history

The Hahnenhaus estate can be traced back to the 17th century. It is recorded in 1715 in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen , by Erich Philipp Ploennies directly adjacent to the Hofschaft Eckstumpf with a yard and named as Hanenhus . The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 shows the place together with the neighboring town as a stump and the Prussian first survey of 1844 as a cockpit . In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the courtyard is recorded as Hanshaus .

Historically, the Hahnenhaus farm, like the neighboring corner stump, belonged to the Ketzberg family . Only in the course of the territorial reform under the French occupation forces in 1807 was Hahnenhaus assigned to the Honschaft Scheid within the newly founded Mairie Forest . After the establishment of the Mairien and later mayors of Wald and Gräfrath , the Hahnenhaus farm was now located directly on the municipal boundary between the two mayor's offices. The Grenzstraße (today's Heresbachstraße) marked this municipality boundary. On the Graefrath side, the Hofschaft Eckstumpf was adjacent.

In 1815/16 35 people lived in Hahnenhaus and in 1830 39 people. In 1832 the place was part of the Second Dorfhonschaft within the mayor's office forest, there it was in the corridor III. ( Scheid ). The place, which was categorized as a court town and named Hanenhaus according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had five residential buildings and three agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 46 residents lived in the village, six of them Catholic and 40 Protestant. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with nine houses and 73 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, ten houses with 76 inhabitants are given for Hahnenhaus. In 1895 the district had nine houses with 78 inhabitants, in 1905 nine houses and 65 inhabitants are given.

Bergische health insurance

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, both courts became part of Solingen. From the turn of the 20th century, the development on the Hahnenhaus became increasingly dense and the early days of the early days found their way into the streetscape along the Gräfrather and Hahnenhausstraße and dominated this in parts to this day. A second building boom set in in the second half of the 20th century, so that Hahnenhaus's character as a court can only be traced on the basis of two Bergisch half-timbered houses that are hidden at the end of the Hahnenhaus spur road . Finally, the new housing estate on Hahnenhauser Feld was built behind the Bergische Krankenkasse building.
