Some street names in Werden are sometimes centuries old, but before they became official and were used to number houses, they were location names. The first official names have been known since 1860. In 1897 a commission, consisting of Messrs. Albert Mittweg, Landmesser Schmidt and Wilhelm Wittköpper, dealt with the official naming of streets and the street numbering of buildings. Their proposal was put into effect on May 10, 1898 by Mayor Johann Emil Trapp. Since then, street numbering has existed in Werden. In 1929 Werden was incorporated into the city of Essen.
