A ravine has been preserved in the area of the coal path at Im Siepen .

With the municipal reform of 1929, the southern part of Dönberg was split off from Neviges and incorporated into the newly founded city of Wuppertal with other Neviges villages outside Dönberg, including Im Siepen. The city boundary between Wuppertal and Neviges ran north of Im Siepen until 1975, and south of it ran from Neviges to Elberfeld until 1929. As a result of the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the rest of the Dönberg was also incorporated into Wuppertal. As a result, Im Siepen lost its border position.
