Location of Herberg in Solingen

Herberg is a desert in the Gräfrath district of Solingen . The Solingen Municipal Clinic is located near Herberg . The place itself was built over by a parking lot for the hospital in the post-war period after the Second World War .

geography

Herberg is located in the extreme south of Gräfrath, right on the border with Solingen-Mitte. The former court was at the end of Herberger Straße, named after the place, south of the municipal clinic, directly on the embankment of the corkscrew railway . The place was on the banks of the Lochbach , which rises in the northeastern Obenscheidt , but which was later led underground between Obenscheidt and the southwestern hedges . Untenscheidt is to the south of Herberg , Eigen is to the west and Vogelsang to the north , as is the city's botanical garden .

etymology

According to Brangs, the place name Herberg could indicate that there was once a hostel (e.g. for carters) there. However, this cannot (so far) be clearly proven by sources.

history

Herberg can be traced back to a Bergisch court since the 17th century. In 1715 Erich Philipp Ploennies recorded the farm in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen, with a farm and already named herberg . The farm belonged to the Scheid Honschaft within the Bergisches Amt Solingen. The topographical recording of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as a hostel and the Prussian first recording from 1844 as Ob: Herberg . As an associated place Unt: Herberg , the current Düllengenstal is shown on the same map . In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is recorded as a hostel .

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, Herberg belonged to the mayor's office in Wald , where it was in corridor III. ( Scheid ). In 1815/16 46 people lived in the hamlet of the Herberg , in 1830 51 people . In 1832 the place was part of the second village honors within the forest mayor. The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had nine residential buildings and eight agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 68 residents lived in the place, two of them Catholic and 66 Protestant denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with 14 houses and 81 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, 15 houses with 73 inhabitants are given for Herberg. In 1895 the district had 16 houses with 133 inhabitants, in 1905 17 houses and 151 inhabitants are given.

In 1887, the Solingen-Wuppertal-Vohwinkel railway line was laid directly past the village . For this purpose, a dam was raised south and south-west of the buildings belonging to the village at the end of Herberger Strasse. With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Herberg became a district of Solingen. The construction work on Frankfurter Damm as a bypass road between Mitte and Wald and past the Hofschaft began in 1934 as an emergency project to combat unemployment in Solingen, but was not completed for the time being. The road construction project was only taken up again in the post-war period, the Frankfurter Damm was completed in its current size and inaugurated on February 11, 1967.

North of Herberg, since its new building on Frankenstrasse between 1913 and 1915, the city hospitals of the city of Solingen, today's city clinic, have been located. In the past 100 years, the area of ​​the clinic has expanded further and finally, Herberg itself fell victim to the increasing space requirement.

Presumably at the beginning of the 1970s, the buildings belonging to the court were closed, and the connection between Herberger and Unterer Dammstraße was also cut. The area south of the hospital was then built over by a large parking lot in the mid-1970s. Today only the name of the street Herberger Straße indicates the former court.
