history

In the 19th century, Knorrsiepen belonged to the Untensiebeneick farmers and the Dönberg parish in the town of Hardenberg's mayor's office , which was renamed Neviges in 1935 . From 1816 to 1861 it belonged to the Elberfeld district and from 1861 to the old Mettmann district .

The place is marked as Fingscheidersiepen on the municipality of the parcel cadastre of the Hardenberg mayor's office from 1815/16 .

With the municipal reform of 1929, the southern part of Dönberg was split off and incorporated into the newly founded town of Wuppertal with other Neviges villages outside Dönberg, the rest of Dönberg with Knorrsiepen initially remained with Neviges. As a result of the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the again divided Dönberg was also incorporated into Wuppertal, with the exception of the northern suburbs that remained with Velbert.
