History and etymology
Mollenkotten was mentioned in a document as early as 1625 as Moddenkotten . Modding is a form of Modde or Modder (= dirt), a Kotten is a smaller part of the yard. The name “Dirty Kotten” probably reflects the nature of the terrain - a soil unsuitable for agriculture, which, due to a thick layer of clay, causes a strong accumulation of surface water in the swampy forest plots after rainfall. Many places in the area therefore have the fraction of their name .
The Kotten, like Busch and Weuste, belonged to the holdings of the Essen Abbey in Nachbarebreck and was probably built in the 16th century as a split from one of these farms.
During the Thirty Years' War , the Kotten, like Weuste, was devastated by a Soldateska , because in 1650 a Peter von Schee and his wife from the Mollenkott family took " the house ... fundamentally ruined and nothing left " on a lease . Peter's descendants also bore the name Mollenkott (en). The Mollenkott (en) family came from the old Oberhof Möllenkotten in neighboring Schwelm, lived there for many generations and was finally known in the 18th century as one of the Wupperfeld merchant and dignitary families .
Mollenkotten belonged in the early modern period to Gogericht District Schwelm in official weather the Counts of Mark . According to canon law it was in the parish of Schwelm. After the conquest of the County of Mark by France , Mollenkotten was part of the Mairie Haßlinghausen in the Hagen arrondissement of the Ruhr department in the Grand Duchy of Berg from 1806 to 1813 . In 1815 the French-occupied area came to Prussia , which Mollenkotten allocated to the newly created district of Hagen the following year . From 1887 to 1922 Mollenkotten belonged to the office and the community of Nachbarebreck in the Schwelm district, which was split off from the district of Hagen . In 1922 Nebenebreck was incorporated into the city of Barmen , which in 1929 was united with the city of Elberfeld and other cities and communities to form Wuppertal.
Mollenkotten was on an important coal road from Witten to Elberfeld - today's state road 432, on which the factories in the Wupper area were supplied with fuel by independent coal drivers . To the north of the road, a Johan Gisbert Trottenberg built another house diagonally across from Mollenkotten in 1784 , which was named Lange in the middle of the 19th century . Today's neighboring riding stables on the same side of the street are listed there under the name Dellmann on the Prussian first photo from 1840.
The Landesstraße has been named after Mollenkotten since 1935 along its entire length between Einern and Schmiedestraße . It was previously called Berghausstrasse .
