history

The place emerged from a farm that was mentioned in a document as early as 1150 in the Rhenish land registers , then again in 1400. In 1475, the belonging of the farm to the Honschaft and the parish of Sonnborn in the Bergisch office of Solingen is documented. It is not known which farm association Schickenberg belonged to. On the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, the Schickenb farm is recorded and there is provided with the symbol for two separate goods.

In 1677, for tax reasons, a survey of the Sonnborn community was made. - there are three distinct send Berger goods upper Schickenberg , sub Schickenberg and Schmidt Schickenberg - indicated, together converted 27 Ha and 53.94 Ar area possessed (15 Ha, Ha 7.4 and almost 5 Ha). The area is almost the same as the cadastral record of the Sonnborn district from 1830, which gives the equivalent of 28 ha and 7.69 ares for the Schickenberger Höfe.

In the 19th century, Schickenberg was located in the municipality of Sonnborn, which was split off from the mayor's office in Haan in 1867 and which was renamed the municipality of Vohwinkel in 1888, when territory was ceded to the city of Elberfeld . According to the community encyclopedia of the Kingdom of Prussia , Schickenberg owned six houses and 48 residents in 1888.

When Wuppertal was founded in 1929, Schickenberg initially moved from Vohwinkel to Wülfrath as part of an area swap , then found acceptance into the Wuppertal city area in 1974 during the last major municipal reform.

At the end of the 19th century, the industrial mining of the Devonian mass limestone began in the Dornap area, which Schickenberg finally fell victim to in the mid-1960s.
