history

On the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, the farm is marked as Kl.höfg . On the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 it is unlabeled and on the Prussian first survey from 1843 it is marked as a small courtyard . In the course of the 20th century, the place also bears the name Klein Höfchen on measuring table sheets .

In the 19th century, Kleinhöfchen belonged to the Oberdüssel community of the mayor of Wülfrath . From 1816 to 1861 it belonged to the Elberfeld district and from 1861 to the old Mettmann district .

In 1847 the railway line of the Prince Wilhelm Railway Company was opened. The route was routed past the site.

In 1888 four people lived in one house in Kleinhöfchen. The place is called Klein Höfchen there.

With the municipal reform of 1929, the eastern part of the Oberdüssel district around Kleinhöfchen was split off from Wülfrath and incorporated into the newly founded city of Wuppertal.
