History, first mention

Ehringhausen was first mentioned on the Walpurgistag (May 1st) in 1369, when “Albrechts Gut zu Eydenchusen” was charged with “ten Sümmer oat taxes”. As a result, the following spellings became known between 1441 and 1648: Eydinchussen, Edenkusen, Erynckhusen, Erickhusen, Erekusen, Erinhusen, Erikaussenn, Ernkhaussen, Erkaußen, Erhusen, Ehrekosen, Ehrekusen. With regard to the dialect, the Eschbach can be recognized as a local language border.

The first single farm in Ehringhausen, namely that of a man with the first name Albrecht, must originally have been located where the source of the Ehringhauser Siepen lies, which flows into the Eschbach. 1560/63 named a lift list for the "Johanniterhafer" already four living there People. The aforementioned donation was made to the Order of St. John , who was patron saint of the Remscheid Church until the time of Napoleon I.

At the beginning of modern times, local ores were smelted below Ehringhausen in the Eschbachtal . According to a document, on January 7, 1591, Peter auf dem Hagen was granted a smelter and hammer concession as well as permission to take timber "from the Hohenwald". However, he had to undertake to deliver a tenth of the iron won to the ducal winery in Burg .

About 300 meters below the Altenhammer there was the Johanneshammer, which Johannes Bertram II built in 1677, in the Eschbachtal at the foot of Ehringhausen. Scythes were forged here. Hammer II was built on the same pond in 1845 by Johannes Bernhard Hasenclever & Sons. From 1960, the blacksmith Kurt Jorzyk from Bergfrieder Weg came to the Johanneshammer from time to time to forge various art objects and Damascus swords according to the old tradition.

Over the years, the introduction of the Franconian law of inheritance from the large individual farms, such as here in Ehringhausen, became courtships. As early as 1675, the Remscheid camp register names eight different families as house and farm owners. The hammer mill owners and merchants Hasenclever and Halbach took up residence here and made the court into a social center. The name of the restaurant "Alte Poststation" recalls the times when there was a mail car service here. The local name for the area around today's bus turning point is "Hippe". This name comes from a former resident here, quirky fellow named Joshua ago that there is a Hippe , that gave a goat.

In the north-western area of ​​the district - a little below the Güldenwerth train station in the area of ​​the "Schafsdelle" in the forest - the "Kirschensiepen" rises, a small brook that flows into the Lobach near the Jagenbergshammer and takes its name from the wild cherry trees on its upper course owes. The "Kirsenseypen" is mentioned in a document as early as 1675, and in 1827 as "Keensiepen".

Ehringhausen was largely spared from bombing raids during the Second World War, so that you can still find some old buildings here, especially slate and half-timbered houses. In the Eschbachtal there is still a one-man bunker as a relic from the Second World War .

Culture, clubs

Among the clubs are the Ehringhauser Männergesangverein 1850, the women's choir founded in 1921, the gymnastics club from 1880, the allotment gardening club and formerly a volunteer fire brigade with a wooden exercise tower.

Ehringhausen had a school for the first time in the late 18th century. It was where the street "Im Loh" is now. The corresponding old hallway name is "Loden". In the address book for the city and district of Remscheid from 1896, a patch school is listed in Ehringhausen. It was under the direction of "Mrs. Walter Hilger" and had around 40 students.
