Location of Lindersberg in Solingen

Lindersberg is a locality in the mountainous city ​​of Solingen .

geography

Lindersberg lies on a hill above the Itter west of the Fuhr in the north of the Wald district . The place is located along Bausmühlenstraße on the section from Ittertalstraße in the direction of Buckert and in parts also on the valley slope that slopes down to Itterstausee , there especially on Heliosweg. In the north are Kotzert, Knynsbusch and the Zieleskotten . In the west, in the valley floor of the Itter, is Obenitter with the historic Ittertal amusement park . Westersburg and Schneppert are in the south of Lindersberg . The former railway embankment of the corkscrew route runs to the east .

The name of the place today bears a street branching off from Ittertalstrasse, which leads directly past the Itterstausee with some residential buildings.

etymology

The name of the place is derived from the family name Linder. This family is a grinder family that has been active in the upper Ittertal for centuries and that owned some Schleifkotten in the area. Brangs points out that the name Linder suggests that the family comes from a village called Linden .

history

The settlement on Lindersberg in the first half of the 19th century was very likely related to the Lindersberg private school , which was founded in 1839 on top of the mountain. Due to a lack of public schools in the upper Itter district, some parents took care of setting up one themselves. This happened with the establishment of the Lindersberg School, which was initially housed in a private hedgehog forest house, before a year later a schoolhouse was built on Lindersberg. The Prussian premiere in 1844 already records this school. The place appears labeled as Linderberg for the first time in the 1893 edition of the Solingen measuring table sheet of the official topographic map 1: 25,000 on maps. The Lindersberg School was the earliest predecessor of today's Westersburg primary school.

Lindersberg belonged to the forest mayor , later the first residents settled in the village near the school. The settlement developed in a loosened construction both on the ridge (= on today's Bausmühlenstraße) and on the valley slope (= on Heliosweg). The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with nine houses and 83 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province from 1888, 16 houses with 133 inhabitants are given for Lindersberg. In 1895 the district had 20 houses with 217 inhabitants, in 1905 23 houses and 194 inhabitants are given.

As early as 1913 to 1916, an open-air swimming pool was built in Mittelitter on the private initiative of the industrialist Carl Friedrich Ern , the lido Ittertal . After the First World War , water pollution from industry and neighboring residential areas in particular caused problems for the quality of the lido water . As a result, a reservoir with a dam was built above the lido near Lindersberg , which was fed from the Holzer Bach . The construction costs of around 200,000 marks were taken over by the district of Solingen in 1927/1928 , as well as the towns of Gräfrath , Wald and Haan .

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Lindersberg became a district of Solingen. In the post-war period , the place grew together with the nearby Buckert due to structural expansion to the northeast along Bausmühlenstraße, so that the two places can no longer be separated from each other today.
