history

In the 19th century Grünenbaum belonged to the outlying villages of the farmers and the parish Dönberg in the mayor's office Hardenberg , which was renamed Neviges in 1935 . From 1816 to 1861 it belonged to the Elberfeld district and from 1861 to the old Mettmann district . At that time the place was right on the border between the farmers and the Uellendahler Rotte of the Lord Mayor of Elberfeld .

The place is marked on the municipality Charte of the Parzellar cadastre of the mayor's office Hardenberg from 1815/16 as am Grünenbaum . The place is marked unlabeled on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and on the Prussian first survey from 1843. On the Wuppertal city map from 1930, the place bears the name Grünenbaum .

In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province from 1888, a house with five residents is given. The place is called Grünebaum there.

At Grünenbaum, a coal route ran from Sprockhövel to Elberfeld (here today's Westfalenweg and Kohl (en ) strasse ), on which coal from the mines in the southern Ruhr area to the factories in the late 18th century and in the first half of the 19th century Wuppertal, which at that time was the industrial heart of the region.

With the municipal reform of 1929, the southern part of Dönberg was split off from Neviges and incorporated into the newly founded city of Wuppertal with other Neviges villages outside Dönberg, including Grünenbaum. The city boundary between Wuppertal and Neviges ran north of Grünenbaum until 1975, and to the south of it ran from Neviges to Elberfeld until 1929. As a result of the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the rest of the Dönberg was also incorporated into Wuppertal. As a result, Grünenbaum finally lost its border location.
