history

The Dunkelnberg court can be traced back to the early 18th century when Erich Philipp Ploennies listed it with a court in 1715 on the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen , and named it Dunckelnberg . The place belonged to the Honschaft Schnittert within the office of Solingen. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as Dunkelnberg and the Prussian first survey from 1844 unlabelled. In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is also shown without any labels.

After the establishment of the Mairien and later mayor's offices at the beginning of the 19th century, Dunkelnberg belonged to the Merscheid mayor's office , which was elevated to a town in 1856 and renamed Ohligs in 1891.

1815/16 lived 35 in 1830, 39 people in a hamlet called Dark Mountain . In 1832 the place was part of the Honschaft Schnittert within the mayor's office Merscheid, there it was in the corridor II. Kovelenberger Heide . The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had four residential buildings and one agricultural building at that time. At that time ten residents lived in the place, three of them Catholic and seven Protestant denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with 16 houses and 112 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, 19 houses with 110 inhabitants are given for Dunkelnberg .

Since the end of the 19th century, the development of Ohligs increasingly concentrated in the direction of the Ohligser Heide. The numerous individual courtyards or courtyards were completely absorbed in the closed residential and commercial buildings of the Wilhelminian era . This also applied in parts to Dunkelnberg, even if Dunkelnberger Strasse remained the border of the contiguous development of the city of Ohligs to the west. The Düsseldorf – Ohligs line north of Dunkelnberg was completed on the section from Hilden to Ohligs in 1894, and since 1979/80 it has been used exclusively for S-Bahn traffic .

In 1927 a bird park was founded near Dunkelnberg , today's Solingen bird and animal park . The street that connects Dunkelnberg with the Hermann-Löns-Weg to the south, the street nature park, has been named after this since April 26, 1935. The stadium on Hermann-Löns-Weg was also built as a football stadium south of Dunkelnberg in 1929 before the town union was established . With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, the Dunkelnberg became a district of Solingen. The historic half-timbered house Naturpark 11 in Dunkelnberg , which is shown above, has been a listed building since 1984 .
