history

The Fuhr existed as a court at least in the 15th century. The field name was first mentioned in a document as up der Voeren in 1492. In the map series Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Solingen , from the year 1715, the place is recorded with a farm and named as Fuhr . The court belonged to the Itter Honschaft within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as a Fuhr and the Prussian first survey of 1844 also as a Fuhr. In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is recorded as Fuhr .

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, Fuhr belonged to the mayor's office in Wald . In 1815/16 63 people lived in Fuhr , which was also called Vohr , and in 1830 71 people . In 1832 the place was part of the first village honors within the mayor's office forest, there it was in the corridor II. ( Wood ). The place, which was categorized as a Hofstadt according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had nine residential buildings and nine agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 62 people lived in the village, eight of them Catholic and 54 Protestant. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with 17 houses and 106 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, 19 houses with 104 inhabitants are given for Fuhr. In 1895 the district had 16 houses with 86 inhabitants, in 1905 17 houses and 82 inhabitants are given.

In 1887, the Solingen-Wuppertal-Vohwinkel railway line was laid directly past the village . With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, the Fuhr became a district of Solingen. In the 20th century, the Fuhr also changed its appearance, which had only changed little over the centuries, and changed quickly, especially after the Fuhrstrasse was expanded through the middle of the court in the 1930s. In the post-war period, the area became more and more densely populated, for example Rankestrasse was built, where the Fuhr daycare center is also located.

View of the high-rise buildings on the Fuhr

The appearance of the Fuhr changed to a particular extent through the construction of the large housing estate on the newly created Schelerstrasse, Jaspersstrasse and Hartmannstrasse in the 1970s. Due to the low rents, the large housing estate quickly developed into a preferred settlement area for low-wage earners and especially for ethnic German and late repatriate families . To combat the social problems in the district, the Fuhrgemeinschaft e. V. as a youth and cultural institution with a wide range. The front door of the historic half-timbered house Fuhr 5 has been a listed building since January 22, 1985 .
