etymology

Attempts to interpret the name of the court have so far been unsuccessful. According to Hans Brangs, the name could have come from the fact that the estate could possibly have been created in honor of Saint Catherine . However, all attempts to link the court name with membership of the Gräfrath monastery fail because the name has existed as a field name since the 14th century.

According to Dittmaier , it is therefore more of an old phonetic form of the tree name maple : Urgerm. * ahira- , dan. aer , in Rhenish dialects also ire , eren , berg. hear .

history

The court was first mentioned in a document in 1374 and was a watermill on the Nümmener Bach until the 20th century . Up until the 19th century, this courtyard was called Zur Große Ehren , while today's Ehrenberg was called Zur kleine Ehren . The latter appears for the first time in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen , by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715 and is recorded there as Kl. Irren . It remains unclear whether the two farms used to belong together and whether Ehren was also owned by the Gräfrath monastery.

The Ehrener Mühle belonged to the Itter Honschaft within the Solingen office . The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 shows the Ehrener Mühle with the mill symbol and honors as Zum Ehren . The Prussian first recording from 1844 record the living spaces as Ehrener M. , also with a mill symbol, and honors .

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, the Ehrener Mühle belonged to the Wald mayor's office . In 1815/16 two residents lived in the village. In 1830/1832 Ehrener Mühle belonged to the first village honors within the mayor's office, where it was located in corridor II. ( Wood ). The place, which was categorized as a fruit mill according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf and called an Ehrnermühle , had two houses, a mill and two agricultural buildings at that time. At that time 37 residents lived in the place, six of them Catholic and 31 Protestant denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with two houses and 18 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1885, three houses with 15 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the district had three houses with 26 inhabitants, for 1905 three houses and 17 inhabitants were given.

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, the Ehrener Mühle residential area became a district of Solingen. The mill was probably converted into a residential building in the late 1950s, the upper ditch and pond were filled in, and the water wheel and gear were removed. At the beginning of the 2000s, a rainwater retention basin was built by the Bergisch-Rheinischer Wasserverband south of Ehren, at the location of the old Ehrener Kotten in the valley of the Nümmener Bach .
