history

The Neuenkotten probably already existed in 1683, when Heinrich Weck and Peter Plücker are named as its owners in a document. He belonged to the Itter Honschaft within the Solingen office. The Kotten is recorded in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen , by Erich Philipp Ploennies in 1715 . The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 shows the Kotten as well as the Prussian first survey from 1844 and the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871. The place belonged to the mayor's office of Wald within the Prussian district of Solingen .

The Kotten was rebuilt and expanded in the middle of the 19th century so that it could also serve as a residential building. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with one house and four residents. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, Neuenkotten was given a house with ten residents. In 1895 the district owned a house with six inhabitants, in 1905 one house and 21 inhabitants are given.

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Neuenkotten became part of Solingen. It is not known when the grinding operation was stopped. In 1940, however, the Neuenkotten was only a residential building. It was finally canceled in 1981.
