The court belonged to the Barmer court association, which passed as "Güter in Barmen" ("Bona de Barme") in 1245 from Count Ludwig von Ravensberg as an allod into the possession of Count von Berg under Count Heinrich IV . From 1324 to 1399/1420 the area was territorially in the rulership of the Counts of the Mark , from 1420 it was also territorially Bergisch . The earliest mention of Klingelholl with a certain date comes from the Beyenburg official account (accounting of the rent master to the Bergisch-Ducal camera administration ) of the year 1466. With the other farms in the Barmen farming community , Klingelholl was part of the Bergisch office of Beyenburg until 1806 . Ecclesiastically it belonged to the establishment of a separate Barmer parish to parish Schwelm on.

Large-scale settlement around the courtyard did not begin until the end of the 19th century. In addition to a few residential buildings, there was a brickworks on the site of today's school for the physically handicapped . A waste incineration plant had been in operation on the site of the municipal vehicle fleet since 1906 and was in operation until the 1960s. The Erlöserkirche was the second church built for the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Wichlinghausen and was built between 1913 and 1914 according to plans by the Barmen architect Wilhelm Werdelmann . In 1963 the Johanneum Evangelist School moved into its current building after the previous seat, which had been in use since 1893, had to give way to the construction of the Federal Highway 46 .
