Location and description

The place is north of Witzhelden on the state road 359 on the edge of the plateau, which slopes steeply to the north in the nature reserve Wupper slopes with side depths and the Wupper north of Witzhelden and Leichlingen drops steeply to the Lower Wuppertal . The foothills of the plateau towards the valley area are called Wupperberge . In addition to Witzhelden, neighboring towns are Scharweg , Bechhausen , Nüsenhöfen , Meie , Raderhof , Herscheid , Sieferhof , Orth and Wolfstall .

The northern residential areas of Witzhelden have grown up to Flamerscheid, which itself increased in development in the 20th century and today forms a common settlement area with Scharweg, so that the location can no longer be perceived as independent.

history

Flamerscheid was first mentioned in a document in 1405 as Vlamersschede . The prefix of the -scheid place is probably derived from a personal name Fladmar . In the 17th century, the owners of the Flamerscheid farm had to pay taxes to the Bergisch dukes . The amount of the levy is recorded in Haus Nesselrath's book of records and in the stock ledger to the Burger Kellnerei . According to documents, the farm must have belonged to the Bechhausen manor before 1714.

The map Topographia Ducatus Montani from 1715 shows four courtyards under the name Flamers . In the 18th century, the place belonged to the parish of Leichlingen in the Bergisches Amt Miselohe . On February 27, 1732, a document from Herscheid mentions a monastic estate in Flamerscheid. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and the Prussian first survey from 1844 record the place as Flamerscheid and Flammerscheid, respectively . One of the 13 buildings in 1829 was Kilingsgut, which was named after the Kiling family who owned it. She ran a muscle-powered bone mill in an outbuilding . Other trades in the village were a groats mill , weaving mills and a clog maker . Until the 1970s, agriculture , fruit growing and home work were also carried out in Schleifkotten for the Solingen cutlery industry.

In 1815/16 87 people lived in the village. In 1832 Flamerscheid belonged under the name Flammerscheid to the parish Witzhelden of the mayor's office of Burscheid . The place, categorized as a village according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , had 17 houses, a factory or mill and 28 agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 97 residents lived in the place, four of them Catholic and 93 Protestant.

Due to the municipal code for the Rhine province, the parish of Witzhelden received the status of a municipality in 1845, left the Burscheid mayor and formed its own mayor's office from 1850 onwards . In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland in 1885 21 houses with 95 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the place had 23 houses with 106 inhabitants, in 1905 23 houses and 105 inhabitants.

In 1897 Flamerscheid received a water supply system by enclosing a spring and building a pump house. The place was connected to the power grid in the mid-1920s, a decade and a half after the neighboring joke. The development of the place by a paved road lasted until 1926, which was later extended to the sports field laid out in 1935. The sports field was rebuilt and expanded several times in 1971, 1980 and 1999. The Flamerscheid school with gym was built in three construction phases (1953, 1959 and 1966) and inaugurated on November 18, 1967. 238 students attended the school at this time.

From the 1930s to the 1960s there was a water tower in Flamerscheid , which was removed for the construction of the multi-family housing estate on the southern outskirts. On January 1, 1975, the municipality of Witzhelden was incorporated into Leichlingen with Flamerscheid. In 1975/76 the 130 meter high telecommunications tower, popularly known as “Rich”, was built.
