history

Mankhausen, which historically consists of the two courtyards Oben- and Untermankhaus, can be traced back to the 15th century. The first mention of Mankhausen found in 1488 in the tithe register of the monastery Altenberg , in which the place as Manckhyss / Monckhyss is recorded. In 1715 Erich Philipp Ploennies recorded the place in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen , with two farms and named it Mankhusen . Both farms belonged to the Barl Honschaft within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 shows the northwestern location as Ober Mankhauſen and the southeast location as Unter Mankhauſen. The Prussian first recording from 1844 records one place as Ob: Mankhaus , the other as Unt: Mankhaus . In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is also recorded without a name.

After the establishment of the Mairien and later mayor's offices at the beginning of the 19th century, Obenmankhaus belonged to the Merscheid mayor , which was elevated to the status of town in 1856 and renamed Ohligs in 1891.

1815/16 lived together 128, in 1830 148 people together in a hamlet called top - and Untenmankhaus . In 1832 the place was still part of the Honschaft Barl within the mayor's office Merscheid, there it was in the corridor VII. Mankhaus . The place, which was categorized as a Hofstadt according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had 13 residential buildings and 18 agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 93 residents lived in the place, three of them Catholic and 90 Protestant denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with 30 houses and 201 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, 23 houses with 137 inhabitants are given for Obenmankhaus. In 1895 the district had 23 houses with 152 inhabitants.

The Robert Klaas company was founded as a factory for penknives in the Scharrenberg estate in 1834. In 1843 she moved to a residential building in the Obenmankhaus estate, where the Klaas factory is still located today. The cutlery factory expanded continuously and in 1908 erected the four-storey business building on Pfeilstrasse, which characterizes the area. In 1934 the company celebrated its 100th anniversary, one year later the path leading to the company from Merscheider Straße was renamed Robert-Klaas-Straße. The company, based in Obenmankhaus, is still run today as a manufacture of handmade cutlery.

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, the Obenmankhaus estate became a district of Solingen. Since the year 1986 are the many historic half-timbered houses in the building Obenmankhaus 1, 3, 5, 22 and 40, including the historic water pump , 46, 48 and 50 under monument protection .
