History and structure

The Bergisches Land was settled late. It was not until the Middle Ages that the foundations for iron-based businesses came into being in the iron-stone area of Remscheid; racing fire slag and the rest of a kiln were found. The iron processing industry is still local today. In the Hammertal there used to be a lot of hammers and grinding heads . Reinshagen and Güldenwerth have now grown together to form a closed development.

Reinshagen belonged to the Bornefeld office until 1806, and from 1806 to 1813 to the canton of Ronsdorf in the Elberfeld arrondissement in the Napoleonic Grand Duchy of Kleve and Berg .

The local district Reinshagen belonged within the mayor's office of Remscheid from 1816 to 1888 to the district of Lennep in the administrative district of Düsseldorf . In 1832 the local district consisted of the Wendung inn, the hamlet of Güldenwerth, individual houses in Bornstahl, the Reinshagen village, the Westhausen village, individual houses in Küppelstein, the hamlet with several hammers Müngsten and the Gockelshammer . During this time this district had 97 houses, 43 factories and mills, 75 agricultural buildings with 925 inhabitants (32 of them Catholic and 893 Protestant).

Grove of Honor

Inner courtyard of the grove of honor

In the vicinity of the cemeteries there is a large grove of honor (approx. 11,000 m²) surrounded by a ring wall to commemorate those who fell in the First World War . It was created after 1918. Today it is a memorial to the victims of the two world wars and the plane crash in Remscheid in 1988. In front of the grove of honor, there are six memorial plaques on the ground with the following inscriptions: Our fallen from home , our fallen from the air force , our fallen from the navy , our fallen des Heeres , The Victims of Violence , In memory of the victims of the plane crash on December 8th, 1988 .

The honor grove itself is laid out in a circle; In the middle is a square boulder with the inscription: Our hero . It is surrounded by a circular wall covered with ivy (circumference approx. 60 m). The center can be reached through eight arched entrances. Inside the wall there are memorial plaques between the arches, which are divided into eight by five fields, each with eight names. A total of 2560 names are recorded with the respective dates of death between 1914 and 1918.

Another, smaller wall (circumference approx. 100 m) runs around the ivy-covered wall, which is interrupted four times. The system points north to west. On the northwest side is the main entrance, which is via two stairs (17 and 13 steps) on a large meadow. On the other sides, the ring-shaped facility is surrounded by a wall (circumference approx. 300 m).

The Ehrenhain is a trigonometric ground point and lies at 247 m above sea level.

Mold bush

Devil's Rock in the Schimmelbusch

The Schimmelbusch is located on the western slope of Reinhagen, bounded by the B 229, the railway line and the buildings on the ridge. At times it was also referred to as Bismarck Park. In the immediate vicinity of the Ehrenhain there is a memorial stone with the inscription: Hermann Hasenclever gave Bismarck to honor the Bergisch forest. The city set the stone in thanks to him. Not far from there is the so-called Teufelsfelsen , a rock breakthrough. There is a memorial plaque in it: The co-founders of the Bismarck Park Emil Spennemann CWKipper in gratitude .

Not far away is the ground monument Wallanlage Güldenwerth or Wallburg bei Müngsten .

North of the Ehrenhains stands the 150-year-old Kollsbuche , a natural monument. The Kollsbuche may have been used as a route or border marker or was spared from being felled due to its unusual growth shape. Since the beeches in the Schimmelbusch were used as fuel in the past, the age of this tree is so special. In the 17th century the slopes in the Schimmelbusch were almost bare. It was not until 1852 that the city reforested the forest.

Kaspar Wittkopp (1860–1936), a sawmith from the Morsbachtal, wrote about the Schimmelbusch in the song Ech hann mien Hatt 'em Schimmelbosch lost :

"Lottchen, come on, mix it up for me,
like all dat six druog tuo."
"Vader, ah, ech how you know,
mien Jong it tröü on gout!
Where he nohm mech en because poor -
Lord God! - what woud et me warm!
Ech hann mien Hatt 'em Schemmelbosch lost
to a Jong, derr van Göllenweät,
derr heet op Knién I swore comforts to me!
He had enn Kaar, enn Stall on (uoch enn) Peäd. "

“Lottchen, come on, tell me
how you felt!”
“Papa, oh, I only know:
my boy is loyal and good.
When he took me in his arms -
Lord God! - how warm was it for me!
I lost my heart in the Schimmelbusch
to a boy, the one from Güldenwerth.
He swore allegiance to me on his knees,
owns a cart, stable and also a horse. "
