history

The location is recorded for the first time unlabeled on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824, the Prussian first survey from 1840 and contemporary city maps indicate the place as An der Eiche . In the Prussian new admission of 1892 the location is called Jägerhof for the first time . The location was crossed by Barmer-Ronsdorfer Straße (today's Landesstraße 419 / Oberbergische Straße ), an old coal route, and the Ronsdorf-Müngstener railway line.

From the end of the 19th century, there was a well-known restaurant and excursion restaurant in Jägerhof. The attached park with an observation tower was a big attraction on the Barmer Südhöhen on the city limits of Ronsdorf . The observation tower was dismantled again in the first third of the 20th century, before Barmen and Ronsdorf were united with other cities to form Wuppertal in 1929. To the north of the locality, the Colmar barracks was built in 1936 as part of the National Socialist armament . The grounds of the park became overgrown from the middle of the 20th century, the last building was demolished in the 1970s with the expansion of state road 419. Today there is a small forest instead of the location and the park.
