history

Half-timbered house in Eigener Berg

The location of Eigener Berg probably only emerged in the second half of the 19th century. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and the Prussian first survey of 1844 do not yet record the location. The place is also not shown on 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, Eigener Berg belonged to the forest mayor's office , where it was in corridor III. ( Scheid ). The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with three houses and 16 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, four houses with 61 inhabitants are given for Eigen. In 1895 the district had six houses with 50 inhabitants, in 1905 seven houses and 64 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, Eigener Berg 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.
