Map of the courts in the area of ​​today's Barmen by Erich Philipp Ploennies (1715)

Dahl , later also called Dahlkamp and Dahlsiepen , was both a court in the Bergisch city ​​of Barmen (now part of Wuppertal ) and a place to live in the immediately adjacent rural community of Gennebreck within the Haßlinghausen district .

The Hofschaft emerged from one of the 36 original medieval courtyards of Barmen .

Location and description

The location was between the now disused Loh – Hatzfeld railway line and the Wuppertal North Park at the level of the allotment gardens Winchenbachstrasse . To the south is the Wollspinnersberg ridge in today's Nordpark, to the north the terrain rises to the Haßlinghauser Ridge , the watershed between the river systems of the Wupper and the Ruhr .

The location was partially demolished in the mid-1960s with the construction of the federal motorway 46 , as its route was built right through it. Only the western buildings directly on the motorway have been preserved. Today the area is in the residential area of Hatzfeld in the Barmen district .

Etymology and history

The name Dahl is an earlier form of valley indicates its location in the Leimbach valley .

The exact age of this farm is not known, the earliest mention of Dahl with a certain date comes from the Beyenburger official account (account of the rent master to the Bergisch-Ducal camera administration ) of the year 1466. It can be assumed, however, that the farm is considerably older because it is is named there as one of the Barmer original farms. Other sources indicate that Dahl was a minor split off from Westkotten .

Due to the inadequate early sources, it is possible that Dahl belonged to the " goods in Barmen " (" Bona de Barme ") in the Electorate of Cologne, mentioned as early as 1244 , which were owned by Count Ludwig von Ravensberg as an allod in the possession of the Counts of Berg passed under Count Heinrich IV . Territorially, the area around Dahl was from 1324 to 1420 in the Brandenburg parish and Gogerichts district Schwelm on the border with the farm association Einern in the Gennebreck farmers and then passed to the Bergische Amt Beyenburg in the Barmer area .

In 1715 the farm is listed on the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies as Dahlcampen .

With the other farms in the Barmen farming community , Dahl was part of the Bergisches Amt Beyenburg until 1806. Ecclesiastically it belonged to the Schwelm parish until its own parish in Barmer was established. In the 19th century until 1929, the border between the town of Barmen and the rural community of Gennebreck of the Haßlinghausen district ran directly to the east of the courtyard . On the Gennebrecker side came in 18./19. Century added another residential building to the local area.

The municipality lexicon for the province of Westphalia in 1885 gives a number of three residents for the Gennerbrecker residential area Dahlkamp who lived in a residential building. In 1895 the town of Gennebrecker owned a house with four residents, also in 1905.

With the municipal reform of 1929, the southern part of Gennebreck was split off and incorporated into the newly founded city of Wuppertal. As a result, both parts of Dahl / Dahlkamp came politically to Wuppertal.
