history

The exact age of this farm is not known, the earliest mention of Allenkotten with a date comes from the Beyenburger official account (accounting of the rent master to the Bergisch-Ducal camera administration ) of the year 1466. It can be assumed, however, that the Kotten is older. Another mention was made in the tax list of 1591. Since Allenkotten is not named as a full yard , but as a Kotten, it is in all probability a split from another yard.

Allenkotten belonged to the court association of the Oberhof Einern and was an allod of the Werden monastery . Territorial was the area around Allenkotten 1324 to 1420 in Brandenburg parish and Gogericht District Schwelm and then went to the bergische Office Beyenburg about where it is part of the Barmer courtyards Association was.

The nearby Schellenbeck was from 1420 the border between the Duchy of Berg and the County of Mark .

Presumably due to a typographical error, the name changed to Altenkotten in the 18th century . With the other farms in the Barmen farming community, Allenkotten was part of the Bergisches Amt Beyenburg until 1806. Ecclesiastically it belonged to the Schwelm parish until its own parish in Barmer was established in the 17th century.
