history

The place emerged from an old farm. In the 19th century Steinenpitter belonged to the outlying villages of the farmers and the parish Dönberg in the mayor's office Hardenberg , which was renamed Neviges in 1935 . From 1816 to 1861 it belonged to the Elberfeld district and from 1861 to the old Mettmann district .

The place is marked unlabeled on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and on the Prussian first survey from 1843. The place is labeled as Steinenpitter on measuring table sheets up to the middle of the 20th century .

In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, two houses with 16 inhabitants are given for Steinenpitter.

With the municipal reform of 1929, the southern part of Dönberg was split off and incorporated into the newly founded town of Wuppertal with other Neviges villages outside Dönberg; the rest of Dönberg with Steinenpitter initially remained with Neviges. As a result of the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the rest of the Dönberg was also incorporated into Wuppertal.

The farm was taken over by a Zahn family who sold it to the deaconess house in Kaiserswerth in 1942 . Older deaconesses lived there until 1960 . The textile entrepreneur PALückenhaus then used the house as a guest worker residence. The courtyard was rebuilt around 1980 by the Barmer construction company for the construction of workers' apartments.
