history

The Hofschaft Geilenberg can be traced back to 1488 when it as zom Geydenbergh first documented in Zehntregister the Monastery Altenberg is mentioned. The farm is also mentioned as Geyndenbergh .

In 1715 , Erich Philipp Ploennies recorded Geilenberg in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen , and named it Geilenberg . He belonged to the Katternberg Honschaft within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as Geilenberg and the Prussian first survey from 1844 again as Geilenberg . In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is also recorded as Geilenberg .

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, Geilenberg belonged to the Höhscheid mayor's office , there in corridor II ( Pilghausen ). In 1815/16 48 people lived in Geilenberg, known as the hamlet , in 1830 58 people . In 1832 the place was still part of the Katternberg Honschaft within the mayor's office of Höhscheid. The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had ten residential buildings and ten agricultural buildings at that time. At that time 65 people lived in the place, including one Catholic and 64 Protestant denomination. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with twelve houses and 73 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, 13 houses with 105 inhabitants are given for Geilenberg. In 1895 the district had 13 houses with 109 inhabitants and belonged to the Catholic parish of Solingen, in 1905 twelve houses and 106 inhabitants are given.

In the mid-1860s, the northern part of the Hofschaft fell victim to the construction of the railway line between Solingen and Ohligs , which was completed in 1867. It was not until many years later that a bridge was built, which tied the still existing southern part of Geilenberg to Geilenberger Weg and Mangenberger Straße without crossing .
