The entrance can be reached via a staircase and is located on the north gable opposite the pastorate, which is only a few meters away .
In contrast to numerous other structures in Ronsdorf, the building remained largely intact during the Second World War , especially during the air raids on Wuppertal . Together with the neighboring Reformed Pastorate Ronsdorf , the Reformed Church Ronsdorf opposite with the churchyard and the handle pump , the Reformed School and a few other preserved buildings such as a. the Waterhüsken and the house at Kniprodestraße 6 , it forms a historical building ensemble that shapes the cityscape . It was therefore included on December 2, 1999 as an architectural monument in the list of historical monuments of the city of Wuppertal.
The house was used for decades as a community hall, community office and home for the sexton . After the new parish hall was completed a few years ago, it was sold and is now privately owned.
