history

Handweiser (I) was first mentioned in a document in 1839 and was created a year earlier as a split from Auf den Kuhlen .

In 1838 Handweiser (I) belonged to the Eickhöfer peasantry within the Halver mayor . The place categorized as Kotten according to the place and distance table of the government district Arnsberg had a house at that time. At that time, six people lived in the village, all of whom were Protestant.

The municipality encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 45 inhabitants who lived in six houses. Since the three individual residential spaces all consisted of only one or two individual houses, all three residential spaces (I, II, and III) were obviously listed together in this list.

At Handweiser, a presumably prehistoric old road from Schwelm via Radevormwald to Wegerhof ran along the route of today's federal road 229 , which was used as an iron and coal road.

The Elberfeld line of the Bergische Landwehr ran west of Handweiser from the late Middle Ages to the early modern times , the Bergische customs station was in the neighboring Kettlerhaus .

At Handweiser there is the inconspicuous driveway to the former munitions defeat in Wuppertal on federal road 229 opposite the parking lot .
