Kemna is a district in the Wuppertal district of Langerfeld-Beyenburg in the Ehrenberg residential area .
Location and description
Kemna is located in the Wupper valley in the eastern part of the city between the districts of Laaken and Beyenburg on Beyenburger Straße (Landesstraße 527). The Herbringhauser Bach , the Steinhauserbergbach and the Nebenkämper Siefen flow into the Wupper near the district. The state road and the disused line of the Lennep-Krebsöge-Rauenthal (" Wuppertalbahn ") railway , on which the neighboring paper mill Erfurt und Sohn KG had a siding, run through the district . In Kemna itself there was a siding, which is still there, but overgrown. In the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, two water ditches branched off from a Wupper weir , which combined after a few hundred meters drove a water drive and then flowed back into the Wupper.
Kemna became known nationwide through the establishment of the early Kemna concentration camp , which existed from July 1933 to January 1934.
The local restaurant “ Haus Kemna ” dates back to the 17th century. Up until the end of the 19th century, there was a customs post on the historic Rhenish-Westphalian border with a barrier at which a road toll was levied. The border ran right through the inn. A curiosity was the fact that the taproom of the restaurant was on Rhenish territory, but the bowling alley was on Westphalian territory and the Westphalian customs officer had to control the amount of alcohol that guests inside the building took across the border from the taproom to the bowling alley and on this due to the customs laws possibly had to collect customs duties. As a rule, however, this duty of service should not have been strictly exercised.
The three Kemnas on the Wupper
The name Kemna has been passed down for three different historical farms on the Wupper in today's urban area:
- The extensive area of the Kemna-called Sattelhof was to the west of the Schwarzbach in today's district of Oberbarmen , see Kemna (Barmen) .
- Another farm with this name belonged to the Wülfinger Rotte, a court association around the Wülfing farm, and was located east of the Schwarzbach in what is now the Oberbarmen district. In 1642 the farm was owned by a Conrad Klinkholtz.
- The present-day district of Kemna, referred to as Kümenau on the Topographia Ducatus Montani in 1715 , has been known as Kemna since 1753. This district goes back to the third farm named Kemna. On November 22, 1960, a street of the same name was named in the settlement.
