Until 1929, the mayor's office in Ronsdorf was an independent town in the Lennep district, which was dissolved at the same time . Ronsdorf also includes the localities of Heidt and Erbschlö , Holthausen , Blombach and the locality of Linde on Landesstraße 58 (with Marscheid, Groß- and Kleinsporkert and Kleinbeek).
geography
Division in the district
The urban district of Ronsdorf is divided into six so-called “quarters”, which for the most part have no historical origin, but primarily serve statistical surveys.
These are the quarters (behind them the localities, hamlets and farmhouses):
Other smaller or historical locations and settlement areas , which can still be found in today's street or field names, are described in the respective quarters. |
|
Rehsiepen
The residential area " Im Rehsiepen " is in the east of the district, near the Ronsdorf train station and on the border with Remscheid - Lüttringhausen . The city quarter has 2135 inhabitants who live on an area of 0.97 km² (as of December 31, 2005). Both apartment buildings and single-family houses as well as mostly 3 to 4-storey rows of houses and high-rise buildings are available. Apart from football fields and playgrounds, there are only a few recreational opportunities in Rehsiepen. Until the drugstore closed, there was only one shop in the center of the estate. Today there is only one kiosk in the nearby Wuppertal-Ronsdorf train station . The spacious sidewalk in front of the former drugstore is used as a social meeting point. Another social point of contact is the district meeting point in the former building of the reorganized Roman Catholic community. The residential area was built by Neue Heimat in the 1970s and has since been owned by the real estate company GAGFAH , unless the buildings have been converted into residential property . In 2012 it was sold to another real estate investment company. The residential area is equipped with a lot of green (meadows, trees and small parks).
Erbschlö-Linde
Erbschlö-Linde is a rather rural urban quarter of the city of Wuppertal, which is located in the northeast of the Ronsdorf district. It is divided into two localities:
- Erbschlö is a hamlet in the north of Ronsdorf with 119 inhabitants.
- Linde is a district of Wuppertal-Ronsdorf with approx. 800 inhabitants. The street village lies on the main road 58 (until 1 January 2008 national road 51 ) with connections to the A1 at the motorway exit Wuppertal-Ronsdorf / Lüttringhausen . The valley of the Blombach , through which the A1 runs, is spanned by the Blombachtalbrücke , which connects Linde (with the L 58 and the motorway exit) with Ronsdorf, Lichtscheid and the western districts of Wuppertal. The courts of Marscheid , Werbsiepen , Klein- and Großsporkert and Kleinbeek also belong to Linde . To the north of Linde is the Marscheider Wald state forest .
history

