Brodhausen is a district of Immekeppel in the city of Overath. The place name is a -hausen name with the personal name Brod (possibly a clan or tribal name) as a definition word.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani des Erich Philipp Ploennies, Blatt Amt Portz, shows that the place of residence already had two farmsteads in 1715, which are labeled as Brofhusen. Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his chart of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Brodhagen. It shows that the place was part of the Honellschaft Vellingen in the parish of Hohkeppel at that time.

The Sülztalbahn once rolled here. The “Sülztalbahn” doesn’t actually exist officially. Officially, the railway line was called “Cologne-Lindlar” after its completion and was divided into several operating sections from Kalk-Süd via Cologne-Mülheim, Cologne-Dellbrück, Bergisch Gladbach and Rösrath to Lindlar.
A railway line that, in part, still exists very much alive, but has also left numerous traces and has come back to life as a pleasant cycle path.
