Etymology and history

Bruch is a common name for a swampy, watery area. In the local dialect the place was also called Langenbrook .

In the 19th century Langenbruch belonged to the outlying villages of the farmers and the parish of Dönberg in the mayor's office Hardenberg , which was renamed Neviges in 1935 . From 1816 to 1861 it belonged to the Elberfeld district and from 1861 to the old Mettmann district .

The place is marked on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824. On the Prussian first recording from 1843 the place is labeled as Langenbroich , on the Wuppertal city map from 1930 as Langenbruch . Address books from 1935 to 1954/55 use the spelling Am Langenbruch , after which the street name changed to Am Langen Bruch .

In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province from 1888, a house with four residents is given.

With the municipal reform of 1929, the southern part of Dönberg was split off from Neviges and incorporated into the newly founded city of Wuppertal with other Neviges villages outside Dönberg, including Langenbruch. The city boundary between Wuppertal and Neviges ran north of Langenbruch until 1975, and south of it that from Neviges to Elberfeld until 1929. As a result of the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the rest of the Dönberg was also incorporated into Wuppertal. As a result, Langenbruch lost its border position.
