First documented in 1218 as a tax deductible to the convent Stift Gerresheim. Presumably, lime was burned here in small kilns for centuries. There was hardly any farmland here.

"... The Bracken farm was a very old farm. In the records of the farms of the Gerresheim monastery, a Justicius de bracken is mentioned as early as 1218/31.

Well-known is: the large Bracken, the Brücken-Bracken or Kleine Bracken and the Bracker Mühle. Of the three farms, only the youngest remained, the Bracken Bridge (today's address Bracken 8, 42781 Haan-Gruiten) ... "

Hiking

"Along the municipal roads "Winkelsmühler Weg" and "Bracken" a real clear-cut was carried out in places. Above all, old ash and beech trees were felled here - because of various diseases, it is said." (rp-epaper.s4p-iapps.com/artikel/1014195/18085763)
In fact, the dystopian sight of the former forest areas frightens us, but on the other hand the unobstructed view gives the rainy Düssel-Bach almost a river character.
