The local situation breaking the residential district of Vohwinkel Center in Wuppertal District Vohwinkel goes back to an old residential area.

etymology

The origin of the name probably goes back to a swampy area. The Rottscheidter Bach , which is now piped up below the Kaiserstraße , is probably meant here .

history

Due to the frequently occurring place name, the possible first mention of the place in a document on February 20, 1363 is uncertain. Another mention took place in 1472.

In 1677, for tax reasons, a survey of the Sonnborn community was made. There an area of ​​15 ha and 75.38 ares is given for breakage . After 1677 the pleated Brucherhäuschen and In der Laien were formed , which were first mentioned in 1830, whereby Brucherhäuschen was already recorded as a brickworks in the 18th century . The split ends in the lay is based on Brucherhäuschen . The cadastral record of the Sonnborn district in 1830 only gives an area of ​​6 hectares and 21.3 acres for Bruch. The Topographia Ducatus Montani (sheet Das Ambt Metmann ) by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715 shows a single courtyard and lists it as Bruck .

Bruch was located in the 19th century in the municipality of Sonnborn, which was split off from the mayor's office in Haan in 1867 and which was renamed the municipality of Vohwinkel in 1888, when territory was ceded to the city of Elberfeld . According to the community encyclopedia of the Kingdom of Prussia from 1888, Bruch owned 25 houses and 347 inhabitants.

In the second half of the 19th century, the location was completely absorbed into the residential development of Vohwinkel. A stop of the Wuppertal suspension railway , which opened in 1901, is located at the location and is named as Bruch .

The building at Kaiserstraße 49, the former Dörner restaurant, has been preserved as an old building from the 17th century. However, the original upper floor of the building was severely damaged in World War II and not rebuilt. A grain distillery was operated here from 1861, and the distillery was expanded in 1904 with the brick building at Kaiserstraße 55. Other older houses are the residential building at Kaiserstraße 61 and the residential and commercial building at Kaiserstraße 65, both presumably from the 19th century.

Today's street

Brucher Straße, which branches off from Kaiserstraße west of the town to the south, was named after this location on February 22, 1900.
