history

Delle is labeled on the map of the town of Ronsdorf by geometer JW Buschmann from 1790 and on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 as Schirpkotter Delle , on the Prussian new survey from 1892 as Delle .

In 1832 Delle belonged to the Scharpenacker Rotte in the rural outskirts of the city of Ronsdorf . The place, categorized as a day laborer's apartment according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , was called Schirpkottendelle at the time and owned a residential house and an agricultural building at that time. At that time there were eight people living in the village, all of them Protestant faith. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, a house with eleven inhabitants is given.

In 1929 Ronsdorf was merged with other cities and municipalities to form Wuppertal. In 1936, the area around Delle was rededicated as a training area for the newly built Wuppertal barracks as part of the National Socialist armament and the old courtyards, including Delle, were cleared. Until the 1970s, the buildings were used for military exercises and then demolished.
