Ochsenkamp , also Auf dem Ochsenkamp , is a location and field name in the Bergisch city of Wuppertal . The majority of the population no longer has the name Ochsenkamp as an independent name for this location.
Location and description
The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 shows the location of Ochsenkamp, with the etymological meaning “ox pasture”. It is located in the valley of the Wupper on the north bank of the river in front of the southeastern foothills of the Nützenberg . Neighboring locations are Am Brill , Am Grünewalder Berg and Untere Steinbeck .
In the 18th century, the Ochsenkamp was at the gates of Elberfeld , now in the Elberfeld-West district , and was occasionally used for meetings.
history
In 1711, Reformed Christians from all over the Bergisches Land gathered on the Ochsenkamp and followed the sermon of the traveling preacher Ernst Christoph Hochmann von Hochenau . The sermon, from which Johann Heinrich Jung-Stilling reported in writing about the event that occurred to him, was the initial of the beginning of a movement in Elberfeld. A splinter group of Pietists formed around the tape manufacturer Elias Eller and developed into a revival movement . Eller's presence at the Ochsenkamp at the Hochenau sermon is not documented, he later became the founder and leader of a radical pietist Christian sect of the Zionites and the city of Ronsdorf .
On May 7, 1762, Hanoverian troops met French troops who were occupying Elberfeld at Ochsenkamp and defeated them here.
In 1832 Ochsenkamp belonged to the Hülsbeck Rotte in the rural outskirts of the Elberfeld parish . The place, categorized as Kotten according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , was referred to as Auf dem Ochsenkamp and at that time owned a residential house and an agricultural building. At that time, twelve people lived in the place, five of them Catholic and seven Protestant.
In the 19th century, at the time of industrialization, two industrial areas developed in Elberfeld. One in the east in the area of the eastern Hofaue and with the development of the area with the western Königsstrasse (today Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse) on Ochsenkamp. In 1837, the Boeddinghaus brothers' company was the first to settle here, followed by the Küpper brewery in 1845 .
