history

The first settlement activities in the area of ​​the later municipality of Winterscheid can be traced back to archaeological finds, for example on the Rennenberg , for the 6th century BC. Assume BC, with stray finds from the previous time already indicate passages and temporary storage areas. It is presumed that land seizures by rural settlers took place on a larger scale initially in the 9th century AD. The frequent occurrence of place names that end in -scheid , -roth and -rath indicates that the area was mainly developed between the 11th and 13th centuries, during the great expansion and clearing period. During this period it is essentially owned by the County of Auelgau ; Church lands located here belong, for example, to the aristocratic Kanonissenstift in Herford , according to a document from King Heinrich I of March 18, 927 about vineyard ownership near Honscheid .

In 1131 the place was first mentioned by name as "Winterskeit", namely in a document from Pope Innocent II , in which the Bonn monastery of St. Cassius and Florentius was confirmed to have part ownership of the church in Winterscheid. The document also stipulates the obligation of the people of Winterscheid to give their tithe to the monastery . The Liber valoris of 1308 also mentions the place name "Winterscheit". There are several interpretations of the origin of this name, of which the derivation from the Old High German wintar sceida (= winter (snow) limit) or the derivation of the word part winter from the Latin vinetum (= vineyard), i.e. vineyard limit , are assumed to be the most likely can.

Since the middle of the 14th century at the latest, the burgraves of Drachenfels and the lords of Stein have exercised the patronage and collateral of the Winterscheider church. From 1530, the gentlemen zu Myllendonk followed and - until around 1980 - the gentlemen von Nesselrode .

According to a report prepared in 1791 for the ducal administration in Düsseldorf about the Winterscheid parish , which consists of the Winterscheid, Bröl and Derenbach honors , 186 families with a total of 1,046 people lived in 179 residential buildings at that time.

Winterscheid on the Tranchot-v. Müffling's land survey from 1817/18

The parish of Winterscheid, which has existed for almost 700 years and is now part of the Blankenberg district, became the independent civil parish of Winterscheid by decree of the French Emperor Napoleon I of November 14, 1808 . However, because the number of inhabitants is too small, it does not have its own administration - it continues to share this with Ruppichteroth in the municipality or, from 1813, the municipality of Ruppichteroth.

In 1809 the place had 270 Catholic inhabitants. Together with its suburbs, it forms the Winterscheid Commune (372 Catholic residents) and, with the Bröl and Derenbach Communes, the special community of Winterscheid, which corresponds to the old parish .

From 1838 to 1864 the mayor's office of the integrated community was temporarily in the community of Winterscheid.

The municipality of Winterscheid has an area of 2,364 hectares in 1885 , of which 745 hectares are arable, 153 hectares of meadows and 1,259 hectares of forest, and 306 residential buildings (including uninhabited ones) with 281 households. 1,276 people (630 men and 646 women) live here. 1,274 people are Catholic, two are Protestant.

In addition to Winterscheid, the municipality has the districts of Bechlingen, Beiert, Beierterhof, Bettringen, Brölerhof, Broscheid, Büchel, Dehrenbach, Felderhof, Felderhoferbrücke, Fußhollen, Hatterscheid, Herrnstein, Holenfeld, Hönscheid, Ingersauel, Ingersauelerhof, Litterscheid, Neuenhof, Reiferscheid, Schreckenbergörgen , Sieferhof, Stockum, Thilhove, Tüschenhohn, Winterscheiderbröl and Winterscheidermühle.

In 1925, Winterscheid was connected to the electrical overland network of Union Dieringhausen , but it was not until 1961 that the town received a public drinking water supply . Before that, the inhabitants bought supplies from Dorfbrunnen and Siefen or fetched process water from Bröl and Derenbach.

Winterscheid's municipal independence ends with the coming into force of the law on the municipal reorganization of the Bonn area ( Bonn law ) on August 1, 1969. Since then, it has formed the municipality of Ruppichteroth together with Ruppichteroth, Schönenberg and other smaller districts.

In 1973 and 1981, Winterscheid decided the competition " Our village should be more beautiful " at the level of the Rhein-Sieg district for itself, in 1973, 1975, 1977, 1979 and 1981 silver medals were won in the state competition.

The sights include

In the valley of the Derenbach was the hotel and restaurant "Winterscheider Mühle", which was well-known beyond the local borders and which arose after the Second World War from a small, water-powered fruit mill that was built in 1837 by the farmer Johann Kremer. In addition to the standard wellness facilities, the hotel also had a small wildlife park attached. In the meantime, the Free Evangelical Christian Community in Hennef has bought the property. The previous community center in Hennef is to be relocated to the Winterscheider Mühle because there is no longer enough space. On November 29, 2013, the Christian community applied for a change to the land use and development plan.

On the Stachelberg , south of the Honscheid district, a popular vantage point today marks the southern boundary of Winterscheid with a view of the Siegtal, about 130 m below, and the Westerwald . A ramp installed here is used for launching hang-gliders .

regional customs

  • Great move 2007

  • Klasper as it is used in Winterscheid

In Clasper is an Easter tradition in which, in the Holy Week the bells was replaced by "Clasper". According to tradition, the bells or their tongues, the clappers, are silent from Good Friday to Easter, since they all flew to Rome. Groups of schoolchildren went through the town several times a day from Maundy Thursday to Holy Saturday - at 6:00 am, at 11:30 am, before every mass and prayer and at 7:00 pm - and created the " Klasper " with a small wooden board to which a handle and a movable wooden clapper were attached, a clattering sound. This also included collecting eggs, which were then distributed to the participating children.

After the interest in this old custom had completely waned in the meantime, today children from Winterscheid once again wander through their home town on Good Friday and Saturday.

This custom can be found under other names, for example, in Franconian Switzerland , East Belgium , the Eifel and parts of Austria .

Street names

The street to the maze is based on an earlier maze, a former spruce conservation around the year 1930. This arrangement with an entrance and a seating group at the end was created by Phillip Walterscheid (1869-1951), called blanket Phillip . At that time, the maze was worth a walk for many families in Winterscheid.

The street names Im Wingert and Am Südhang indicate that viticulture dates back to the 9th century . There is documentary evidence of cultivation areas of around 55 acres in the Stachelhardt (also called Stachelberg) on ​​the southern slope of the Siegtal, north of Bülgenauel and south of Honscheid. It was discontinued in the area in the municipality in 1884 and ended altogether in 1907 after the sale of the last church-owned vineyards, which, however, were located in the Bülgenauel district outside the town limits .
