Honesty Itter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Honschaft Itter , also called First Dorfhonschaft Wald in the 19th century , was in the Middle Ages and modern times a Honschaft in the parish and judicial district of Wald within the Bergisch district of Solingen . It comprised part of today's Solingen urban area in the districts of Wald and Gräfrath .

The honor existed as early as 1220, when Count Engelbert von Berg divided his County of Berg into judicial districts. The Honschaft Itter was already at this time one of eight honors of the parish of Wald, which at the same time formed a judicial district from that time on.

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 Itter - while maintaining the municipal reorganization of the Duchy carried out by the French - finally became a rural community of the mayorry of Wald in the Solingen district of 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 . So in 1807, under the French from the Honschaft Bavert, the residential areas Krausen , Am Friesenhäusgen and aufm Rolsberg came to the Honschaft.

In 1815/16, 1,690 people lived in the Honschaft.

According to the Statistics and topography of the district of Dusseldorf were among the Honschaft 1832 following towns and residential places (original spelling): forest , scrub , Altenhof , Wiedenhof , frills , thatched house , Rolsberg , Wittkull , Adam Field , field , worry house , Honshaus , Stubben , shrub , delle , Buckert , Westerburg , top Itter , sunshine , hedgehog forestry , Kninsbusch , Kotzert , sticks , bakery Heide , means Itter , wood , Gütgen , Fürkelrath , Eipaß , Buxhaus , Itter fraction , construction mill , objectives cotta , construction cotta , Eschbach , Ehrnermühle and transit .

At that time there were two churches, six public buildings, 368 houses, 14 mills or factories and 249 agricultural buildings. There were 2,010 inhabitants in the Honschaft, of which 247 were Catholic, 1,754 Protestant and nine were Jewish.

With the elevation of the mayor's office of Wald to town in 1856, the honors ceased to exist as an administrative unit.
