Kohlfurth (often also Kohlfurt ) is a residential area in the Wuppertal district of Cronenberg on the border with Solingen formed by the Wupper . On the opposite side of the Wupper there is a location of the same name in the Solingen district of Solingen-Mitte.

etymology

There are two interpretations of the etymological origin of the name. The first says that the name comes from a coal furth, i.e. a ford through the Wupper, on which coal was transported from the Ruhr to Solingen. The more likely one is the derivation of a farm name after the Külfbach, which flows into the Wupper near Kohlfurth. In 1471, the courtyard becomes “in der Kolve” ; 1598 Kulfert ; 1656 Kullff ; 1659 Kolfert ; 1690 Kolffurt noted. Kolf, Kolve or Külf means water hole.

Two hammer mills are also documented in 1694 . This later became Schleifkotten , in which the first steam boiler system in the Cronenberg area was installed. In addition to the bridge, some residential buildings from the first half of the 19th century have been placed under monument protection.
