history

Next to the residential area Aue, which was first mentioned in 1312 as de Aue , the Auer Kotten stood on the Wupper. This was also called the First Kotten because it was the first of three Gräfrath Schleifkotten on the river towards Sonnborn . It is already recorded in 1715 in the map series Topographia Ducatus Montani  by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Solingen . However, when it was built is not known.

In the 18th century, a grinding mill , the Auer Mühle , was built in addition to the grinding bowl . The Auer Kotten was then expanded to include an inner Kotten in the 19th century. The water wheels were only supplied with water through the upper ditch , the outer and inner kottes were opposite each other, while the mill was below the two kottes. The area often bore the name Picardsaue , as the mill and Kotten had been owned by the Picard family since the 19th century. By 1900 the inner hut and the mill had already been torn down, but the outer hut was still in operation. The half-timbered building burned down in 1933. At the place of the Kottens a new building was built, which is now a residential building.

The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 already shows the Aue residential area unlabelled. The Prussian first recording from 1844 lists the place as Aue , as does the topographical map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871.

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, Aue belonged to the Gräfrath mayor's office . In 1815/16 there were 16 inhabitants, in 1830 19 people lived in the place categorized as a hamlet and known as Rottland . In 1832 Aue was still part of the Honschaft (Ketz-) Berg within the Gräfrath mayor. The place, which was categorized as a Hofstadt according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had two residential buildings, a factory or mill and eight agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 26 residents lived in the place, two of them Catholic and 24 Protestant denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with ten houses and 72 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1885, nine houses with 47 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the district had four houses with 16 inhabitants, in 1905 five houses and 23 inhabitants are given.

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Aue became a district of Solingen.
