Location and description

The location is at an altitude of 295  m above sea level. NHN on the watershed of the river systems of the Wupper and the Ruhr at the intersection of the streets Märkische Straße , Huxel , Einern and Hatzfelder Straße ; the latter are  dedicated as state road 432. The county road  14 ( Ennepe-Ruhr district ) branches off into skimmers from the L432.

The location is on the outskirts of the residential district Nachbarebreck-West ( Oberbarmen district ) on the border with the Hatzfeld residential district ( Barmen district ) and the Sprockhövel district of Gennebreck .

Schaumlöffel is not an isolated settlement, but is located on the edge of larger residential and commercial areas in Hatzfeld and Nachbarebreck, which surround it on three sides. To the north of the locality, a predominantly agriculturally used area falls to the Deilbach in the Sprockhövel area .

History and etymology

Schaumlöffel did not come into being under the name Einernstrasse until the middle of the 18th century, the current settlement name for the place "Schaumlöffel" is only slightly more recent. Skimmer was on an important coal route from Witten to Elberfeld , on which the factories in the Wupper area were supplied with fuel by independent coal drivers .

By 1800 skimmer consists of a royal customs office on the border of farming communities Gennebreck and Nächstebreck and several smaller leasehold cottas that in clearing the area Einerner Mark were built around the 1750th In 1785 the gold balance manufacturer Peter Caspar Hahne worked there , and in 1778 bought one of the Kotten there.

In the 19th century, a school and an inn were located in skimmers, which have been preserved until recently. Slotted spoon belonged to the rural community of Gennebreck in the Schwelm district . The place is labeled on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 as a slotted spoon and on the Prussian first recording from 1843 as Am Schaumlöffel , on the Wuppertal city map from 1930 with a slotted spoon . The border with the city of Barmen ran southwest of the farm .

In the municipality lexicon for the province of Westphalia from 1887, four houses with 34 inhabitants are given.

The name skimmed spoon goes back indirectly to this restaurant: The coal drivers - a rather rough breed of people, who was rarely at a loss for a spiteful mockery for the courtyards and places on coal paths and thus coined numerous place names in the area - liked to stop in the inns along the way . The amount of brandy served seemed to them regularly too low at the Gasthaus Einernstrasse . According to you, the brandy was only scooped out of the barrel with a slotted spoon , from which most of the liquid apparently ran out again. So the name of this kitchen appliance was transferred to the place.

With the municipal reform of 1929, the southern part of Gennebreck was split off by slotted spoon and incorporated into the newly founded city of Wuppertal.

In the 1950s, Schaumlöffel was one of the first road training areas in Germany.
