history

The place emerged from a farm that was mentioned in a document as early as 1496 and belonged to the farm association of the Sonnborn Church until at least 1522 . In 1582 it belonged to the Elberfeld Farm Association, which was an allod of the Cologne Archbishopric and was in the office and parish of Elberfeld .

In 1815/16 the place is documented without residents. On the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824, the location is labeled "Lemersbg". On the original caster map from 1826 in corridors VII and SI as "Boltenbergs Hof".

In 1832 Boltenberg belonged to the Pickartsberger Rotte in the rural outskirts of the Elberfeld parish . Which according to the statistics and topography of the district of Dusseldorf as Ackergut categorized place was as On Läumersberg called and had at this time two houses and five farm buildings. At that time, three residents lived in the village, all of whom were Protestant.

The Villa Baum (also "Villa Boltenberg")

On the map from 1843 the location is designated as Boltenbg , on later maps as Boltenberg . The cadastral register from 1866 names Peter Benninghoven as the owner of the property. Three years later, in 1869, the farm belonged to the widow Jacob Erlenbruch from Sonnborn, who sold the estate to Hugo Baum in the same year . Baum had a Swiss style summer villa built with a larger garden on the site. In 1876 Hugo Baum acquired the neighboring Pickartsberg and Hülsen estates.

In 1882 Maria Baum, née Blank, bought Villa Boltenberg from her brother-in-law. The company Wilhelm Boeddinghaus & Co. took over non-built-up areas from Baum's possession. Maria Baum lived in the villa with her children and grandchildren in the summer until her death in 1888. Boltenberg was then inherited by the two children Selma Boeddinghaus, born Baum and Gustav Baum , and remained in the joint property until 1902.

Around 1900 the company Wilhelm Boeddinghaus & Co. had the area around the Boltenberg developed through roads. Coming from Sonnborn, the new street leads in a wide arc around Boltenberg. On December 4, 1900, the Baum siblings acquired the site between Villa Boltenberg and Neue Straße and had it landscaped, known as the “new facility”. In 1902 the area was divided between the siblings, the actual Boltenberg with the villa was given to Gustav Baum. Selma Boeddinghaus received the eastern land acquired in 1900.

From April 1902 to September 1903, the old Villa Boltenberg in the Swiss style was replaced by a larger villa. Heinrich Plange was the architect of the new Villa Baum (also Villa Boltenberg ) in the English country house style. After Gustav Baum's death, his only son, Gustav Baum jr. with his wife Emmy, born Schlieper, opened the villa in May 1932.
