The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and the Prussian first survey from 1844 record the place as Scharrweg and Scharweg .

In 1815/16 six people lived in the village. In 1832 Scharweg belonged to the parish Witzhelden of the Burscheid mayor . The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had two residential buildings and two agricultural buildings at that time.
