Etymology and history

The Fingscheidt farm was first mentioned in a document before 1220 under the name Vinkenscheide in the small, older bailiwick role and around 1220 in the larger, younger bailiwick role of Count Friedrich von Isenberg-Altena , who was guardian of the Essen monastery at the time mentioned .

However, the Fingscheidt farm belonged to the Rellinghausen monastery . This court association appears in the Isenberg roles as "Curia Rolinchusen". The Rellinghausen Abbey was founded in 998. The monastery received its extensive ownership of courtyards (including Fingscheidt) when it was founded. It remains to be assumed that the Fingscheidt farm also existed in 998 or was founded at that time.

The Fingscheidt farm belonged to the Hardenberg dominion in the area of ​​the Duchy of Berg . The next documentary mention was made around 1355 in the list of goods and income belonging to the Hardenberg rule under the name Winkescheide .

Further documentary mentions were made around 1442 in the directory of the saddle and Kurmud estates of the House of Hardenberg under the name Winckenscheyt , as well as in 1508 in the valuation list of the Hardenberg rule ( Vinckenscheidt ), 1538 income of the Hardenberg rule from the May and autumn bede, interest, cow fees and excises ( Vynckenschit ), again in 1538 ( Vynskenschyt ), 1602 from the Schatz-Zettul of the Turckensteuer ( Windtscheidt ) and in the middle of the 17th century - record of the Hardenberg lordly rights and income ( Finscheidt ).

In the 17th century, the farm was already split into the two directly adjacent farms, Große Windtscheidt and Underste Windtscheidt , both of which belonged to the Hardenberg farmers' association Oberste Siebeneick .

In 1703, Große Windscheidt is now called Oben zu Fingscheidt and Unterste Windscheidt is now called Unter-Fingscheidt , the latter is only recorded as half a yard. Later there was another split, the Mittlere Fingscheidt farm . The three immediately neighboring courtyards together formed the closed settlement area from the 19th century, which is known today under the name Fingscheidt.

1681 - On this date the Baroness von Bernsau, widowed von Schaesberg, gave Johann Fingscheidt permission to teach reading and writing to his and some neighboring children of the parish Langenberg on his farm : up to further and other regulation.

From 1719 to 1721 a new school building was built in Fingscheidt in the valley floor on the other side of today's county road, the first school building in the community of Dönberg. In 1852, due to the increasing number of students, the building was replaced by a larger one, in which lessons were given until March 1963.

In the 19th century, Fingscheidt was one of the suburbs of the Dönberg parish in the town of Hardenberg-Neviges, which was renamed Neviges in 1935. From 1816 to 1861 it belonged to the Elberfeld district and from 1861 to the old Mettmann district.

In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, a house with six inhabitants is given for Oberfingscheid, a house with eight inhabitants for Mittelfingscheid and a house with four inhabitants for Unterfingscheid.

With the municipal reform of 1929, the eastern part of Obensiebeneick was split off and incorporated into the newly founded city of Wuppertal together with southern Dönberger localities, the rest of Obensiebeneick with the Fingescheidter Höfen initially remained with Neviges. Due to the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the rest of Obensiebeneick was also incorporated into Wuppertal.

The buildings of the Obere Fingscheidt and Mittlere Fingscheidt farms were demolished in 1962 and 1963, respectively, the Untere Fingscheidt farm and the new school building have been preserved and today form the village of Fingscheidt with the auxiliary buildings. The old school building fell victim to a fire in 1993.

In the local dialect, the place was also known as ongen te Fingescheidt , medelste Fingscheidt , oven te Fingscheidt and olle Schoal .
