Etymology and history

Siepen is a local name for a small notch valley. The part of the name Scheven comes from the nearby Schevenhof , whose split-off Kotten was Schevensiepen.

The farm was first mentioned in a document in 1486. In the late Middle Ages he belonged to the area of ​​the lordship Hardenberg within the Duchy of Berg and there to the Hardenberger peasantry Oberste Siebeneick .

In the 16th century the farm is mentioned under the name Am Sypen . The name Siepken is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and on the first Prussian survey from 1843, which was repeated on the measuring table until the middle of the 20th century .

In the 19th century, Herrnasbruch belonged to the Obensiebeneick peasantry of the Hardenberg mayor's office , which was renamed Neviges in 1935 . From 1816 to 1861 it belonged to the Elberfeld district and from 1861 to the old Mettmann district . As a result of the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the eastern suburbs of Neviges around Schevensiepen were incorporated into Wuppertal.

In 1888, ten residents lived in Schevensiepen in one house. The place is called Siepken at that time .

With the municipal reform of 1929, the southeastern part of Obensiebeneick was split off around Schevensiepen and incorporated into the newly founded town of Wuppertal together with southern Dönberg villages, the rest of Obensiebeneick initially remained with Neviges. Due to the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the rest of Obensiebeneick was also incorporated into Wuppertal.

A directly neighboring residential area northwest of Schevensiepen directly on the district road fell into desolation in the second half of the 20th century.
