Etymology and history
While the part of the name Holt , wood clearly denotes a forest, the meaning of Frank is not clear. The naming after the tribe of the Franks or an early owner with the name Franco seems questionable . Frank likely timber is a derivative of Wrankholz (= Streitholz , controversial forest ).
An early documentary mention of this Frankholz took place as early as 1400 as Oberstes Frankholz . It is unclear whether the two Frankholz farms were an undivided estate before 1400 and one Frankholz split off from the other, or whether they were independent living spaces that got their common name from the hallway designation. At that time one or both farms belonged to a farm association of Werden Abbey under the Oberhof Kalkofen.
In the early modern period Frankholz belonged to the parish of Sonnborn in the Bergisch Amt of Solingen . On the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824, the place to live is recorded as Auf dem Frankholz , and on Sonnborn's municipality map from 1868 as Aufm Frankholz . It is recorded as Frankholz II in the Wuppertal city map from 1930.
The two Frankholz were located in the municipality of Sonnborn , which was split off from the mayor's office in Haan in 1867 and which was renamed the municipality of Vohwinkel in 1888 with the transfer of territory to the city of Elberfeld .
In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, five houses with 67 inhabitants are given for both Frankholz.
With the founding of Wuppertal in 1929, the two Frankholz were accepted into the city area as part of Vohwinkel.
