History and etymology

The location built with single-family houses emerged in the second third of the 20th century. Before that, the only development on this site consisted of an explosives factory owned by Dynamit Nobel AG , which was transferred to the Pyros Fireworks Company after the First World War . In the 1920s, the factory was destroyed by fire and never rebuilt. Most of the site was acquired by the non-profit building association Dünne GmbH from Dünne in the Herford district .

After the Great Depression , an emergency ordinance issued by the Brüning government in 1930 ordered the municipalities to make settlement areas available to unemployed fellow citizens. In 1931, after being mediated by Pastor Friedrich von Bodelschwingh (son of the founder of the Von Bodelschwinghsche Anstalten Bethel ), the construction of the settlement began by members of the unemployment association "Yet" founded in 1930. The first 50 houses were completed in 1935. Another 60 houses followed in a second construction phase between 1949 and 1958.

Name derives from the woodland But Busch , a ducal Kameralwald , in contrast to the peasant Markwald with be special stately s rights was provided, see coupon .

Today's Landesstraße 411 was part of the Cologne – Dortmund military route in the Middle Ages, and so there was a barrier south of today's settlement area in the Elberfeld line of the Bergische Landwehr .
