Etymology and history
Ellerhaus is a local name for an elderly part . The Ellershäuschen is thus a small moving house .
In 1929 Ronsdorf was merged with other cities and municipalities to form Wuppertal. In 1936 the area around Ellers was rededicated as a training area for the newly built Wuppertal barracks as part of the National Socialist armament and the old courtyards, including Ellers, were cleared. Until the 1970s, the buildings were used for military exercises and then demolished.
