history

In the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824, the place is recorded as Pipersberg . In the Prussian first survey from 1843 and in the topographical map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the location is recorded and named as Piepersberg . Around 1815 the old road from Vohwinkel via Gräfrath to Solingen was expanded to become the Essen – Solingen Provincial Road, today's federal road 224.

After the establishment of the Mairien and later mayor's offices at the beginning of the 19th century, the Piepersberg belonged to the Gräfrath mayor's office . In 1832 the place was part of the Honschaft (Ketz-) Berg within the Gräfrath mayor's office. The place, which was categorized as an arable property according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had a residential house and an agricultural building at that time. At that time, 98 residents lived in the village, all of whom were evangelicals. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with one house and seven residents. In the municipality encyclopedia for the Rhineland province of 1888, four houses with 38 inhabitants are given for the place. In 1895 the district had three houses with 29 inhabitants, in 1905 four houses and 42 inhabitants are given.

In the third quarter of the 19th century, a large industrial complex was built in Piepersberg. This was used by the former Nivella cutlery factory, which was later bought by the Silag company. Silag last operated a warehouse for special items on the factory premises . This was given up on May 15, 2009, the company moved to new premises in the neighboring town of Langenfeld .

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Piepersberg became a district of Solingen. Most of the residential buildings belonging to the local area were laid down between 1988 and 1994. The large area west of the village between Roggenkamp and Wuppertaler Straße was used for agriculture until the beginning of the 2000s. With the aim of increasing the supply of commercial space with good transport connections, the Solingen economic development company came into possession of the site on Piepersberg. The Piepersberg Business Park was built there from the end of the 2000s after the necessary infrastructure was created . The first companies with Bechtle , Langer Hydraulik, Artimax, ICX and Wegatrade quickly settled on the 22- hectare site by 2010 . This was followed, among other things, by the envelope manufacturer Bong and the company Item Industrietechnik , which built a wholesaler with production facilities on what is by far the largest property in the north of Piepersberg. From 2016, only smaller remaining areas will be available.

In 2015, plans were announced that a multi-purpose hall with 7,000 seats would be built on a site west of the Piepersberg business park. The so-called Arena Bergisch Land is primarily intended to serve as the home ground of the Bergisch HC , but it will also be used for other events. The arena will be located in the city of Solingen, but will be accessible from Wuppertal - Vohwinkel .
