history

Neuland appears as Neueland on the map of the town of Ronsdorf by geometer JW Buschmann from 1790. The farm is recorded on the 1824 topographical survey of the Rhineland .

A coal road ran through uncharted territory and connected the southern Ruhr area (including the Nachtigall colliery in Witten ) via Barmen and Ronsdorf with Remscheid. It was used in particular to transport coal to the metalworking companies and forges in the Morsbachtal and in the Remscheid area. In the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, this road was already mentioned, which has developed into a ravine in places over the centuries and was placed under protection in this section as a ground monument in 2009 . It led from Neuland over the green towards Spelsberg and then into the Morsbachtal.
