history

On the route of today's Lützowstrasse in the early modern era, a transport route for coal from the Ruhr area to the city of Solingen. Along this old coal road , on the section between the I. Stockdum and Laiken, several court estates emerged over time, including Laiken itself, which perhaps only came into being at the beginning of the 19th century. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 already shows buildings at the site, which, however, belong to the Heider Hof. The Prussian first recording from 1843 lists the place as Leicken . In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, however, the place is not recorded.

After the establishment of the Mairien and later mayor's offices at the beginning of the 19th century, Laiken belonged to the Gräfrath honors within the Gräfrath mayor's office . In 1815/16 four people lived in the place called Layken . In 1832 Laiken was still part of the (Ketz-) Berg Honschaft within the Gräfrath mayor. The place, which was categorized as a day laborer apartment according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had two residential buildings and an agricultural building at the time. At that time 15 residents lived in the place, three of them Catholic and twelve Protestant denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with two houses and 19 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1885, two houses with ten residents are given. In 1895 the district had three houses with 21 inhabitants, in 1905 three houses and 16 inhabitants are given.

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, the village of Laiken became a district of Solingen. The nearby residential street with the street name Laiken was laid out in the third quarter of the 20th century on former arable land east of Laiken and built on with houses.
