A number of field and street names in Haan, the Schallbruch industrial park, the Stropmütze car park on the federal highway 46 and the Mahnert estate in Erkrath-Hochdahl still bear witness to the former community.

history

The earliest known documentary mention of Ellscheid comes from the year 1589. The Honnschaft Ellscheid historically belonged to the Mettmann office of the Duchy of Berg . During the French era , Ellscheid became part of the municipality or Mairie Haan in the canton of Mettmann in the Grand Duchy of Berg . After Berg fell to Prussia , Mairie Haan continued as mayor in the Elberfeld district and Ellscheid became one of its “special household communities”. With the municipal regulations for the Rhine Province in 1845, Ellscheid became a municipality in the Haan mayor's office in the Elberfeld district (from 1861 Mettmann district ). The community of Ellscheid was incorporated into Haan in 1876. Due to the Düsseldorf law , parts of the former municipality of Ellscheid around Mahnert fell to the city of Erkrath in 1975.
