Small height
Kleine Höhe , also known as Kleinehöhe in the more recent spelling , is a North Rhine-Westphalian district with the number 3232 in the urban area of the Bergisch city of Velbert (district of Neviges ).
Areas that were split off from the district in 1975 and incorporated into Wuppertal are still referred to as Kleine Höhe by the population, politics and the press, although they were formally incorporated into the Dönberg district and no longer belong to the Kleine Höhe remaining, which today is exclusively in the Velbert urban area is located.
history
The district arises from a medieval and modern farming community of the same name in the lordship of Hardenberg in the Duchy of Berg . After the Napoleonic occupation of the Duchy of Berg, the Bergisch offices and subordinates were dissolved and Kleine Höhe was assigned to the canton of Velbert in the arrondissement of Düsseldorf in the Rhine department of the Grand Duchy of Berg . After the defeat in the Battle of Leipzig , the French withdrew from the Grand Duchy and from the end of 1813 Kleine Höhe fell under the provisional administration of Prussia in the Berg Generalgouvernement . With the formation of the Prussian province of Jülich-Kleve-Berg in 1816, Kleine Höhe was assigned to the mayor's office of Hardenberg in the Elberfeld district and, from 1861, to the Mettmann district of the Prussian Rhine province , which was renamed Neviges in 1935.
In 1836 the peasantry had 321 inhabitants. Ecclesiastically, Kleine Höhe belonged to the Evangelical and Catholic parish of Neviges in 1832 . The statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district at that time listed places to live in large Locksiepen , on Oberstrasse , on Jägersaßbruch , on Herrnsaßbruch , Auf der Schmitten and in front of Leimberg , each with several surrounding courtyards.
According to the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1888, the residential areas Altenlinken , Alte Triebel , Am Asbruch , Am Kleff , Asbruch , Feldgen , Grenz , Hoffnung , Hufe , Jägerasbruch , Klarensprung , Kleine Dillenberg , Königsberg , Linken , Locksiepen , Mittelste Straße belonged to Kleine Höhe , New frontier , Neuenasbruch , Supreme Asbruch , Supreme Dillberg , Supreme Homberg , Supreme Leimberg , Supreme street , Poethen , Roman house , Römersleimberg , ski jump , forging , Schmitte , shaker house , Schultenleimberg , sunflower , Triebel , Triebelsheide , Bottom Dillberg , Bottom Homberg , Bottom Leimberg , Unterste Straße and Weingarten . At that time 546 people lived in 55 houses in these places.
As a result of the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 , but a large part of the district was incorporated into Wuppertal and added to the district Dönberg , so that the name Kleine Höhe is officially only used in the Velbert cadastre today. In the general sense, however, the part located in Wuppertal is still referred to as the Kleine Höhe.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the city administration of Wuppertal planned to develop parts of the Wuppertal "Kleinen Höhe" around the Wüstung Schanze as the Wuppertal NewArea industrial area . After this plan was abandoned, also due to citizen protests, a residential area was to be built there instead, but these plans were also abandoned. The planning of a wind turbine park was given up in 2015 in favor of the planning of a forensic clinic.
