history

Today Dornap going on a living space that in the 19th century desolate has fallen and some 400 meters south-southwest of the station was Dornap ( 51 ° 14 '57.5 "  N , 7 ° 3' 31.1"  O ). This residential area is marked on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 as Dornab and on the Prussian first survey from 1843 as Dornap . In the 19th century Dornap was a residential place in the rural community of Schoeller of the mayoralty Haan (1894 mayoralty Gruiten ) from the Berg Schoeller rule emerged.

The area around Dornap train station appears in 1867 on the general map of the Wülfrath mayor as Dornap station .

The Provinzialstraße between Elberfeld and Düsseldorf was built through the place at the beginning of the 19th century, which was  qualified as Reichsstraße 7 in 1934 and later renamed Bundesstraße 7 . In 1888, according to the community encyclopedia for the Rhineland province , the place had a house with 15 residents.

At the end of the 19th century, the industrial mining of the Devonian mass limestone began in the Dornap / Hahnenfurth area, to which the old Dornap residential area finally fell victim. The name was transferred to the area around the train station east of the original living space. The Neu-Dornap settlement was also founded south of Dornap . Until the North Rhine-Westphalian territorial reform came into force on January 1, 1975, Dornap belonged to the city of Wülfrath, but was then incorporated into Wuppertal. Nevertheless, the former affiliation to Wülfrath is still present, because Dornap still has the Wülfrath telephone area code.

Dornap has always been characterized by limestone mining. Limestone has been extracted here in open-cast mining since the Middle Ages. But the real boom in the lime industry came in the 19th century. This upswing still shapes Dornap today. The large quarries have eaten their way into the landscape, huge spoil heaps look like wooded mountains. In Hahnenfurth, too, the towers of the blast furnaces rise high out of the otherwise peaceful forest landscape. The entire area is shaken every day by blasting work that is necessary to loosen the stone from the rock. In the past, the lime was mainly used for the steel and coal industry in the Ruhr area, today the main part is used in road construction and the chemical industry.

The center of Dornaps in particular suffered from the lime mining, so that it has now completely disappeared. There is no such thing as a center in the true sense of the word, but medium-sized shops and businesses had settled along Düsseldorfer Strasse and Ladestrasse. The petrol station, which has been in Dornap since the 1920s, was the first Shell petrol station in the Düsseldorf-Mettmann district .

railroad

There were two train stations in the Dornap area:

• the former Dornap station on the Wuppertal-Vohwinkel – Essen-Überruhr railway line (the main line of the former Prince Wilhelm Railway Company )
• the former Dornap-Hahnenfurth station on the now partially closed line Düsseldorf-Derendorf-Dortmund Süd (so-called "Wuppertaler Nordbahn" of the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft )

As early as 1847, the lime industry opened up the railroad with the opening of the Dornap (closed in 1971) and Aprath (closed in 1965) stations. The former Aprath station was rebuilt in 2003 as a Wülfrath-Aprath stop as part of the establishment of the S 9 S-Bahn line (KBS 450.9).

Dornap RhE station followed in 1879 (since Dornap-Hahnenfurth was nationalized). This station has been closed for passenger traffic since 1991, the connection point Rheinkalk-Werk Dornap today marks the eastern end of the western section of the "Wuppertal Northern Railway". The S-Bahn line S 28 (KBS 450.28) operated by Regiobahn GmbH currently ends in Mettmann Stadtwald. The work to continue the line with reeving into the "Prince Wilhelm Railway" to Vohwinkel and Wülfrath is in progress. At the end of 2019, the regular service of the Regiobahn to Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof is to begin.
