history

The local situation emerged from a farm that was mentioned in a document as early as 1559. At this time the farm belonged to the Elberfeld farm association , which was an allod of the Cologne archbishopric and was located in the office and parish of Elberfeld . The farm is listed as Scheidt on the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715. On the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824, the location is marked with rubble .

In 1832 the Scheidt belonged to the Dorper Rotte of the rural outskirts of the parish and the town of Elberfeld . The place, categorized as a hamlet according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , was called Aufm Scheidt and at that time had four residential buildings and nine agricultural buildings. At that time, 28 people lived in the village, three of whom were Catholic and 25 were Protestant.

In the address book from 1850 the location is noted as 'Scheid'. Between 1843 and 1892 a brick factory was built south of the hamlet on Düsseldorfer Straße and by 1907 it had its own rail connection from the Düsseldorf-Derendorf-Dortmund Süd railway line , which started at Varresbeck station . West of Scheidt, the Evangelical Reformed Cemetery Krummacherstraße was built in the mid-1890s, with areas being acquired by Scheidt. Between 1927 and 1938 the brickworks was given up and the rail connection no longer crossed Düsseldorfer Straße . Between 1974 and 1983 the area of ​​the former brickworks was parceled out and built over with one and two-family houses in 1984/85.

A street called Auf dem Scheidt , which branches off from Düsseldorfer Straße to the north to the location, was named on January 15, 1901.
