history

The Simonshaus estate was first mentioned in a document in a donation act in 1505 and until the beginning of the 19th century belonged to the Haan supreme honor in the Bergisches 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.

Allegedly it was connected to the Spliss Simonshöfchen, 400 meters away, by an underground passage.

In the map series Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, the place is marked with the name 'Ziemeshus'. On the map from 1824 the location is labeled as 'Simonshaus'. Earlier names are also mentioned as 'Simonßhauß', 'Simes', 'Ziemes' and 'Ziemeshauß'.

The route of the Düsseldorf – Elberfeld railway line was built between 1838 and 1841 by the Düsseldorf-Elberfelder Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft directly on the northern edge of the village. From 1907 the site was expanded to the south and the now former Vohwinkel marshalling yard was created. An industrial park also developed further south.

Historical building fabric has not been preserved here.

In the 1930s, the naming of names on the topographic maps (TK25) of the location shifted to the south towards the Westring road built at that time . Simonshaus was no longer mentioned on the cards from 1983 onwards.
