The court belonged to the Itter Honschaft within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 records the place as sunshine . The Prussian first recording from 1844 also recorded the place as sunshine, the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871 recorded the place as sunshine .

( Wittkull ). In 1815/16 20 people lived in the sunshine known as the hamlet , in 1830 ten people . In 1832 the place was part of the first village honors within the forest mayor's office. The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had three residential buildings and three agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 26 residents lived in the village, five of them Catholic and 21 Protestant.
