history

Röttgen is mentioned in the 16th century under the name Uffm Rottgen . The name Rottgen is also recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 . In the early modern period, the place belonged to the Oberste Siebeneick peasantry in the Bergish rule of Hardenberg .

In 1815/16 the place, which at the time was on the border between Elberfeld and the mayor of Hardenberg , had five residents.

In 1832 part of the village belonged to the Katernberger Rotte of the rural outskirts of the parish and the city of Elberfeld . The place, categorized as Kotten according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , was referred to as aufm Röttchen and at that time had two residential buildings and an agricultural building. At that time there were 69 people living in the village, all of whom were Protestant.

In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, a house with eleven inhabitants is given for the Hardenberger part of the village.

With the municipal reform of 1929, the southeastern part of Obensiebeneick around the Hardenberger Röttgen was split off and incorporated into the newly founded town of Wuppertal together with the southern Dönberger villages, the rest of Obensiebeneick initially remained with Neviges. Due to the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the rest of Obensiebeneick was also incorporated into Wuppertal.
