Immediately to the south runs the state road 141n (L 141n / Viehbachtalstraße) , which has been converted into a motor vehicle , with its junction on the Mangenberg . Downstream are first Mittel- and then Untengönrath . To the west is the locality of Dingshaus , to the north are Kleinenberg and Lehn .

etymology

The suffix of the word Obengönrath, the syllable -rath , indicates that the area in question first had to be cleared for reclamation . The prefix above separates the courtyard from the other two courtyards of the same name. The origin of the determinant Gön- is unclear .

According to Dittmaier , the defining word Gön goes to mndd. those , jone in the meaning " those ", " beyond " back. Gönrath therefore has the meaning " otherworldly clearing ".

history

The Hofschaft Gönrath can be traced back to the 13th century, probably the court Untengönrath than Fronhof of Altenberg Abbey is the oldest. Gönrath is mentioned in a document in 1340 as Gheenroede , 1362 as Gunreidt and 1488 as Gunroidt .

Perhaps Obengönrath has its origins in the 15th century. In 1715 , Erich Philipp Ploennies listed Obengönrath on the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen , with a farm and named it as o. Gönradt . He belonged to the Scheid Honschaft within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as Gönrathoben and the Prussian first recording from 1844 as Ob: Gönrath . In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is recorded as Obengönrath .

Many judges in the Solingen office, especially in the period from 1670 to the 18th century, came from the Wald-Merscheider family, the Kyllmann merchant family. Most of them had their residence in the Dahl or Gönrath courts , which meant that court was held there for a time. The judges and jury houses in Dahl testify to this chapter of history. In addition, various lay judges and court clerks lived in Dahl and Gönrath at that time, including Wilhelm Dinger in Mittelgönrath or the court clerks from the von Märcken family in Obengönrath.

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, Obengönrath belonged to the Wald mayor's office . In 1815/16 31 people lived in Ober-Gönrath, known as the hamlet, in 1830 34 people . In 1832 the place was part of the Second Dorfhonschaft within the mayor's office Wald, there it was in the corridor IV. ( Gönrath ). The place, categorized as Hofstadt according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had a public building, five residential buildings and five agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 38 people lived in the village, two of them Catholic and 36 Protestant. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with eleven houses and 52 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, eight houses with 47 inhabitants are given for Obergönrath . In 1895 the district had nine houses with 62 inhabitants, in 1905 nine houses and 61 inhabitants are given.

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, the Obengönrath court became a part of Solingen. As one of the few actually realized sections of the planned Autobahn 54 , a four-lane motor road through the Viehbachtal was built at the end of the 1970s on the section from An der Gemarke to Mangenberg. This section of the Viehbachtalstraße, dedicated as L 141n, was opened to traffic on August 31, 1979. After numerous complaints from residents about too much noise, a number of measures for improved noise protection were introduced in the following year . The construction of the Viehbachtalstraße between Mangenberg and Frankfurter Damm past Obengönrath took place until 1981. However, no further expansion took place; the A 54 was never completed.

Of the historic half-timbered houses in Obengönrath, the buildings Obengönrath 10, 12, 14 as well as 16 and 16a have been under monument protection since 1987 .
