Siepen is a district in the district of Vohwinkel in the mountainous city of Wuppertal in North Rhine-Westphalia / Germany .
Location and description
The Hofschaft is located in the residential district of Schöller-Dornap west of Schöller in the Düssel valley on the city limits of Mettmann . Other neighboring towns are Klein- and Großdrinhausen , Heresbach, Hermgesberg, Estringhausen, Pellenbruch and Röttgen, which has been expanded into a Mettmann industrial area. The Düssel , which is protected here, flows to the south-east, and a Siepen, which gives it its name, flows through the village.
A section of the Düsseldorf-Derendorf – Dortmund Süd railway line (so-called “Wuppertaler Nordbahn” operated by the Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft ), which has been closed for passenger traffic, passes north of the town, and federal road 7 further north .
history
Siepen is recorded as a Bergische Hofschaft on the Topographia Ducatus Montani of Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, as well as on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824. West of the place runs the Alte Kölnische Landstrasse , an important old road from Cologne to the city, first mentioned in 1065 today's Ruhr area .
In the 19th century, Siepen was a residential area in the rural community of Schöller owned by the Haan mayor (from 1894 Gruiten mayor ), which emerged from the Schöller family of the Bergisch rule Schöller .
In 1815 7 people lived in Siepen. According to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , the place was categorized as a courtyard and called Siepen . At that time the place had a house and two farm buildings. Six people lived in the village, all of them Catholic. In 1888, according to the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province , the place had a house with nine residents.
On January 1, 1975, the community of Schöller and the Wülfrath district of Dornap and their suburbs were separated from the Düsseldorf-Mettmann district and incorporated into Wuppertal as the residential district of Schöller-Dornap. Siepen from Schöller also came to Wuppertal.
geomorphology
In the course of a land consolidation , the rear part of Siepen was tipped over in the early 1970s. The erosion channel that begins under the bridge of the above-mentioned railway line was interrupted here over a length of more than 150 meters.
Two types of grazing can be seen on the slopes based on the cattle footsteps: grazing with cattle (large, regular graduation on the valley flanks, cow step ) and grazing with sheep (smaller, more irregular grading, sheep step ).
