Etymology and history
The name Am Schlagbaum goes back to a turnpike at this location. A coal route from Sprockhövel to Elberfeld (here today's Kohlstrasse , so named because of this ), on which coal was transported from the mines in the southern Ruhr area to the factories in Wuppertal at the end of the 18th century and in the first half of the 19th century, led to the place into Uellendahler Strasse , which was expanded in 1825 as a road from Elberfeld via Hatzfeld and Schmiedestrasse to Sprockhövel and Witten . The barrier marked an Elberfeld control point on these traffic routes.
In the 19th century, Am Schlagbaum belonged to the Mirker Rotte of the Lord Mayor's Office in Elberfeld . The place is unlabelled on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and marked as a turnpike on the Prussian first survey from 1843 .
No inhabitants are given for 1815/16. The location, which was categorized as arable property according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district in 1832 , was designated as am Schlagbaum and at that time had three residential buildings and five agricultural buildings. At that time, 17 residents lived in the village, all of them Protestant faith.
