Location of Linde (Remscheid) in Remscheid

Linde is a residential area of Remscheid on the northern edge of the city. It belongs to the district of Lüttringhausen .

Linde was formerly a court in the form of a street village that belonged to the city of Lüttringhausen and was partly incorporated in 1929 (house numbers 1–100) to Wuppertal in the Ronsdorf district . The new border can also be seen visually through the A1 motorway, which has cut through both parts of the residential area since the 1950s.

Ecclesiastically, the affiliation for both areas of the linden tree to Lüttringhausen still exists. The name "Linde" is apparently a newer name, which could come from the trees of the same name.

history

At the beginning of the 19th century, the road from Lüttringhausen to Oberbarmen (Rittershausen) was built. It originally took its course over the linden tree with a huge difference in altitude. When the railway line was built, it was brought under the bridge at the later “Remscheider Linde” and created a bottleneck for road traffic for later times. The cobblestones from the 19th century were reminiscent of the past.

It was not until the 1950s that the road was rebuilt (until the 21st century as Bundesstraße 51), and so the thoroughfare took its new course, while only the access road remained important for the adjacent industry.

Old bridge on the linden tree

In 2014 the natural gas pipeline running over the railway bridge was laid under the rails and from March 2015 the old bridge was replaced by a new one.

A number of old residential buildings in the earlier design characterize the streetscape along the linden tree, along with many new buildings and conversions. House No. 161 is a listed building.

Infrastructure

A few trades, haulage and craft businesses mark the linden tree. There used to be two restaurants on the linden tree. In the past, house ribbon weaving dominated here.
