history

The history of the Eigen estate can be traced back to the 15th century. Erich Philipp Ploennies recorded the farm in 1715 in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen, and named it oak . He belonged to the Scheid Honschaft within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the site as an own and the Prussian first survey of 1844 also as an own . In the topographical map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is again listed as an own .

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, Eigen was part of the Wald mayorry . In 1815/16 79, in 1830 90 people lived in the property . In 1832 the place was part of the Second Dorfhonschaft within the mayor's office forest, there it was in the corridor III. ( Scheid ). The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , had 16 residential buildings and eleven agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 83 residents lived in the place, including 21 Catholic and 62 Protestant denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with 33 houses and 178 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, 27 houses with 165 inhabitants are given for Eigen. In 1895 the district had 39 houses with 253 inhabitants, in 1905 20 houses and 171 inhabitants are given.

In 1887 the Solingen – Wuppertal-Vohwinkel railway line was laid past the site . With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, the court estate Eigen became a district of Solingen. The construction work on Frankfurter Damm as a bypass road between Mitte and Wald and past the Hofschaft began in 1934 as an emergency project to combat unemployment in Solingen, but was not completed for the time being. The road construction project was only taken up again in the post-war period, the Frankfurter Damm was completed in its current size and inaugurated on February 11, 1967.
