history

View of Rathland

In the map series Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Solingen , from the year 1715, the place is recorded with a farm and named as Rodland . The farm belonged to the Ketzberg Honschaft within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as Ralland and the Prussian first survey of 1844 as Radland . In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the court is listed as the council land .

After the establishment of the Mairien and later mayor's offices at the beginning of the 19th century, Rathland belonged to the Gräfrath mayor . In 1815/16 there were 38 inhabitants, in 1830 43 people lived in the place categorized as a hamlet and designated as Rottland . In 1832 Rathland was still part of the Honschaft (Ketz-) Berg within the Gräfrath mayor. The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf government district , had six residential buildings, five factories or mills and eight agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 53 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 eleven houses and 64 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland in 1885 nine houses with 58 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the district had nine houses with 58 inhabitants, in 1905 ten houses and 51 inhabitants are given.

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, the Hofschaft became a district of Solingen. The historic half-timbered ensemble at house numbers 30, 32, and 34 has been a listed building in Rathland since 1995 .
