The location arose from a settlement that was mentioned in a document as early as 1675 as Branden and in 1702 as Am Branden . The Prussian first recording from 1843 records the location under the name of burned .

In 1832 Am Gebrannten belonged to the Mirker Rotte of the rural outskirts of the parish and the city of Elberfeld . Which according to the statistics and topography of the district of Dusseldorf as Ackergut categorized place had at this time two houses and three agricultural buildings. At that time, nine people lived in the village, all of whom were Protestant.

In the vicinity of Am Gebrannten were the contemporary courtyards and locations An der Rost (1930: An der Roster), Bratwurst , Am Winkel , Am Lübertshäuschen , An der Lanter and An der Schneis , which today have mostly also merged into the urban development .

Around 1970 the street routing through the original courtyard was abandoned and extensive residential developments with single and multi-family houses were built along the newly built Hermann-Ehlers-Straße . As a result, Am Gebrannten lost its independent location, but the name was transferred to the entire area of ​​development.
