etymology

The Walder Scheid or Scheidt was a forest area in the border area to the parish of Solingen. It comprised the farms Oben- and Untenscheidt , as well as Scheiderfeld, Mummenscheid, the Scheider Mühle and the location Scheiderirlen . The part of the name Scheid is a field name that occurs in many regions, see also: -scheid . Its origin can probably be traced back to Scheiden , Scheide = Grenz . In the case of Mummenscheidt, a watershed can also be meant in addition to a municipal boundary .

The defining word Mumm- goes back to the name of the Lower Rhine noble family Mumm von Schwarzenstein. Friedrich Anton von Mum zu Scheid lived from 1690, whose family name later passed on to the court. In the 19th century, the farm became the property of the Paffrath family, which is how the name Paffrathscheid came about for a short time , but this has not been preserved. Famous swordsmiths , among others, sprang from the Solingen branch of the Mumm family . Mummstrasse in downtown Solingen also bears the family's name.

history

From the late Middle Ages until the 19th century, Scheid was the titular place of the Honschaft Scheid , a lower administrative district of the Wald parish within the Bergisch office of Solingen . Mummenscheid belonged to this honor from the beginning . According to some sources, the history of Mummenscheid as a free aristocratic estate can be traced back to the first half of the 15th century. It was inhabited from 1690 by Friedrich Anton von Mum, who was the chief bailiff of the Solingen crafts.

In 1715 the place is listed as a knight seat by Erich Philipp Ploennies on the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen, and named as M. Scheid . The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as Tangenscheid and the Prussian first survey from 1844 as Paffrathscheid . In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is also recorded as Paffrathscheid .

After the establishment of the Mairien and later mayor's offices at the beginning of the 19th century, Mummenscheid belonged to the mayor's office in Wald , where it was located in corridor V. ( forest ). In 1815/16 12 people lived in the hamlet called Mummscheid , in 1830 13 people . In 1832 the place was part of the second village honors within the forest mayor. The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , had two residential buildings and four agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 29 residents lived in the place, seven of them Catholic and 21 Protestant denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with nine houses and 49 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, eight houses with 51 residents are given for Mummenscheidt . In 1895 the district had seven houses with 46 inhabitants, in 1905 three houses and 49 inhabitants are given.

With the aim of better connecting the city of Wald to the city of Solingen , the Zeppelinstrasse was built on a dam in 1912 , named after the airship designer Ferdinand von Zeppelin , which crossed the impassable Lochbach valley past Mummenscheid. With the city association of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Mummenscheid became a district of Solingen. The courtyard buildings in Mummenscheid were still used for agriculture until the post-war period after the Second World War . Since 1985 the entire half-timbered courtyard with the address Mummenscheid 4, 5, 6, 8 has been a listed building . Today the entire complex is used for residential purposes.
