The Hofschaft Rüden is located in the Solingen district of Burg / Höhscheid on the banks of the Wupper . It is divided into the two villages lower- and top dogs . Due to two excursion restaurants and several cycle paths that run along the Wupper, Rüden is particularly popular with hikers and cyclists. One of the paths that lead through male dogs is the blade path , which encloses the whole of Solingen for almost 70 kilometers.
Male dogs are best known for the legend of the male dog ( here : male dog), who is said to have saved the life of his master, the Duke of Berg , after his fall. A memorial that commemorates this incident, called Rüdenstein , is located in a forest area near Obenrüden .
geography
Both districts are located in the secluded valley of the Wupper on the section between the Balkhauser and the Wipperkotten on the southern city limits of Leichlingen . Rüden can be reached from the Solingen district of Widdert , which is one kilometer north. The district of Obenrüden is the insignificantly larger of the two; it is only about 300 meters downstream from the district of Unterrüden . Behind the courtyard, the heavily wooded Wupperberge tower towards Widdert. The neighboring Hofschaft Friedrichstal is located about 700 meters to the west of Unterrüden .
history
The time of the first settlement of Rüdens is unclear, but due to the flat terrain and its suitability for agriculture and handicrafts , it will have taken place no later than the 15th century. The origin of the name is also controversial. This hardly comes from the legend, as the area was most likely already inhabited before. A document from 1374 already mentions the place by name.
In 1588 the place name Im Riden appears in the Nesselrath Heberegister . A mill is also mentioned in 1605 . In the course of new buildings in 1737 (inner chambers) and 1797 (outer chambers) this was converted into a grinding chamber. For a long time this Kotten was called the Blaumühle , a name derived from the old mill. It later became the Obenrüdener Kotten , which was rebuilt as a brick building after the half-timbered building burned down in 1906.
The map Topographia Ducatus Montani from 1715 shows both upper and lower male dogs as single farms, both farms are labeled as male dogs . In the 18th century, the two places belonged to the Honschaft Widdert of the parish of Solingen in the Bergisch office of Solingen . The Topographic the Rhineland in 1824 and the Prussian Uraufnahme of 1844 show both places as downward dog or above males .
In 1815/16 90 people lived in Obenrüden, 63 in Unterrüden. In 1832, both places continued to belong to the mayor's office of Höhscheid within the Widdert community . Both places were categorized as village communities in the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district . At that time Obenrüden owned 16 residential buildings and 18 agricultural buildings, while Unterrüden owned 14 residential buildings and ten agricultural buildings. At that time 114 inhabitants (two Catholic and 112 Protestant) lived in Obenrüden, 79 (four Catholic and 75 Protestant) in Obenrüden.
In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1885, 31 houses with 153 inhabitants are given for Obenrüden and 20 houses with 107 inhabitants for Unterrüden. In 1895 the towns had 22 and 18 houses with 202 and 96 inhabitants respectively, in 1905 30 and 18 houses and 162 and 97 inhabitants respectively.
Today there are still many old Bergisch half-timbered houses in Rüden. Like many other courts in the Bergisches Land , the old buildings often outlast centuries away from the metropolitan areas. Ten buildings in Rüden alone are listed as architectural monuments .

The monument is located on a slope opposite the Obenrüdener Kotten in a wooded area. It shows a male looking up on a stone plinth with his mouth open. The inscription contains the year the monument was built (1927) and the Widdert Beautification Association as the initiator. The figure itself is made of artificial stone . The monument has been a popular tourist attraction since its inception.
Local transport
On weekdays, Rüden is connected to the Solingen public utility bus network by line 697 with its own stop in Unterrüden . Due to the popularity of Rüdens for walkers and hikers, there is also a connection to the 691 bus to Ohligs on Sundays and public holidays .
