 11: KaltenbroichTogether with Heide, Scherpenbach and Schmalzgrube KALTENBROICH belongs to the district of Sand. In the old days they were the most densely populated parts. Originally the chief occupation was farming but later on the villagers also worked in the paper mill Dombach as well as in mining that took place in the nearby pit Blücher where these days there is the House of the Friends of Nature. They also found work in the mine Selma next to Schmalzgrube and in the mine Britannia near Knoppenbissen. Becoming more and more industrialized in the course of the 19th century Bergisch Gladbach offered a wide range of employment in the factories that were set up. |

Here we can see the particular nature of the hamlet of Kaltenbroich. In former times house numbers seem to have been allocated completely arbitrarily. It often took visitors and rescue services quite some time to get to the right address. This awkward situation only came to an end a long time after World War II by means of administrative restructuring.
