    Tips

    August 1, 2021

    Time has stood still here. At the entrance to the village (coming from the Schevelinger Talsperre via the hiking trail) you cannot stop being amazed. Set in nature like a still life: an old yellow telephone booth, a chewing gum machine and a cigarette machine. The younger ones among us did not get to know this analog age any more. Here a collector has put a small memorial to these things.

    If we go a little further, the next surprise will come. You can see a low, very well-kept, old quarry stone house with an entrance door, window and roof tiles. At second glance, however, you can see that it is not a house, but a wall designed as a house facade. So in the classic sense the house of a "Potemkin village". Before that, some finds from this period: a couple of milk cans, wine barrels, a wine or fruit press, a flight and a couple of old cart wheels, etc.

    A small sign on a quarry stone draws attention to the fact that the local garden design company Uwe Werner has implemented these ideas. From me a big compliment for the beautification of the place.

        In 1263, Niederscheveling was first mentioned under the name "Szeveline".
        A knight "Hartlev von Dromere" paid the Cologne Apostle Monastery annual interest for a property on the Scheveling.
