Location of Scheuer in Solingen

Scheuer is a residential area in the Bergisch city ​​of Solingen . For decades, the Scheuer was a farm with an attached truck service station . In the first half of the 19th century, the place was of central importance as a residence and thus automatically as the official seat of the mayor of the communities of Wald and Merscheid . The place name disappeared from the city map before the Second World War and is therefore no longer in use today.

geography

Scheuer is located on the lower Friedrich-Ebertstrasse or the upper Weyerstrasse ( Landesstrasse 85) southwest of the center of the forest . The original courtyard building was probably at about the same level as the Catholic Church of St. Catherine. In the north are Alten - and Wiedenhof . Wiedenkamp and Mummenscheid are to the east, Rosenkamp with the cemetery as well as Heidufer and Tiefendick are to the south . Weyer and Häuschen are to the west .

etymology

The place name Scheuer occurs in many areas, the Walder Scheuer was also referred to as An der Schür . Scheuer, Schür are synonyms for a barn .

history

A few details are known about the early history of Scheuer. The Scheuer farm got its name from a large half-timbered barn that belonged to a Busch family. The farm maintained a rest area for the wagon traffic and held harness horses for the heavy freight wagons that faced the steep mountain of today's Weyerstrasse. In addition, stables and a fire pond were kept at the barn . The latter also served as a horse pond and trough . Today's Weyerstraße was already exposed to increased traffic in earlier times as Altstraße between Central and Ohligs , Hilden and Düsseldorf .

In 1715 in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen , by Erich Philipp Ploennies , the place is not yet recorded. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as Scheuer and the Prussian first survey from 1844 as An der Scheuer . The farm is listed without a name in the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871.

After the establishment of the Mairien and later mayor's offices at the beginning of the 19th century, the place belonged partly to the Merscheid Honschaft within the Merscheid mayor , which was elevated to a town in 1856 and renamed Ohligs in 1891 , and partly to the first village honors within the Wald mayor . The border line between the two mayor's offices was the course of the Benrath-Focher Provinzialstraße (today Landesstraße 85, in this section today called Friedrich-Ebert-Straße or Weyerstraße ).

In 1815/16 twelve people lived in the forest and four in the Merscheider suburb. In 1830, both suburbs are referred to as hamlets or establishments and are listed together with 19 residents, 13 of them in forest and six in Merscheid.

In the first half of the 19th century, the joint mayors of Wald and Merscheid lived and worked on the Scheuer . The mayor of Merscheid, Peter Daniel Köller, also took over the mayor's office in Wald in 1817 and had his official seat at the Scheuer. The joint administration of both communities was due to the fact that the salary of the mayor could have been more difficult to raise in economically difficult times by one community alone, so both joined forces. In 1837, Köller's successor, Franz von Falderen, assumed the office of mayor of both communities, who lived at the Scheuer. When he was transferred from office in 1848, the joint administration of the two mayor's offices ended.

In 1832 half of the place was part of the Second Village Honors within the Mayor's Office Wald, there it was in Corridor I. ( Wittkull ), and half of it was still part of the Honschaft Merscheid within the Mayor's House of Merscheid, Corridor V. ( Merscheid ). The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , had nine residential houses (eight in Wald, one in Merscheid) and seven agricultural buildings (six in Wald and one in Merscheid). At that time, 81 residents lived in the village (67 in Wald, 14 in Merscheid), eleven of them Catholic and 70 Protestant denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with 71 houses (39 in Wald and 32 in Merscheid) and 561 inhabitants (265 in Wald, 296 in Merscheid). In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland from 1888, 39 houses with 239 inhabitants are specified for the Merscheider suburb only

In 1893/1894 border corrections took place between the communities of Wald and Ohligs in the area of ​​influence of the Lochbach valley. The Merscheider part of Scheuer and the nearby Tiefendick and Heidufer came under the administration of the Wald mayor . With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Scheuer became a district of Solingen.
