Scharpenack or Scharpenacken was a court in the former town of Ronsdorf , now part of the Bergisch city of Wuppertal . Today the place is a desert in the residential area Hammesberg of the Wuppertal district of Heckinghausen .
Location and description
The location was in the north of the city of Ronsdorf near the summit of the Scharpenacker Mountains at 300 meters above sea level on a ridge called Scharpenacken between the Murmelbach and the Schmalenhofer Bach . The area of the yard was last part of the former eponymous site training area .
Etymology and history
According to the place name researcher Heinrich Dittmaier, a common interpretation of the name Scharpenack (en) is Scharfer Nacken (= sharply defined ridge). More recently, this meaning has been questioned. One possible interpretation would also be “Hain am Bach Scharpe” from the merging of “Scharpe-hagen” into “Scharpe-nacken”.
Scharpenack was first mentioned in a document in 1502. The farm was part of the Erbschlö family in the Lüttringhausen parish of the Beyenburg office in Berg . After its founding, it later belonged to the parish of Ronsdorf.
On the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715 and the charter of the Duchy of Berg by Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking from 1798, the farm is listed as Scharpenacker . On the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824, the place is labeled as Scharpenacken , on the Prussian first photo from 1840 as Scharpenack .
Also in 1832 Scharpenack was the titular place of the Scharpenacker Rotte of the rural outskirts of the city of Ronsdorf . The place, categorized as a hamlet according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf, was called Scharpenacken at that time and at that time had five residential buildings and five agricultural buildings. At that time 44 people lived in the place, all of them Protestant faith. In the municipality encyclopedia for the province of Rhineland from 1888 four houses with 20 inhabitants are given.
In 1929 Ronsdorf was merged with other cities and municipalities to form Wuppertal. The northern part of Ronsdorf around Scharpenack was assigned to the Heckinghausen district.
In 1936, as part of the National Socialist armament , the area around Scharpenack was rededicated as a training area for the newly built Wuppertal barracks and the old farms, including Scharpenack, were cleared. Until the 1970s, the buildings were used for military exercises and then demolished.
