history

The origin of the name of the place Heidhausen is derived from the heather , since clearing and reclamation resulted in an area of ​​low vegetation on which the then few residents built their houses.

Today's Heidhausen emerged from the two old monuments Heidhausen and Holsterhausen (not to be confused with today's Essen district of the same name). The Holstetterhusen lived in Heidhausen-Holsterhausen, who cleared the forest for their houses. Their area extended to the Ruhr .

Today's area of ​​Heidhausen belonged to the Duchy of Berg until 1806 and was under the rule of Werden Abbey . Parts of the old Oberhof Barkhov (Bark von Berg ), which stored the farmers' taxes on grain in barns to meet the needs of the abbey, still exist. The owner was Schulte-Barkhov, who was responsible for the jurisdiction over the entire domain. The Oberhof Barkhov was not the largest farm, however, as there was the larger farm Langenhorst among others. Other farms were partly in groups or scattered individually in the vast Heidhauser area. Around 1815 this fell to Prussia . The later painter Theodor Mintrop lived as a farmhand on the Barkhov until he was 30 years old .

The listed former town hall on Heidhauser Platz was built in 1910/1911 by the architect J. F. Happ and served the Werden-Land mayor . The three communities Byfang , Kupferdreh and Siebenhonnschaften belonged to the Werden-Land mayor . After Kupferdreh and Byfang had formed their own mayor's office in 1896, the Werden-Land mayor's office only consisted of the community of Siebenhonnschaften, to which the old monks Heidhausen, Fischlaken, Hamm, Holsterhausen and Klein-Umstand belonged. In 1929, when the Essen district was dissolved, most of the Siebenhonnschaften community was incorporated into Essen; only a small matter fell to the city of Velbert.

On the Pastoratsberg in Heidhausen there are the remains of a Carolingian ring wall in the 9th – 11th centuries. Century, in which the rectory of St. Clemens was located. This was used as a refuge for the surrounding estate owners. St. Clemens was consecrated on May 1st, 957 to Pope Clement of Rome . Parts can be viewed today in the treasury of Werden Abbey . The rampart, called Alteburg , is now a listed building .

Since the late Middle Ages, coal was mined in Heidhausen in tons, i.e. almost at ground level, until the groundwater made further mining impossible.

In 1785 a post office with accommodation was built in Heidhausen. Today the Ratskrug restaurant is located in this listed building on Heidhauser Straße, which was expanded in the 19th century. The old house, together with the town hall and Heidhauser Platz, formed the center of the former Werden-Land .

There is a Jewish cemetery with gravestones from the 19th and 20th centuries on the Pastoratsberg.
