history

The location arose from a Kotten , which is already recorded as the great stop on the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715. The old main street between Elberfeld and Hardenberg , now Hainstraße , ran through Amschlag even before Nevigeser Straße was built as Chaussee (1833 to 1835) . The name refers to a customs station with a turnpike ( great stop = raise customs in the sense of road tolls ) on the Altstrasse between the Bergisch Amt Elberfeld and the rule Hardenberg , whose common border ran only a few hundred meters further north.

On April 17, 1801, the company Wilhelm Ruckert, Haarhaus and Kons. received a certificate to operate an iron mine . However, it is unclear whether ore was also mined here .

In 1815/16 there are 62 inhabitants. In 1832, Amschlag belonged to the Katernberger 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 Düsseldorf administrative district , had two residential buildings and four agricultural buildings at the time. At that time, 30 residents lived in the village, including one Catholic and 29 Protestant.

In the 20th century, the local situation gradually lost its independence and is now part of a closed residential development that bears the name Am Bredtchen .
