history

Heidufer was probably not built until the second half of the 19th century, the location is not yet recorded in the topographical map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871. It appears for the first time in the 1893 edition of the Solingen measuring table sheet of the official topographic map 1: 25,000 on maps.

After the establishment of the Mairien and later mayor's offices at the beginning of the 19th century, the place initially belonged to the mayor's office of Merscheid , which was elevated to a town in 1856 and renamed Ohligs in 1891 . The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with four houses and 27 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, four houses with 20 inhabitants are given for Heidufer.

In 1893/1894 border corrections took place between the communities of Wald and Ohligs in the local area of ​​the Lochbach valley. Heidufer, Tiefendick and the nearby Scheuer came under the administration of the Wald mayor . In 1895 the district had four houses with 19 residents. In 1905, three houses and 15 inhabitants are given for the forest village.

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Heidufer became a district of Solingen.
