Location of third Kotten in Solingen

The third Kotten , also called Burgholzkotten , was a Schleifkotten on the Wupper in the Gräfrath district of Solingen .

geography

The third Kotten was located immediately adjacent to the Friedenstal location on a river meadow at the mouth of the Burgholzbach in the Wupper between the Hofschaft Oben zum Holz and the Flockertsholzer Bach at about 125 meters above sea ​​level . Flockertsberg is located to the northwest, the Steinsiepen residential area is to the north, and state road 74 , which has been converted into a motor vehicle, runs along the eastern bank of the Wupper in the Wuppertal urban area .

history

The third Kotten was from the Auer Kotten (also called Auer Mühle) upstream after a second Kotten halfway down the third Kotten along the Wupper. It was a double dome in half-timbered construction.

In the map series Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Solingen , from 1715 the Kotten is recorded without a name. He belonged to the Ketzberg Honschaft within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 also shows the Kotten unlabelled. The Prussian first recording from 1843 does not show the Kotten at all. Neither is there recorded in the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871.

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, the third Kotten belonged to the Gräfrath mayor's office . In 1832 the Kotten was still part of the Honschaft (Ketz-) Berg within the Gräfrath mayor. The place, which was categorized as Schleifkotten according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had six manufacturing facilities at that time. At that time there were no residents living in Kotten, which was listed under the name Am Wupperflusse . In 1905, the municipality encyclopedia for the Rhineland province lists one house and six residents.

The Kotten still existed in 1897 and was laid down by 1906. The river bed of the Wupper was relocated in the course of the construction work for the state road 74 between the Sonnborner Kreuz and Müngsten in the 1970s. Since then, the Wupper has flowed over the former location of the Third Kotten.

At the Third Kotten, the so-called Devil's Bridge, built in 1899, led over the Wupper, whose name was probably derived from the Devil's Cliffs to the north. At times, tolls were also required on the bridge . In the course of the construction work for the state road 74, the Devil's Bridge fell victim in 1975, which was replaced by the concrete bridge that still exists today .
