history

In 1548 the place is mentioned for the first time under the name "Sneppe" in the lists of the Bergisch tension and barge services . The Topographia Ducatus Montani map from 1715 shows the localities of Ober- and Mittelschneppen under the common name of "Schnep" , each with three courtyards. From the chart of the Duchy of Berg by Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking from 1789 it emerges that Schneppen was the titular place of the Honschaft Schneppen in the parish of Wipperfeld . The topographical photograph of the Rhineland from 1824 shows five separate floor plans on a delimited courtyard under the name “Mittel Schneppe” . From the Prussian first recording in 1844, the place name Mittelschneppen is used.

A granite crossroads in the local area dates from 1935 .
