history

In the 19th century, Brüggen was one of the suburbs of the Dönberg parish in the town of Hardenberg-Neviges, which was renamed Neviges in 1935 . From 1816 to 1861 it belonged to the Elberfeld district and from 1861 to the old Mettmann district . With the municipal reform of 1929, the southern part of Dönberg was split off and incorporated into the newly founded town of Wuppertal with other Nevigeser villages outside Dönberg, the rest of Dönberg with Brüggen initially remained with Neviges. As a result of the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the again divided Dönberg was also incorporated into Wuppertal, with the exception of the northern suburbs that remained with Velbert.