Beginnings
Ronsdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1494 by "Johann von Ronsdorp" (the "Rumsdorp" mentioned in the Cologne shrine books as early as 1245 is probably a different settlement, such as Rondorf , now part of Cologne ). The former court belonged to the Honschaft Erbschlö until 1729 , which in turn since the 12./13. Century in the parish of Lüttringhausen. In 1407 the parish of Lüttringhausen was split off from the Bergische Amt Bornefeld and came with Ronsdorf to the Amt Beyenburg , to which it belonged until 1806. Around 1600 iron ore was smelted in an ironworks, from which the name hut for a district of Ronsdorf is derived.
The actual city founder of Ronsdorf was Elias Eller , born in 1690 on the Ronsdorf farm , and later foreman in the foil tape factory of his first wife Katharina Bolckhaus in Elberfeld . Around Eller and his second wife, the so-called prophet Anna Catharina vom Büchel , the Philadelphic Society was formed within the Evangelical Reformed Congregation Elberfeld , which was part of radical pietism . The Ronsdorfer Hirtentasche contains records of the spiritual inspirations and inspirations from the Büchels.
In 1737 Eller bought part of his former family farm in Ronsdorf from his brother Samuel as well as other adjacent properties across the border from Elberfeld, where he built a settlement based on the model of the biblical camp of the Israelites . His ribbon factory was also relocated here, with which Eller introduced the textile trade in Ronsdorf. An exodus- like exodus of the Zionite congregation, split off from the Reformed Church , began from Elberfeld and the surrounding area into Ronsdorf, which was propagated as the New Jerusalem . Eller was supported by Daniel Schleyermacher and Peter Wülffing , both preachers in the congregation known as the Ellerian sect , Ellerische Rotte or Ronsdorf sect .
In 1741, the then Düsseldorf sovereign, elector and duke Karl Philipp of the Palatinate approved the establishment of his own parish and the parish of Ronsdorf. Eller also donated the property for the construction of a church house, which was inaugurated a year later on September 5, 1742. Thanks to Eller's good relations with the Prussian court - King Friedrich II had made him a Prussian resident and "head of all Protestants" in the Duchy of Jülich-Berg - Ronsdorf was granted city rights in 1745 by the new sovereign, Elector Karl Theodor . Shortly afterwards, the elector also visited the young city. Kurfürstenstrasse still reminds of this today. Eller was elected first mayor in 1747 and died in 1750. After Eller's death, the decline of the religious community among his quarreling successors increased, and finally on May 31, 1768, the community was accepted back into the Reformed Church.
In 1748 Ronsdorf received the right to build its own water mill or windmill. The city council decided on a watermill , which was level with the street Kornmühle am Leyerbach . Before that, the grain of Ronsdorf and the surrounding farms had to be ground in the ducal Bannmühlen ( Beyenburger Mühle and, from 1565, Leyermühle ). Due to the constant lack of water on the Leyerbach, the mill was sold again only a few years later.
19th and early 20th centuries
As part of the of Napoleon dominated and his brother Joachim Murat managed Grand Duchy of Berg Ronsdorf was 1806-1813 chief town of Canton Ronsdorf . In 1816 Ronsdorf passed to the Prussian district of Lennep .
In 1849, citizens of Ronsdorf took part in the Elberfeld uprising against the background of the Prussian government's non-recognition of the Frankfurt Imperial Constitution . On August 28, 1856, Ronsdorf received city rights under Prussian rule.
On May 22nd, 1864, Ferdinand Lassalle , the "real founder of social democracy", gave his last public address (only a few weeks before his death in a duel in Carouge near Geneva ). It was the Ronsdorf speech in front of about 2000 listeners in Ronsdorf. The occasion was the first foundation festival of the "General German Workers' Association" in the hall of Abraham Mesenholl's restaurant, where a commemorative plaque can still be seen on the new building at Remscheider Strasse 24 today. In addition, a street on the side of Lüttringhauser Strasse was named after Ferdinand Lassalle.
On July 29, 1929, Ronsdorf was incorporated into the then newly founded city of Wuppertal together with Barmen , Beyenburg , Cronenberg , Elberfeld and Vohwinkel .
Second World War
On the night of May 29-30, 1943, Ronsdorf was badly hit by an Allied air raid on Wuppertal . This air attack was actually aimed at the districts of Vohwinkel and Elberfeld, but due to a German defensive maneuver, the British bombers were diverted from their planned course and confused Ronsdorf with Vohwinkel. Whole rows of half-timbered houses burned down in 20 to 30 minutes.
The townscape in the center of Ronsdorf was characterized by uniform two- to three-story slid-up residential buildings, which were largely destroyed in this air raid. From the preserved substance, the Rector's School , the Ronsdorf Post Office , the Bandweaver School , the Luther Church and the Reformed Church are worth mentioning.
On April 15, 1945, Allied units were close to Ronsdorf. To “defend” the city, the Volkssturm felled trees and built anti-tank barriers . The people called in for this should then set out armed in the direction of Clarenbach in order to wage this “last battle”. Ronsdorf was handed over to the American troops without a fight. April 1945 entered Wuppertal via Ronsdorf with tanks and jeeps. One day later, American combat troops from the 78th Infantry Division occupy Ronsdorf. The first tanks, coming from the direction of Wermelskirchen , reached the city limits at around 2 p.m. and moved in via Remscheider Strasse and Langenhaus , Rädten, Heidt, Holthausen.
In memoriam
As a late reminder of the fellow citizens of Ronsdorf who were deported and murdered by the National Socialists , stumbling blocks were laid in front of their last homes and a plaque with the names of the victims was placed on the stairs to the administration building.
post war period
After the Second World War , the American local command was established in April 1945 in the administration building of the Reinshagen cable works . Only in March 1946 could Ronsdorf with Cronenberg and Langerfeld be supplied with gas again on a small scale. After the initial great hardship in the post-war period , the destroyed Ronsdorf was rebuilt. By 1948, 12,000 cubic meters of rubble had been removed. The economic upturn began with the currency reform in 1948 .
coat of arms
The historical coat of arms of the city of Ronsdorf shows the Bergisch lion on a white background, with the face to the (heraldic) left. In his paws he holds an emblem with the words "The Lord with us". The unusual direction of view of the Bergischer Löwen is said to go back to the circumstances under which, after the intercession of the Prussian King, Ronsdorf received city rights in 1745. According to Lothar König, “the biblical inscription on the shield corresponded to the spirit of the founders of 'Zion', whereas the lion looks backwards, averted from the saying. Evil tongues claim that he [the founder] is pagan and therefore wanted nothing to do with the inscription. "

The old and now aging building was partly made of wood and had corner turrets. In the 1960s, however, it no longer met the requirements, for example the dimensions of the swimming pool did not meet the standards for sporting competitions and the changing rooms were no longer up to date.
Therefore it was torn down in 1965 and on September 30, 1967, just a few meters away, today's Stadtbad was opened. It is a functional building with a 25 × 10 meter combined swimmer and non-swimmer pool with a diving board. It should be closed in 2011, at the latest in early 2012 due to the dire budget situation in the city of Wuppertal.

It was taken over on March 1, 2011 by the newly founded "BaRon Betriebs-UG" and renamed to "Bandverbinderbad" (instead of "Stadtbad").
