history

In addition to a house in freedom, the Ottengut is mentioned as a property of the Otto family in the Elberfeld church roll from 1551. But before 1302 a lay judge from Elberfeld with the name Johannes von Ottenbruke appears in a document or is mentioned in another source with the name Johannes de Ottenbruke as a lay judge of the Elberfeld court. The Briller Bach is said to have been called Ottenbrucher Bach in earlier times.

On the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, the place with two living spaces is recorded as 'Ortenbrüg'. A certain Otto is mentioned as the owner of the Ottenbrucher Gutes farm.

In 1815/16, 50 people lived in the area. On the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824, the location is labeled Ottenbruch .

In 1832 Ottenbruch belonged to the Hülsbeck group in the rural outskirts of the Elberfeld parish . The place, categorized as a hamlet according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , was designated as im Ottenbruch and at that time had seven residential buildings and nine agricultural buildings. At that time, 48 residents lived in the village, including one Catholic and 47 Protestant.

Ottenbruch is recorded as 'Im Ottenbruch' in the address books from 1850 to 1858. After 1865 Gustav Platzhoff (1821–1887) had a residential building ('Gut Ottenbruch') built with large parks in Ottenbruch. Among other things, Platzhoff had today's Platzhoffstrasse and Sadowastrasse in the Briller district built on the site.

Ottenbruch has merged into the later residential development. Ottenbruch station to the northwest on the Düsseldorf-Derendorf-Dortmund Süd railway line opened in 1879 is named after her . Furthermore, on September 23, 1864, Ottenbrucher Strasse in the northern part of the Elberfeld was named after its location.
