history

Osterholz is recorded for the first time on the maps of the Prussian first recording from 1843. The place became known at the end of the 19th century for a popular excursion restaurant called New America , which is still often used to denote the entire settlement. The restaurant was demolished in the 1950s because it was on the planned route of the federal highway 31 . However, these building plans were already rejected in the 1980s.

In 1975 the community of Schöller and the Wülfrath district of Dornap and their suburbs were split off from the Düsseldorf-Mettmann district and incorporated into Wuppertal as the Schöller-Dornap residential area. Osterholz came to Wuppertal from Schöller.
