etymology

The place name Fürkeltrath occurs several times in modifications in the Solingen city area, for example in Fürk near Merscheid or Oben- , Mittel- and Unterfürkelt near Widdert . The defining word Fürk stands for the pine tree (= the pine ). The suffix -rath indicates clearing . As a result, Fürkeltrath is the clearing of the pines that was necessary to colonize the place . According to Dittmaier , the determiner goes back to the personal name Fulkilo (with dissimilation of the first l in r).

history

The Fürkeltrath court can be traced back to the 17th century. In 1715 in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen , by Erich Philipp Ploennies , the place is recorded with a farm, but not named. According to Brangs, this is an oversight, as the place was already documented in 1671 and was mentioned several times in the following years in the meeting documents of the Walder Consistory . The court belonged to the Itter Honschaft within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as an Fürkeltrat . The Prussian first recording of 1843 lists the place as Förkelrath, in the topographic map of the administrative district of Düsseldorf from 1871 the place is recorded as Fürkelrath .

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, the farm belonged to the forest mayor's office . In 1815/16 58 people lived in the hamlet called Fürkeltrath , in 1830 66 people . In 1832 the place was part of the first village honors within the mayor's office forest, there it was in the corridor II. ( Wood ). The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had 14 residential buildings and 17 agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 80 people lived in the village, 29 of them Catholic and 51 Protestant. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with 14 houses and 106 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, 13 houses with 102 inhabitants are given for Fürkeltrath. In 1895 the district had 13 houses with 110 inhabitants, in 1905 14 houses and 112 inhabitants are given.

In 1887, the Solingen – Wuppertal-Vohwinkel railway line was laid directly past the village, which was converted into the corkscrew route after its closure at the end of the 20th century . With the city association of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Fürkeltrath became a district of Solingen. Since 1985, of the historic half-timbered houses in Fürkeltrath, the buildings Fürkeltrath 3, 5, 5a as well as 38 and 39 have been listed . In the mid-1990s, the new feeder to Autobahn 46 , the Roggenkamp road, was built past the site .

Since the beginning of the 21st century there have been efforts in Solingen local politics to use the mostly agricultural areas around Fürkeltrath as commercial space in the future . Opponents of these plans are the residents of Fürkeltrath, who, among other things , have come together in the now dissolved citizens' initiative Fürkeltrath .
