history
Keys, a court , belonged to the Oberste Honschaft Haan in the Bergisch Amt of Solingen until the beginning of the 19th century . The farm complex belonged to the parish of Haan and came to Vohwinkel in 1894 , which was united with Elberfeld and Barmen to Wuppertal in 1929.
In the map series Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, the place is marked with the name 'Schleutel'. The key was on a path, which is marked on a map from 1824 (by Poysa), which led the Vohwinkeler Senke to the north, from the Höhenstraße, which is now called Höhe , down to Görtscheid. The place is then known as' a. Key ', and an attribution with key is also mentioned. From the middle of the 19th century, the name changes to 'key' (from the map from 1843).
In 1961/62, the first construction phase of Gut Schlüssel was built on behalf of the “Gut Schlüssel” settlement community by the architect Karl Schneider with 34 individual homes as a single, two or three-person block down the slope. The area around the locality was split into two parts by the construction of the federal highway 326 (today federal highway 46 ). The second construction phase of the settlement community was built in the upper area, south of the motorway in the second half of the 1960s. In 1961/62, 18 two-family houses were also built in the northern part by the architect Bruno Trachte by order of the “Familienhilfe” settlement community.
Historical building fabric has not been preserved.
Today's street
Between 1925 and 1928, the access road leading to the estate with a key was named after this location . Today it leads with a changed course from the street Westring to Ittertaler Straße through the settlement.
