History and etymology

Today's Hofschaft Schmalenhof consisted of the two directly touching residential areas Schmal Kuhlendahl (or Schmalenhof ; Kuhlendahl = coal valley ) and Fettmengers , which grew together into one court in the 19th century, whereby the name Schmalenhof was retained. The Fettmengershof and Schmalenhof both emerged loud Dittmaier only after 1500. At the beginning of the 19th century belonged to the Doppelort the peasantry Kuhlendahl in the rule of Hardenberg in the Duchy of Berg . The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and the Prussian first survey from 1844 record the place as Schmalenhof and Fettmengers, respectively .

In 1815/16, 88 people lived in the village. The community chart of the parcel cadastre of the Hardenberg mayor's office from the same year shows the court, consisting of two adjacent residential areas, Fettmengers and Schmal Kuhlendahl .

According to the topographical-statistical description of the Royal Prussian Rhine Province from 1830, 19 residents lived in the Schmalenhof residential area and another 19 in the Fettmengershof residential area . In 1832, under the name Dickenkohlenthal , Schmalenhof belonged to the Kuhlendahl peasantry of the Hardenberg mayor's office in the Elberfeld district . The place, categorized as several courtyards according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , had ten residential buildings and ten agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 92 inhabitants lived in the place, 5 of them Catholic and 87 Protestant. Obviously, other surrounding courtyards have been added to the actual Schmalenhof estate.

In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1885, a house with 7 inhabitants is given. At that time the court belonged to the Kuhlendahl area of the Neviges rural community within the Hardenberg rural mayor's office in the Mettmann district. In 1895 the place had a house with 13 inhabitants.

The mayor's office of Neviges with Schmalenhof received city rights in 1935. As part of the community reform in North Rhine-Westphalia, Neviges merged with Langenberg and Velbert on January 1, 1975 to form the city of Velbert; Since then, Schmalenhof has been a district of Velbert.
