history

In the early modern era, Eschenkamp was one of the small estates of the Theisbruch farm .

On the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 the place is marked as Heiskamp and on the Prussian first survey from 1843 as E (illegible) kamp . In the course of the 20th century, the place bears the name Eschenkamp on measuring table sheets .

In the 19th century, Eschenkamp belonged to the Oberdüssel community of the mayor of Wülfrath . From 1816 to 1861 it belonged to the Elberfeld district and from 1861 to the old Mettmann district . Eschenkamp was right on the border between Oberdüssel and the community of Sonnborn , which was renamed Vohwinkel in 1880 .

In 1830 the farm had an area equivalent to 4 hectares and 34.04 acres . At that time the farm belonged to an owner from Aprath. In 1888, eleven residents lived in one house in Eschenkamp.

With the municipal reform of 1929, the eastern part of the Oberdüssel district around Eschenkamp was split off from Wülfrath and incorporated into the newly founded city of Wuppertal.
