Etymology and history

The name Niederfurth is derived from a ford over the Düssel. Niederfurth was about 100 meters downstream from the town of Oberfurth, which is now known as Hahnenfurth.

The farm is first mentioned in 1695 in the pedigree of the name bearers "Cürten" from Niederfurth. In that year, an Antonius Cürten from Gut Voisberg acquired the farm from Ackerer Erich Forsthof. The farm is listed as n.Fuhrt on the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715. In the 19th century Niederfurth was a residential area in the rural community of Schöller of the Haan mayor (from 1894 Gruiten mayor ), which emerged from the Bergisch rule of Schöller . On the topographical recording of the Rhineland from 1824 the place is labeled with Furth and on the Prussian first recording from 1843 with Hahnenfurth . On measuring table sheets up to the middle of the 20th century the place is labeled as panties .

In 1888, according to the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province , the place had five houses with 55 inhabitants. The place is called Niederfurth at this time .

With the regional reform of 1975, the community of Schöller was split off from the Gruiten office in the Düsseldorf-Mettmann district and incorporated into Wuppertal as the Schöller-Dornap residential area.
