Location of Dingshaus in Solingen

Dingshaus is a residential area in the Bergisch city ​​of Solingen .

geography

Dingshaus is located on the ridge south of the Lochbach valley in the west of the Solingen district of Mitte , on which Beethovenstraße runs. The original Hofschaft Dingshaus was located directly on today's Beethovenstraße, roughly in the area where today's Ottostraße joins the new administrative building for the Solingen public utilities . South of Ding house are bottom and Mittelgönrath, in the southern valley of Viehbach also extends to the carriageway -developed country road 141 n (L 141n / cattle Bachtalstraße ). To the east of Dingshaus are the Kleinenberg and Kreuzweg . To the north, in the Lochbachtal, are Büschberg and the Scheider Mühle . To the west lies the Hofschaft Höhe .

etymology

The origin of the place name has not been conclusively clarified. However, there is much to suggest that there may be a connection to the judicial system practiced in the Dahl or Gönrath courts . Thing means judgment , a thing is a judge . Perhaps Dingshaus can be traced back to the family name Ding or Dinger , which is still often found in Solingen today.

history

The history of the former Dingshaus court can be traced back to the early 18th century. In 1715 the place is recorded in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen, by Erich Philipp Ploennies with a farm and named as Dingshus . The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as a dinghouse , as does the Prussian first survey of 1844. In the topographical map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is also recorded as a dinghouse .

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, Dingshaus belonged to the forest mayor's office .

The buildings that originally belonged to the Dingshaus farm were laid down early on. At the turn of the 20th century, Ottostraße was laid out, and the entire settlement there was built in the style of Wilhelminian style architecture . With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Dingshaus became a district of Solingen. On the former arable land in the north of Dingshaus between the Höher, the Büschberger and the Beethovenstraße, the new administration building of the Solingen public utilities was built in the early 1980s , which was inaugurated on October 9, 1981. Today, the somewhat remote Dingshauser Straße, which leads to the Mittelgönrath estate, and the Dingshaus bus stop on the 681 trolleybus, are a reminder of the former farm.
