etymology

The name Marscheid (1466 Marscheyd, 1471 Marscheidt) is interpreted as a swamp area ( maar ) on a border (Scheid) . Not unlikely, however, is -scheid ('watershed') for the ridge between the two stream valleys on which Marscheid lies. An interpretation as a marrow sheath , i.e. 'border place', is also conceivable.

history

The first written mention of Marscheid comes from the year 1360. It belonged to the Erbschlö Honschaft in the parish of Lüttringhausen . Until 1407, the court and the Honschaft belonged to the Bergisch Amt Bornefeld , but this year they passed to the Amt Beyenburg . The official border to Schwelm in the Electorate of Cologne , later in Mark Brandenburg, along the Wupper was secured by two lines of the Bergische Landwehr , of which the Elberfeld line ran directly north of the hamlet. As early as 1710, eight houses are counted in Blombach.

On the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, the farm is listed as Maschet . On the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 a place is recorded as Maarscheid , on the Prussian first survey of 1843 as Marscheid .

Also in 1832 Marscheid was the titular place of the Marscheider Rotte of the rural outskirts of the city of Ronsdorf . The place, categorized as a village according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , had 17 residential houses and eight agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 143 people lived in the place, 23 Catholic and 120 Protestant faith. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, 15 houses with 122 inhabitants are given.
