history
Schirpkotten was mentioned in a document in 1710. The farm was part of the Erbschlö family in the Lüttringhausen parish of the Beyenburg office in Berg . After its founding, it later belonged to the parish of Ronsdorf. The place appears as Schilpkotten on the map of the city of Ronsdorf by geometer JW Buschmann from 1790.
In 1929 Ronsdorf was merged with other cities and municipalities to form Wuppertal. In 1936, the area around Schirpkotten was rededicated as a training area for the newly built Wuppertal barracks as part of the National Socialist armament and the old farms, including Schirpkotten, were cleared. Schirpkotten was right on the northern edge of the former Diedenhofenkaserne. Until the 1970s, the buildings were used for military exercises and then demolished.
