history

Demmeltrath existed in the form of a Bergische Hofschaft at least around the year 1300. At the time of simple land transport, the place was a stop for horse-drawn vehicles and thus a place of transport at a time when country roads were hardly developed. Demmeltrath was on the connecting road between  Benrath  and Graefrath, which was later  expanded into a  Provincial Road via Wald,  Ohligs  and  Hilden , the Provincial Road Benrath – Foche . The court belonged to the Scheid honors within the Solingen office .

Erich Philipp Ploennies recorded the farm in 1715 in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen, and named it Demelrad . The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as Demelrath and the Prussian first survey of 1844 also as Demelrath . In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is again listed as Demelrath .

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, Demmeltrath belonged to the Wald mayor's office . In 1815/16 112 people lived in Demmeltrath, which is known as the village, in 1830 128 people . In 1832 the place was part of the Second Dorfhonschaft within the mayor's office forest, there it was in the corridor III. ( Scheid ). The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf government district , had a public building, 19 residential buildings and 18 agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 79 residents lived in the village, eleven of them Catholic and 68 Protestant. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with 28 houses and 203 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, 27 houses with 171 inhabitants are given for Demmeltrath. In 1895 the district had eleven houses with 82 inhabitants, in 1905 twelve houses and 81 inhabitants are given.

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, the Demmeltrath court became a district of Solingen. In the post-war period after the Second World War , Demmeltrath experienced an unprecedented building boom, the construction of apartment buildings quickly blurred Demmeltrath's former court character. The last houses numbered to the street name Demmeltrath were renumbered on April 2, 1976 to Focher Straße as part of the street name reorganization program for the court . Isolated, slated half-timbered houses are on the mountain slope to Demmeltrath Bach, hidden behind the residential complexes on Focher Straße, but still exist today.
