history

The Hofschaft cottas can be traced back to 1488 when it as zom Kotten / zom Koiten first documented in Zehntregister the Monastery Altenberg is mentioned.

In 1715 , Erich Philipp Ploennies recorded Kotten in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen , and named it as Kotten . He belonged to the Katternberg Honschaft within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as im Kotten and the Prussian first survey from 1844 as Kotten . In the topographical map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is recorded unnamed.

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, Kotten belonged to the Höhscheid mayor's office .

In 1815/16, 82 people lived in the Kotten, known as a hamlet with Reckhammer and Mühle , in 1830 116 people . In 1832 the place was still part of the Katternberg Honschaft within the mayor's office of Höhscheid. The place, categorized as a village according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , had 14 houses and 15 agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 135 residents lived in the place, nine of them Catholic and 125 Protestant. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with 25 houses and 212 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, 24 houses with 181 inhabitants are given for Kotten. In 1895 the district had 21 houses with 193 inhabitants and belonged to the Catholic parish of Solingen (parish of St. Clemens ), in 1905 20 houses and 175 inhabitants are given.

In the middle of the 1860s, the construction of the railway line between the terminus at Solingen Weyersberg and the new crossing station Ohligs-Wald near Hüttenhaus began . The railway line was laid out directly past the court and completed in 1867. A bridge was only built a few years ago , which made the way from Kotten to Kotter Hammer in the Nacker Bachtal valley free again.

In 1867/1868 Carl Müller began manufacturing steam engines in the Solingen area in the Kotten estate . He founded the Müller machine factory named after him. Heinz Rosenthal notes that, despite the " demanding " designation as a machine factory, it was only a small business with a few employees. The connecting road between Mangenberger Straße and the court of Kotten was given by the Höhscheider city ​​council at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Century the name Maschinenstrasse based on the Müller factory . Today the company trades as Müller & Dungs GmbH and, 150 years later, is still based on Maschinenstrasse am Kotten.

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, the court of Kotten became a district of Solingen. In Kotten and at the entrance to the courtyard via Maschinenstrasse, some half-timbered houses have survived to this day, some of which are listed . This has been the case for the Kotten 1, 1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 and Maschinenstrasse 11, 12, 14 and 26 buildings since 1984/1985.
