Etymology and history
In the 19th century Leyenfeld belonged to the Uellendahler Rotte of the Lord Mayor's Office of Elberfeld . The place is marked on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 as Leye and on the Prussian first survey from 1843 unlabeled. The location is inscribed in the Elberfeld measuring table until the second half of the 20th century.
No inhabitants are counted in 1815/16. The place, categorized as Kotten according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district in 1832 , was designated as am Leienfeld and at that time had two residential buildings and two agricultural buildings. At that time, 17 residents lived in the village, one Catholic and 16 Protestant.
A coal path ran past Leyenfeld from Sprockhövel to Elberfeld (here today's Westfalenweg ), on which coal was transported from the mines in the southern Ruhr area to the factories in Wuppertal in the late 18th century and in the first half of the 19th century that time was the industrial heart of the region.
The original yard was sold in the 1950s / 1960s and new residential buildings were built from the 1970s.
