Etymology and history

Map of the courts in the area of ​​today's Barmen by Erich Philipp Ploennies (1715)

The name Sehlhof (or Sal-hof ) is an old form of Sattelhof . The name probably indicates its function as the Oberhof of the Bergischer Höfeverband within Barmens .

The exact age of this farm is not known, the earliest mention of the Sehlhof with a date comes from the Beyenburg official account (account of the rent master to the Bergisch-Ducal camera administration ) of the year 1466. However, it can be assumed that the farm is considerably older. The official accounts show that the Sehlhof was a smaller farm at that time, which later even descended to a Kotten .

Due to inadequate source material it is unoccupied, but possible that the Sehlhof to the mentioned already in 1244 "goods in Barmen" ( " Bona de Barme ") in the Electoral Cologne was one area that by Count Ludwig von Ravensberg as allod into possession the Count von Berg passed under Count Heinrich IV . Territorially, the area around the Sehlhof was part of Oberbarmen until the beginning of the 14th century to the Electoral Cologne district of Schwelm , which was annexed by the Counts of the Mark until 1324 . From 1420 it belonged to the Bergische Amt Beyenburg and was part of the Barmen farmers . Ecclesiastically it belonged to the parish of Schwelm until its own parish in Barmer was established as part of Oberbarmen .

The Sehlhof was probably the original Oberhof of the Bergischer Höfeverband in Barmen. For unknown reasons, this status was lost in favor of the Dörner Hof . The circumstances and reasons for the loss as well as the period of its previous function are not recorded.

In 1815/16 the place had 180 inhabitants. In 1832 the place belonged to Section C of the rural outskirts of the mayor's Barmen . The place, which was categorized as individual houses according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , was called Sehlhoff at the time and had 15 residential houses and eight agricultural buildings. At that time there were 157 people living in the village, four of them Catholic and 153 Protestant.
