history

Kradenpuhl was first mentioned in 1273 as Cradenpul , in 1402 as Cradenpoil . The place name is made up of the words Krade , Rhenish for toad , and mndd. pôl (= pool , swamp ) together. The name meaning is toad swamp .

The map Topographia Ducatus Montani from 1715 shows four farms under the name Cradepohl . In the 18th century, the place belonged to the parish of Leichlingen in the Bergisches Amt Miselohe . The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and the Prussian first survey from 1844 record the place as Kradenpohl and Cradenpuhl .

In 1815/16 71 people lived in the village. In 1832 Kradenpuhl belonged to the mayor's office in Leichlingen . The place, categorized as a village according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , had 13 residential houses and 17 agricultural buildings at that time. At that time 72 people lived in the place, twelve of them Catholic and 60 Protestant faith.

In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1885 17 houses with 88 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the place had 14 houses with 71 inhabitants, in 1905 16 houses and 69 inhabitants.

The Wupper Bridge

The pedestrian bridge over the Wupper is called the Juckelbrücke by the local population . Wupper crossings by means of footbridges at this point have been documented since the 16th century, but it was not until the construction of a cable bridge based on submissions from Leichling and Höhscheid citizens in 1910 that it was named. Due to miscalculations in the bridge piers, the wire rope bridge did not have the required stability, so that access restrictions had to be introduced as early as 1912. The swaying of the bridge inspired the residents to use the name Wackel or Juckelbrücke . According to a report from 1914, it was particularly popular with young people to deliberately rock the bridge.

The wire rope bridge was replaced by a concrete bridge in the 1920s, which had to be closed in 2012 due to its dilapidation. The city of Solingen has meanwhile withdrawn its commitment to half of the financing, so that the financing of a new building was only secured in 2014. The concrete bridge was demolished in 2014 and replaced by a light metal bridge in June 2014. Of the total costs of 638,000 euros, 425,000 euros were taken over by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the rest was shared by the cities of Solingen and Leichlingen.
