history
Schanze is called An der Schanze on the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715 . Later maps such as the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and the Prussian new survey from 1893 refer to the place as Schanze . The measuring table sheet from 1968, in which Schanze is drawn for the last time, reintroduces the old form An der Schanze . In the late 1960s or early 1970s, the place fell into desolation.
Schanze was at the intersection of two regional old streets , the old Kölnische Straße from Cologne via Hilden , Erkrath - Hochdahl , Mettmann - Diepensiepen and Wülfrath - Oberdüssel to Westphalia and the old main street from Elberfeld to Neviges . Both streets are called Schanzenweg today . The name Schanze suggests that there was a hill in the vicinity that can no longer be verified today. It is also unclear whether this hill is justified by the old roads that cross here.
In the 19th century Schanze belonged to the suburbs of the Kleine Höhe farmers' community in the Hardenberg mayor's office , which was renamed Neviges in 1935 . From 1816 to 1861 it belonged to the Elberfeld district and from 1861 to the old Mettmann district .
In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, a house with 25 inhabitants is given for Schanze.
As a result of the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the eastern suburbs of Neviges around Schanze were incorporated into Wuppertal.
