Etymology and history

The name Kottsiepen is made up of the designation for a damp brook valley (see Siepen ) and a personal designation (probably derived from Kotten ).

The court was first mentioned in 1471 as Kottseipere . In the early modern period she belonged to the Erbschlö Honschaft in the Bergisches Amt of Beyenburg . In 1710 two houses are occupied in Kottsiepen.

On the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, the farm is listed as a basket . On the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 the place is recorded as Kottsiepen and on the Prussian first survey of 1843 as in Kottsiepen .

In 1832 Kottsiepen belonged to the Boxberger Rotte of the rural outskirts of the city of Ronsdorf . The place, categorized as a hamlet according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had five residential buildings and two agricultural buildings at the time. At that time there were 59 people living in the village, all of whom were Protestant. In the municipality encyclopedia for the Rhineland province from 1888, six houses with 61 inhabitants are given.

As an example of historical buildings in Kottsiepen, the listed twin house Kottsiepen 32/34 should be mentioned. Until the end of the 1960s, the location was isolated, in the following years the development moved closer to Kottsiepen and is now directly adjacent to the older buildings of the court.
