Etymology and history

Gable goes back to the Middle High German word Gibel (also Gebel ), which means mountain height.

Giebel was first mentioned in a document in 1677. Presumably the gable was a split from Möbeck. In 1677, for tax reasons, a survey of the Sonnborn community was made. There an area of ​​6 ha and 90.71 ares is given for gables . On the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, the courtyard is marked as Gebel . The place is marked unlabeled on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and on the Prussian first survey from 1843.

The cadastral record of the Sonnborn district in 1830 gives an area of ​​6 hectares and 87.95 acres for gables. The gable was 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 when territory was ceded to the city of Elberfeld . The place is noted in the address book from 1890/91. The place fell into desolation between 1968 and 1974 when the Sonnborner Kreuz motorway junction and the 46 federal motorway were built.

With the founding of Wuppertal in 1929, the place found part of Vohwinkel in the city area.

Today's street

The street Giebel , northwest parallel to the Deutsches Ring, is named after this location with an unknown date . It is located around 350 meters north of the original location.
