Name interpretation

Öhde is derived from Öge and means damp lowland . It was first mentioned in 1591. As a toponym, the name characterizes the location in the valley on the banks of the Wupper. In the course of time the name changed to desolation . In the middle of the 19th century, the northern part was referred to as In the Barren , the middle part In the Thick Barren, and the southern part In the Wild Barren . At the beginning of the 20th century, In der Öde became Oehde , In der wild Öde became Wildeoehde . In addition to Oehde , the spelling Öhde was also widespread. On December 11, 1968, the Wuppertal building administration established the uniform spelling of Öhde.

Öhde was since the Middle Ages a center of bleaching of linen yarn . There were several bleaching houses and dye works along the Wupper . The linen fabrics covered the entire Wupperwiesen to fade in the sun. In the area of ​​today's Öhder Straße there were eight bleachers. In 1912 the last natural bleaching was stopped after 450 years in the trade.

In 1885 there were 556 residents in 38 houses in Öhde.

In the Öhder Farbmühle to Johann Friedrich Weskott , the companion of Friedrich Bayer , attempts have made with colors. The textile company JP Bemberg built several factories in Öhde since 1900, which still occupy large parts of the district today.
