The location Simonshöfchen in the Wuppertal district of Vohwinkel goes back to the former Gut Simonshaus .
history
The Simonshaus estate was first mentioned in a document in 1505 in an act of donation. Allegedly it was connected to the Simonshöfchen homestead 400 meters away by an underground passage.
In the early modern era, Simonshöfchen was part of the Oberste Honschaft Haan in the Bergisch Amt of Solingen .
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.
The street Simonshöfchen was named on December 15, 1975 after this location. To the north of the street is the Wuppertal-Vohwinkel correctional facility , which was opened in 1980 (also called Simonshöfchen JVA).
