history

The pastorate is, as the name pastorate also suggests, the former farm yard of the Protestant parish of Leichlingen and was the residence of the pastor . The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and the Prussian first survey of 1844 list him as a pastorate and pastorate , the Leichlinger municipality map from 1830 shows the place unlabeled.

In 1832 the pastorate belonged to the mayor's office in Leichlingen . The place, categorized as a vicarage according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , had a residential house and two agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, six people lived in the village, all of whom were Protestant. In 1867 the Gruiten – Cologne – Mülheim railway line was opened west of Staderhof .

In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1885 a house with seven inhabitants is given. In 1895 the place had two houses with no residents, in 1905 one house and two residents.

The historic courtyard building was destroyed by bombs in an air raid. In 2008, a 42-meter-long pedestrian bridge was built over the Wupper for one million euros to enable the pupils of the school center to have a shorter and safer way to school.
