Etymology and history
The compound Cleefkothen is made up of Clef , a name derived from the Latin clivius (hill, slope) for steep slope , cliff , and Kot / Kothen , a widespread form of Kotten . The name means something like house on a slope . Other names were Clefkot (1715), Auf dem Kleffkotten (1832), Cleefkothen (1864), Kleefkothen (1868/70 to 1883).
The location arose from a court that was recorded as Clefkot on the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies as early as 1715 . In the neighborhood of Cleefkoten were the contemporary courtyards and localities Theishahn , In den Stöcken , Hatzenbeck , Funkloch and Wolfhahn , which today have mostly also merged into the urban development. In 1815/16 the place had 16 inhabitants.
In 1832 the place belonged to the wood and Eichholzer Rotte of the rural outskirts of the parish and the city of Elberfeld . According to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , the place, which was categorized as an arable property and a craftsman's apartment, was called Auf dem Kleffkotten and at that time had three residential buildings and two agricultural buildings. At that time 32 residents lived in the place, one Catholic and 31 Evangelical faith.
The street Am Cleefkothen was named on January 18, 1910. The western part up to Friedrichsallee was added to Ravensberger Straße on April 18, 1968.
