history

Holz bei Gräfrath was first mentioned in a document in 1487 as opme Holtz .

In the map series Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Solingen , from the year 1715, the place is recorded with a farm and named as o. Holt . The farm belonged to the Ketzberg Honschaft within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as Oben zum Holz and the Prussian first survey from 1843 as Ober Holz. In the topographical map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the court is shown as the top of the wood .

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, Oben zum Holz belonged to the Gräfrath mayor's office . In 1815/16 127 people lived in the village, which was categorized as a hamlet , in 1830 150 people . In 1832, Oben zum Holz was still part of the Honschaft (Ketz-) Berg within the Gräfrath mayor. The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf government district , had 21 residential buildings, seven factories or mills and 29 agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 140 people lived in the village, 57 of them Catholic and 83 Protestant. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with 31 houses and 187 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1885, 34 houses with 219 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the district had 26 houses with 154 inhabitants, in 1905 28 houses and 187 inhabitants are given.
