history

In the early modern times, a transport route for coal to the city of Solingen ran along the route of today's Lützowstrasse . Along this old coal road , on the section between the I. Stockdum and Laiken, several court estates emerged over time, including Rauenhaus, which has only been documented since the 18th century. In the map series Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Solingen , from the year 1715, the place is recorded as a single Kotten and named as Rauhenhus . The living space belonged to the Honschaft Ketzberg within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as a Rauhenhaus and the Prussian first survey of 1844 as a Rauenhaus . In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the court is also listed as a Rauenhaus .

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, Rauenhaus belonged to the Gräfrath mayor's office . In 1815/16 there were 25 inhabitants, in 1830 29 people lived in the place categorized as a hamlet . In 1832 Rauenhaus was still part of the Honschaft (Ketz-) Berg within the Gräfrath mayor. The place, which was categorized as a Hofstadt according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had three residential buildings, a factory or mill and four agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 31 residents lived in the place, 16 of them Catholic and 15 Protestant denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with 17 houses and 150 inhabitants. In 1885, the municipality encyclopedia for the Rhineland province lists 24 houses with 133 inhabitants. In 1895 the district had 19 houses with 128 inhabitants, in 1905 23 houses and 171 inhabitants are given.

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, the Hofschaft became a district of Solingen. The place name Rauenhaus is still recorded in the Solingen city map, although the buildings that still exist today are numbered on Lützow and Dycker Strasse.
