history

The farm Feld ( super campum ) near Wald is already mentioned in the collection register of the Gerresheim Monastery as an interest-bearing farm ; the register was created under Abbess Guda (1212/1232). It is possible that Feld's roots go back to the beginning of the 13th century. In the year 1715 in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen , by Erich Philipp Ploennies the living space with a yard is recorded and named as a field . The court belonged to the Itter Honschaft within the Solingen office. Another Hof Feld is shown to the northeast, it is today's Felder Hof. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as Adamsfeld, as does the Prussian first survey from 1844. The farm is listed without a name in the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871.

After the establishment of the Mairien and later mayor's offices at the beginning of the 19th century, the place belonged to the mayor's office in Wald , where it was located in corridor I. ( Wittkull ). 1815/16 lived 18 in 1830, 21 people in a hamlet called Adam field . In 1832 the place was part of the first village honors within the forest mayor's office. The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had five residential buildings and five agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 23 residents lived in the village, all of whom were evangelicals. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with 20 houses and 114 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, 34 houses with 250 inhabitants are given for Adamsfeld.

In the second half of the 19th century, the place lost its independent position as a court and merged into the expanding residential and commercial areas of the Walders core town. The place was originally on the banks of the Krausener Bach , which rises near Demmeltrath , flowed in an east-west direction through a small valley, including via Adamsfeld, and finally flows into the Itter at Unteritter . At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries In the 19th century, the impassable Bachtal was filled in and the Krausener Bach piped up from its source ; it only rises to the surface again at Hofschaft Krausen . The newly laid meadow road through Adamsfeld was built on a dam at that time . The former Bachtal can still be traced today based on the course of the Wiesenstrasse from Heukämpchenstrasse to Wittkuller Strasse.

C. Grossmann Stahlguss was founded in 1853. The company produced for the coal and steel industry on the extensive area between Adamsfeld, Felder Hof and Sorgehaus. After decades of continuous growth in what was in the meantime the oldest existing steel foundry in Germany, the decline of mining in Germany also resulted in the decline of the company, as the sales markets ceased to exist. Bankruptcy has been filed several times since the end of the 20th century and the workforce has been successively reduced. In 2016, operations were finally completely shut down. There are numerous plans for the future of the extensive area at Adamsfeld, including the construction of a new commercial and residential area.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the city of Wald built a large market square in the southwest of Adamsfeld , on which the weekly market has been held ever since . From 1917 it was called Hindenburgplatz before it was renamed Freiheitsplatz in 1922 . With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Adamsfeld became a district of Solingen. In 1933 the Freedom Square near Adamsfeld was renamed Hindenburgplatz again. At the end of the 2000s, there were extensive discussions in local politics in Solingen about the legitimacy of honoring Paul von Hindenburg with a street name against the background of his role in connection with Hitler's appointment as Reich Chancellor . Finally, in 2010, the city council decided to rename the square to Walder Marktplatz after the name Pina-Bausch -Platz could not gain acceptance among the population.

The place name Adamsfeld is no longer recorded in the city maps today. Most of the court houses belonging to the place were demolished.
