history

Mark was first mentioned in 1850, the origin of the place is presumably dated to 1838. Mark is one of the youngest settlements in Halver. Freestanding until the second half of the 20th century, Mark, like the neighboring Felsenberg, was integrated into the expanding housing development of Schwenkes.

At Mark, along the route of today's federal road 229 and district road 3, a presumably prehistoric old road ran from Schwelm via Radevormwald to Wegerhof , which was used as an iron and coal road. This was crossed by another important old road from Wipperfürth to Breckerfeld .

On June 30, 1910, the neighboring Schwenke was connected to the railway network with the opening of the Wuppertal Railway. Felsenberg was close to the branch line running from Wuppertal-Oberbarmen or Remscheid-Lennep via Krebsöge and Radevormwald, Schwenke and Halver to Oberbrügge . The railway line, which had never been of economic importance, was closed for passenger traffic on May 30, 1964. A few years later, freight traffic was also discontinued and the line was finally dismantled.
