In the Middle Ages and modern times, the Höhscheid honors were honored in the parish and judicial district of Solingen within the Bergisch district of Solingen . It encompassed today's Solingen urban area in the districts of Höhscheid and Widdert .
The honor was first mentioned in a document in 1485.
After the end of the French occupation at the beginning of the 19th century and the dissolution of the Grand Duchy of Berg in 1815, the Honschaft Höhscheid - while maintaining the municipal reorganization of the Duchy carried out by the French - finally became a rural community of the mayor in Höhscheid in the district of Solingen in the administrative district of Düsseldorf within the Prussian Rhine province assigned and was thus one of the lowest Bergisch administrative units until the 19th century . In 1815/16 there were 1,044 residents in the Honschaft.
