The location of Dorp or Auf dem Dorp or Auf'n Dorp in the Nützenberg residential area in the Elberfeld-West district of Wuppertal goes back to an old group of farmsteads.
location
The place is located on the western slope of the Nützenberg , west of today's Otto-Hausmann-Ring.
Neighboring locations are: In der Beek , Falkenberg , Hackland , Schörren , Am Schaffstal , Auf dem Nützenberg , Varresbeck and Eskesberg .
etymology
The name Dorp is identical to the High German word village and used to mean arable land or field, today it means a rural settlement.
history
The homestead group 'Dorp' was first mentioned as 'de Ville' in 1302 and from 1702 as 'Auf'm Dorp'. The place name is entered in the address books from 1850, the last time in 1971/72.
According to the map series Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, it is marked with the name 'aufm Dorp'.
In 1815/16 the place had 70 inhabitants. In 1832 Dorp was the titular place of the Dorper Rotte of the rural outskirts of the parish and the city of Elberfeld . The place, categorized as a hamlet according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , was designated as aufm Dorp and at that time had six residential buildings and eleven agricultural buildings. At that time, 78 residents lived in the village, eleven of them Catholic and 63 Protestant.
In the 1870s, the Düsseldorf-Derendorf – Dortmund Süd railway line was laid north of Dorp, and limestone was mined north of this railway line in the Dorp pit around the same time .
The place is almost completely razed by the construction of the federal motorway 46 at the end of the 1960s. The Hofeshaus Otto-Hausmann-Ring 55 from 1783 had been preserved in the west as the historical structure of the homestead group .
Transport infrastructure
The disused railway line Düsseldorf-Derendorf-Dortmund Süd ( Wuppertaler Nordbahn ) touches the Eskesberg at the foot and had a stopping point set up in 1954 under the name Wuppertal-Dorp at the local location Dorp . From here, commuters and schoolchildren could use the railcars for trips to other parts of the city. This was served until 1991. Immediately after the stop the Dorp tunnel comes in an easterly direction , the stone arch bridge Am Dorp over the stretch at the stop was laid down after it was dilapidated in 2003.
Today's streets
The streets Dorpweg and Am Dorpweiher, north of the village, are named after this location. The connecting street Dorpweg that runs from the warrior Heimstraße to On Dorpweiher and on to the Otto-Hausmann-Ring, was named on 14 February 1922. The street Am Dorpweiher that the Dorpweg as access road to the Nützenberger forest runs, received their old name Am Weiher on February 14, 1922. In 1935 the name was changed to Dorpweiher and Am Dorpweiher was recorded from 1936 onwards.
