Kastenberg was a locality in the mountainous city of Wuppertal am Blombach . With the construction of the federal highway 1 , the place between the directional lanes fell into desolation , a rain retention basin was built over parts of the place.
Location and description
The location was in what is now the Erbschlö-Linde residential area of the Ronsdorf district at 254 meters above sea level in the valley floor of the Blombach Valley at the mouth of the Erbschlöer Bach at the foot of the Kastenberg . Neighboring locations were Erbschlö , Werbsiepen , Linde , Putschhaus , Blombach and the Kupferhammer .
The Blombachtalbrücke spans the valley near Kastenberg.
history
The Kastenberg farm was mentioned in a document as 'de Castenbergh' as early as 1353 and belonged to the Scharpenacker Rotte in the Erbschlö family . From the 19th century, the secluded place underwent extensive changes. The valley road near Kastenberg along the Blombach in the direction of Linde has been replaced by a road on the hillside of the Marscheider Berg , today's state road 58 (formerly federal road 51 ).
At the end of the 19th century, the Wuppertal-Oberbarmen-Solingen railway line was built past the village. One of the four houses in the village belongs to the Deutsche Reichsbahn and served as the residence of the railway staff at the Kastenberg block . The other houses included the Haus Schöntal dance hall, which had a gondola pond, and the Heuser restaurant.
The road from Ronsdorf via Erbschlö to Kupferhammer passed Kastenberg, and before the Blombachtalbrücke was built in 1959, it took up all traffic in an easterly direction.
In the 1950s, the Federal Motorway 1 was built through the Blombachtal. Kastenberg was between the structurally separated directional lanes. The Schöntal house, which was no longer attractively located, was demolished in the 1960s and the gondola pond silted up. The last remnants of the development were lost when the motorway was extended to three lanes and the rainwater retention basin was built.
