In 1832 Monschau belonged to the Holthauser Rotte in the rural outskirts of the city of Ronsdorf . The place, which was categorized as individual houses according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had four residential buildings and one agricultural building at the time. At that time, 64 people lived in the village, ten of them Catholic and 54 Protestant.
