gabled gatehouse has a window over a red, with gold (yellow) Portcullis filled doorway. It consists of a two-tower castle with an open gate and portcullis. A silver (white) St. John's Cross hovers over the low tower . This cross is intended to remind that the Johanniterkommende existing in Marienhagen (Wiehl) had the patronage of the then not yet independent chapel in Drabenderhöhe and the associated buildings. The coat of arms arrangement was adopted on July 1, 1969 when the communities Wiehl and Bielstein merged from the Bielstein coat of arms, supplemented by the cross and approved on April 17, 1972.
Town twinning
- Jokne'am, Israel (partnership agreement 1991)
In 1972, the first contacts between the Jokne'amer trade unionist Moshe Amos and the then city director Dr. Dieter Fuchs quickly found a casual friendship. The visit of a tour group from Wiehl in October 1973 had to end prematurely because of the turmoil and dangers of the Yom Kippur War that suddenly broke out . In 1974 a soccer team from Yokneam made a return visit to Wiehl. Further visits on a private level as well as official tour groups followed. In 1980 the Freundeskreis Wiehl-Yokneam was founded under the chairman G. Hermann, in 1981 the partnership agreement was signed.
- Hem, France (partnership agreement 1993)
First visiting contacts between official representatives from Wiehl and the city of Hem in the French part of Flanders , not far from Lille / Roubaix, took place in 1991. A year later, a delegation from Wiehl visited Hem's schools and associations. In 1992 a joint partnership committee was founded with the task of promoting encounters between young and old of all population groups. Above all, exchange measures between schools and interns were supported. Mutual visits by youth groups, associations, individuals and families strengthened contacts. In 1993 and 1994, official celebrations for the signing of the partnership certificate took place in Wiehl and Hem. In 1995 the “Franco-German Partnership Association Wiehl / Hem” was founded in Wiehl, which, together with the “Comitė de Jumelage” Hem Ville d'Europe, coordinates and promotes the partnership activities with the aim of international understanding.
- Crimmitschau, Saxony
Soon after the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the opening of the inner-German border, Wiehl received a visit from a three-person delegation from the Saxon city of Crimmitschau an der Pleiße in the first days of February 1990 . "We want to pave the way and build a bridge" - the interviewees in Wiehl town hall agreed on this. The then city councilor Reinhold Ley initiated the first contacts after visiting relatives. Just a few days later, a delegation from Wiehl with top representatives from the council and administration set out on a return visit to the GDR in order to prepare the ground for the desired town twinning. Working groups on the subjects of “industry and trade” and “local self-government” have been set up. This was followed by a lively exchange of ideas and experiences during numerous human encounters, and lasting friendships were made. The small Saxon town experienced a real rush of visitors from the Homburg region. Around 250 Wiehlers wanted to be there when the partnership agreement was ceremoniously signed on March 24, 1990 in Crimmitschau. The basis for a fruitful cooperation was laid, not only at the municipal level, but also for trade, craft, industry, gastronomy and, last but not least, for contacts between the clubs in the areas of sport and culture.
Culture and sights

Also worth seeing is the still growing family of roundabouts with which Wiehl surrounds itself and each of which illuminates a special aspect of Wiehl's economic history (see gallery). The Wiehltalbahn is also a listed building . The Weiher-Arkaden building complex has rounded off the commercial and residential development on Weiherplatz since 2006.
Monuments
A war memorial with a soldier statue stands on the edge of the city park below the church. There are memorial plaques in the wall listing the names of the fallen soldiers. In addition, a text excerpt from a speech by former Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker was attached. In Oberwiehl, across from the Oberwiehl primary school, there is a memorial to the fallen German soldiers of the First World War.
Another war memorial stands above the Protestant church in Wiehl-Bielstein. It was moved from its original location near the pedestrian overpass with the construction of the bypass. (Source: Bielstein in old pictures)
The entire Wiehltalbahn is also under monument protection.

traffic
Wiehl is on the federal motorway 4 ( Cologne - Olpe ).
Rail transport
Wiehl is connected to the railway network by the Wiehl Valley Railway . It was reactivated in 1999 by a support group. Steam trains run here on the first Sunday of April to October. In the summer of 2005, the public rail freight station in Wiehl was reopened, shortly afterwards freight traffic resumed. So far, mainly wood has been transported. The municipalities along the route wanted to demolish the railway line due to various road construction plans, which is why they bought the line at the end of 2006 with the help of an interest-free loan from the State Office for Road Construction. A bitter dispute arose between the support group and regional politics, which was noticed throughout Germany due to its choice of words, as the then State Transport Minister Oliver Wittke described the Wiehl Valley Railway as a " stair joke ".
In January 2007, the Cologne Administrative Court ruled in favor of the operators, so rail traffic was initially secured. Regardless of this, the city of Wiehl applied in May 2007 for exemption from railway operations, which the Cologne district government granted in February 2008. In July 2008, the Higher Administrative Court of Münster obliged the state of North Rhine-Westphalia to issue a long-term operating license for the Wiehl Valley Railway, which was issued in August 2008 and is valid until 2056. In November 2008 the Cologne Administrative Court ruled that the demedication of parts of the Wiehl Valley Railway, which had taken place in the meantime, was unlawful and revoked the notices to exempt the railway property from operational purposes.
