The village of Engelsberg, which emerged from a court , can be traced back to the 17th century. The first documentary mention is in 1672, when a Peter Engelsberg is named as the feudal man of the court. In 1715 Erich Philipp Ploennies recorded the place on the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen , with a farm and already named as Engelsberg . The place belonged to the Honschaft Merscheid within the office of Solingen. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as Engelsberg and the Prussian first survey of 1844 also as Engelsberg . In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is also recorded as Engelsberg .

After the establishment of the Mairien and later mayor's offices at the beginning of the 19th century, Engelsberg belonged to the mayor's office of Merscheid , which was elevated to a town in 1856 and renamed Ohligs in 1891. Descendants of Engelberg family settled in the early 19th century south of the Ohligser Heide down and founded the Engelberger court on former wasteland that has become a profitable to farm Well developed.

In 1815/16 there were 41 people, in 1830 47 people lived in Engelsberg, which is known as the hamlet .
