History and etymology

The location arose from a settlement area that was already recorded under this name in the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824. The name of the place goes back to an old inn , in which the coal drivers , who in the 17th to the 19th centuries transported the fuel on coal routes from the Ruhr area to Elberfeld , stopped and drank schnapps for one stüber per glass .

In 1832 the place belonged to the Uellendahler Rotte of the rural outskirts of the parish and the city of Elberfeld. The place, categorized as Kotten according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , was referred to as am Schnappstüber and at that time owned a residential building and an agricultural building. At that time 19 people lived in the village, all of them Protestant faith. No residents are named for 1815/16.

Until the first third of the 20th century, the place was on the city limits of the two large cities Elberfeld and Barmen , both districts of Wuppertal since 1929.
