history
The location arose from a court that was mentioned in a document as early as 1572 and is recorded on maps from the 18th and 19th centuries as Funckloch (1715 and 1789). The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1825 records the court, which now consists of two houses, under the name Funkelloch .
In the neighborhood of Funkloch were the contemporary courtyards and localities of Hatzenbeck , Clefkotten and Wolfhahn , which today have mostly also merged into the urban development. In 1815/16 the place had 37 inhabitants.
In 1832 the place belonged to the wood and Eichholzer Rotte of the rural outskirts of the parish and the city of Elberfeld . The location, which was categorized as a single house according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , was referred to as in the dead zone and at that time had three residential buildings and two agricultural buildings. At that time there were 43 residents, one Catholic and 42 Evangelical.
Today's Cronenberger Straße was a regionally important trade route between Cologne and the Rhine near Hitdorf and the then independent town of Elberfeld , which was expanded into the provincial road Elberfeld – Hitdorf in the 19th century . The radio hole was on this heavily frequented road , which was classified as a state road. At that time, 88 residents lived in the village, eight of them Catholic and 80 Protestant.
