The location arose from a Kotten , which is already recorded under this name in maps of the 18th and 19th centuries. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 records the location now consisting of four houses under the name An der Bratwurst .

In 1815/16 there are 23 inhabitants. According to the topographical-statistical description of the Royal Prussian Rhine Provinces from 1830, 30 inhabitants lived in Bratwurst . In 1832 Bratwurst belonged to the Mirker Rotte of the rural outskirts of the parish and the city of Elberfeld . The place, which was categorized as Kotten according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , was called An der Bratwurst and at that time had two residential buildings and two agricultural buildings. At that time, 27 residents lived in the place, including one Catholic and 26 Protestant.

Westfalenweg 178 (2015)

In the neighborhood of Bratwurst were the contemporary courtyards and localities Sonnenschein , An der Roster , Am Gebrannten , Am Winkel , Am Lübertshäuschen , An der Lanter and An der Schneis , which today have mostly also merged into the urban development. On the Wuppertal city map from 1930, Bratwurst is still labeled as a separate location, after which the location name is no longer used.

Today's Westfalenweg was an important coal route between Sprockhövel and the then independent town of Elberfeld in the 19th century . Bratwurst was on this busy old street .

Until 1929, Bratwurst was on the city limits of the then independent Lord Mayor of Elberfeld to the Dönberg farmers of the Hardenberg mayor (renamed Neviges in 1935). The far southern part of Dönberg was split off from Hardenberg-Neviges with the municipal reform of 1929 and assigned to the new city when Wuppertal was founded, so that Bratwurst was no longer a border town.

The remainder of the Kotten Bratwurst, the house at Westfalenweg 178, was put down for redevelopment at the beginning of 2016.
