Location and description

Kohlfurth is located in the northwest of the Solingen district of Mitte on the western bank of the Wupper near the border with the district of Gräfrath . The Solingen-Kohlfurth junction of Landesstraße 74 (L 74) is on the outskirts of the village . In the Kohlfurth area, the L 74 has been expanded into a four-lane motor vehicle and limits the district through its course to the west and south.

The district is spanned twice with bridges at the level of Kohlfurther Straße and Kohlfurth Straße . Kohlfurth is connected to the Kohlfurtherbrücke residential area in Wuppertal via the Kohlfurther Bridge , which crosses the Wupper as a former tram bridge near the Café Hubraum .

South of Kohlfurth is the Hofschaft and the large housing estate Hasseldelle . To the west lie Schrodtberg with the industrial area Schrodtberg, Stöcken and the Fleußmühle . To the north are the Kohlfurther Eickholz desert and the Aue area . To the south-east of the Wuppertal urban area are the courts of Ober- and Unterkohlfurth . These are located in the Kohlfurth residential area of the Cronenberg district .

etymology

The origin of a possible determinant cabbage in the court name has not been conclusively clarified. According to Brangs, the coal supply from the Ruhr area to Solingen ran through the place for a while, but the place can be proven to have existed as early as the second half of the 14th century, so the name Kohlfurth is older than any coal consumption. He also suspects that a Wupper ford could give the second part of the name its name. There may also be entanglements with the court name Külf . The most likely origin 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 .

history

Kohlfurth existed as a court at least in 1363. This year the place was first mentioned in a document. In the map series Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Solingen , from the year 1715, the place is recorded with a farm and named as Colfert . The court belonged to the Honschaft Solingen within the office of Solingen. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as Kolfurt and the Prussian first survey from 1844 as Kohlfurth. In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is recorded as Kolfert .

After the founding of mairies and later mayors early 19th century Kohlfurth belonged to Honschaft Dorp the mayoralty Dorp . In 1815/16 there were 125 inhabitants, in 1830 139 people lived in the place categorized as a hamlet . In 1832 Kohlfurth was still part of the Dorp Honschaft within the Dorp mayor. The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had 20 residential houses, twelve factories or mills and 16 agricultural buildings under the name Kolfert at that time . At that time, 156 residents lived in the village, all of whom were evangelicals.

In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland , 38 houses with 217 inhabitants are listed in 1885.

In the 19th century, the Kohlfurther Straße running through the village was  expanded to become the Provincial Road  Elberfeld – Hitdorf , which connected the city of Elberfeld via Solingen with the Rhine port in Hitdorf before there were rail links in the region. The mayor's office or city of Dorp was merged with the city of Solingen in 1889. This made Kohlfurth a district of Solingen. In 1895 the district had 34 houses with 236 inhabitants, in 1905 32 houses and 221 inhabitants are given.
