history
The place was on a coal road running over the height, which is already recorded on the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715. On the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 a location is labeled with Jammerhorn , on the Prussian first recording from 1843 with Jammerhörnchen , the exact allocation to a residential area is imprecise, as the location of the church is located there on later maps. In the topographical-statistical-historical lexicon of Germany from 1849, Jammerhörnchen is registered as a place to live with six inhabitants.
Gustav Piper from Düsseldorf writes in the spring of 1880 in his work " About the old Wallburgen ":
“ [...] Another height is mentioned here; Although there is no trace of wall and ditch that can still be seen, it has a name that makes it probable: it was a useful link in the row of surrounding wall rings.
At the Jammerhörnchen near Düssel ; southeast of the village is the highest point, according to the new name: "on the Düsseler Höhe". Now plowed throughout; in the second decade of this century, however, it was mostly wooded, and at that time it was told from the tradition of the forefathers what the name meant.
"In the old days a watchman lived here who had the obligation to look out over the surrounding heights and valleys and, if he noticed war or raids from afar, then he had to announce this to the communities around by a long hoot with the horn people were able to flee their cattle and other valuables into the forest and recover them there. ”
From up here the view first goes over the next valley with its old noble farms: House Aprath , House Düssel , House Schöller .
The noble farms of Lüntenbeck and Hardenberg, which are also deep, are hidden from here; but the tones of the wailing horn might still be heard there. [...] "
Until 1974 the area around Jammer croissants to belong Wülfrath , district sub Düssel . A street Jammerhörnchen was named on September 14, 1994, the short strait of the street An der Piep branches off to the north.
