Etymology and history
Aue is a topographical name that indicates its location on the banks of the Wupper ( river floodplain ). This type of place name suggests that the Aues was formed before the turn of the millennium.
The earliest recorded mention of Aue as In der Awen comes from the Beyenburger official account (account of the rent master to the Bergisch-Ducal camera administration ) of the year 1466. This shows that the residential area Aue was already divided into a larger and a smaller one at that time Vollhof , which belonged to a Hilla in the Awen and a Hanß in the Awen .
Due to the inadequate sources, it is not documented, but it is possible that Aue was one of the " goods in Barmen " (" Bona de Barme ") in the Electorate of Cologne, mentioned in 1244 and owned by Count Ludwig von Ravensberg as an allod the Count von Berg passed under Count Heinrich IV . Territorially, the area around Aue was part of Unterbarmen from the late 14th century in the Bergisch Amt of Beyenburg . Ecclesiastically it belonged to the parish of Elberfeld until its own parish in Barmer was established . In 1641 the size of the floodplain is given as 45 acres .

The two settlement areas are separated by the course of today's Oberbergische Strasse . With the other farms in the Barmen farming community , Aue was part of the Bergisches Amt Beyenburg until 1806.
