Location of Fettehenne in Wuppertal

Fettehenne was one of the medieval Barmer original farms in the area of ​​today's Bergisch city ​​of Wuppertal .

Location and description

The farm was located at the mouth of the Schwarzbach in what is now the Oberbarmen-Schwarzbach residential area . In contrast to the majority of the medieval Barmer original farms, Fettehenne has not been preserved under its original name as the current location. The old courtyard is now part of the dense inner-city commercial and residential development in the area of ​​the Oberbarmer train station .

history

The earliest mention of Fettehenne with a date as Vette Henne comes from the Beyenburger official account (account of the rent master to the Bergisch-Ducal camera administration ) of the year 1466. This shows that the Fettehenne residence was a Kotten at that time .

Territorially, the area around Fettehenne was from 1324 to 1420 in the Brandenburg parish and Gogerichts district Schwelm and then passed to the Bergische Amt Beyenburg , where it became part of the Barmer farmers . In 1641 the size of the courtyard is given as 35 acres .
