Küllenhahn is a 4.85 km² residential area in the Wuppertal district of Cronenberg .

geography

The residential area is bordered in the south by the Burgholzbach , in the west by the Wupper and in the north by the streets Jung-Stilling-Weg, Zeppelinallee and Landesstraße 418 in the Rutenbeck Bachtal .

Most of Küllenhahn is taken up by the large forest areas of the Burgholz State Forest , which extend along the slopes of the deep valleys of the Burgholzbach, Glasbach and Rutenbeck Bach to the Wupper. The Burgholz tunnel crosses a large part of the residential area in an east-west direction.

The local locations and suburbs include Korzert , Neuenhof and Theishahn . The village of Evertsaue was lost in the 1960s when the Wupper was relocated.

history

The district goes back to a farm Kettelershahn, which was first mentioned in the 16th century. When the farm passed into the possession of the bailiff of the Cronenberg scythe smiths Johann Kullen (Küll) in 1610 , the name changed to Kullenhahn (Küllhahn). The suffix -hahn is a form of Hain , Hag .
