Location of Evertsaue in Wuppertal

The location of Evertsaue ( historical spelling: Evertzaue ) in the Buchenhofen residential area in the Elberfeld-West district of Wuppertal goes back to an old court and a proto-industrial company. Due to a straightening of a Wupper meander in the area of ​​the Buchenhofen sewage works , Evertsaue, through which the new river bed was laid, fell desolate .

history

The fishing rights of the area of ​​the Wupper from the locality of Rutenbeck to Kohlfurth were granted on October 1st, 1513 by Duke Johann v. Jülich-Berg awarded to the Gräfrath Monastery . Downstream from Kohlfurth, the Altenberg Monastery began to fish .

The property rights of the previously barren and desolate place Evertsaue were transferred to the Brothers Wüsten. This gave them the concession on May 5, 1733 to set up a black and tinplate factory. The Gräfrath monastery filed an objection against this concession. On May 17, 1734, the abbess of the monastery had the facilities in the Wupper of the brothers forcibly demolished without waiting for the decision of the appeal at the Imperial Court of Justice. On May 26, 1734, the state government issued an order that the monastery's acts of violence were to be ceased with a fine of 100 gold ducats. The Jülich-Bergische General Landmesser Frick recorded the condition of the restored facilities of the brothers on September 24, 1736. On June 12, 1737, the monastery sent a notary's report to Wetzlar. This confirms that no sheet metal factory was built on the Wupper, but that the new water dam is used by a horizontal hammer . Thereupon, the abbess had the dam's facilities demolished again by force.

By order of the state government, the Evertsaue buildings are auctioned on October 4, 1747.

The art dealer Johann Peter Bünger acquired the Evertsaue on November 15, 1766 from Elector Karl Theodor on a leasehold. By paying 100 gold ducats from the arch-aristocratic monastery of Gräfrath, Bünger received the right to use the Wupper water and to set up workshops. That also means that he can now build a weir in the Wupper. From now on the rights were transferred to the later owners of the Evertsaue. On July 4, 1769, Bünger expanded his property, in which he bought the large tin from the monastery in Dünnenbrock on the Wupper for 200 Reichstaler .

On December 10, 1812, the iron manufacturer Peter Bünger sold part of the lucrative " Evertsaue, Mairie Cronenberg , Canton Ronsdorf , Arrondissement Elberfeld " to the Blanck brothers from Elberfeld, the other part went to the Simons brothers, who also come from Elberfeld. Bünger received 34,215 Francs as the purchase price, which corresponded to 12,000 Reichstaler in brabander Krontaler at 117 Stüber.

In 1815/16 32 people lived in the village. The part of the Evertsaue that was acquired by the Blanck brothers - the Evertsauer Gut - was transferred to Ernst Hilger on December 5, 1817 for 9,900 Reichstaler.

Ernst Hilger sold the Evertsaue on October 15, 1832 to Ferdinand von Hagen and Arnold Schröder from Remscheid for 9,000 thalers Prussian courant. In the same year the Evertsaue belonged to the village district of the Kronenberg mayor's office. The place, which was categorized as a factory facility according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had three residential buildings, three factories or mills and two agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 17 residents lived in the village, all of whom were Protestant.

In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland in 1885 seven houses with 134 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the place had seven houses with 110 inhabitants, in 1905 six houses and 46 inhabitants.

Instead of the weir that was damaged by flooding, the Ferd. von Hagen Söhne from the district committee of the Mettmann district on September 10, 1891 approved the construction of a new weir in the Wupper. The von Hagen siblings sold the Evertaue estate on January 30, 1903 to the cities of Elberfeld and Barmen for 250,000 marks and rented the previously sold properties from February 1, 1903. The von Hagen siblings did not file a complaint or received any compensation at any time, as above the sewer sewage from Buchenhofen was discharged from the Evertsaue . In 1904 Ferd's production facility was relocated . from Hagen Sons from Evertsaue to Vohwinkel on Kaiserstrasse (today: Vohwinkeler Strasse).

The Wupperverband took over the Buchenhofen sewage works and the Evertsaue from the city of Wuppertal on April 1, 1943. On April 17, 1953, a " resolution to delete the water law in the water book by the government district committee decision committee II - Düsseldorf with reference to § 192, paragraph 2 of the water law of April 7, 1913. " The application for the construction of a new hydropower plant at District President in Düsseldorf was submitted on October 4, 1960 by the Wupper Association.
