history

First mentioned in a document in 1365 you can find the "Goldenberg" in today's spelling, in 1513 the "Guldenberg" and in later years from 1547 Goldenbach, Goldenberch and Goldenbergh. The “Coal Road” once ran along here. The Goldenberg was home to wealthy hammer mill owners who had their businesses at the foot of the Goldenberg “on the Goldenberger Grund” in both the Leyerbach and Diepmannsbach valleys.

Until the 1950s, Goldenberg had a functioning infrastructure with a number of retail shops, restaurants, bakers, hairdressers, shoemakers and other craftsmen. There are also a number of farms that existed at the time. There was also its own death fund and the Goldenberg men's choir. The former Goldenberg volunteer fire brigade was merged with the Grund and Haddenbach weirs to form the northern fire fighting unit on Haddenbacher Strasse.

In 1779 two students were taught at a Winkelschule in Goldenberg . The building, which has been used for school purposes since 1854 and is currently part of the Goldenberg elementary school, is one of the older school buildings in Remscheid. In 2013, two additional school modules (pavilions) were built on the site and another one in 2014, because teaching according to the Montessori method means that many students from the rest of the city come to the Goldenberg. At the beginning of November the school organizes its own Martinszug, which leads through the adjacent settlement to the church.

The Goldenberger Gymnastics Club, founded in 1892, which originally used a room in a restaurant for its exercises, has its own gym on Remscheider Strasse through the Westen Foundation of the Goldenberg industrialist Adolf Westen . Across from the gym, a street was named after the founder.

In 1955, the Protestant church was built on Goldenberger Kirchweg, which, with its own parish, belongs to the Protestant parish of Lüttringhausen. The kindergarten is affiliated. Next to the building there is a forged gate to the church garden, which depicts the Luther rose .
