history

In the forest adjacent to the south there are quarries where the limestone was extracted from the Paffrath limestone basin . The stones were then burned to lime in a lime kiln until the First World War . The lime kiln has been noted on official maps since the second half of the 19th century. On the Prussian new record from 1893–1896, buildings are drawn in at the site of today's house at Wipperfürther Strasse 50 and in the area of ​​the lime kiln.

After the Second World War, a new settlement developed along the way through the construction of several houses.
