history

In the local dialect, the place was also called Öngerschte Hasenkamp (= lowest Hasenkamp ).

In the 19th century, Dauka belonged to the outlying villages of the farmers and the parish Dönberg in the mayor's office Hardenberg , 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 from Neviges and incorporated into the newly founded city of Wuppertal with other Neviges villages outside Dönberg, including Dauka. The city boundary between Wuppertal and Neviges ran north of Dauka until 1975, and south of it ran from Neviges to Elberfeld until 1929. Due to 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 now also incorporated into Wuppertal, with the exception of the northern suburbs that remained with Velbert. As a result, Dauka lost its border position.
