history

Fahrentrappe was first mentioned in a document in 837 in a register of the Werden monastery . There the donation of a clearing in the Wagneswald between the brooks Fahrentrappe and Porbecke to the monastery is notarized. The residents belonged to the rural upper class in the Hattingen and Sprockhövel area. A mill is occupied in the courtyard , the mill pond is still preserved today. The owner family Varrentrapp / Fahrentrappe has a coat of arms in which a bustard is depicted. The interpretation of the place name in connection with the bird species may have arisen later, however, Leithäuser sees in the old documented place name and water name Farntrapa a form of the Germanic -apa (= water , brook ), as it is often found in the region.

Driving Trappe belonged to the late Middle Ages and early modern period to the peasantry Elffrinckhuysen in office Blankenstein of the County of Mark .

Light hole of the Herzkämper Erbstollen on the Fahrentrappe

In the early modern period, hard coal was mined in the vicinity of the Herzkämper Mulde. The 1.8 kilometer long Kreßsieper Erbstollen, which ended at Fahrentrappe and drained into the Felderbach, was created from 1745 to drain the mining area. It was replaced by the lower lying, 3.8 km long Herzkämper Erbstollen, which was created from 1784 and has a light hole at Fahrentrappe.
