Location and infrastructure

Elementary school in Tente, now called Heiderbach School

The federal road 51 is part of the old trade route from Bruges to Novgorod. The parallel course book route 411 of the railway ( Opladen - Remscheid-Lennep ) with a stop in Tente was shut down in 1983. A post office existed until the 1990s at the former train station, which was used in the summer of 1969 as the backdrop for the film When the moonlight sleeps sweetly on the hills .

In 2007 Tente is a district with its own local supply infrastructure. Some medium-sized companies have also settled here. There is a primary school, grocery stores, an office of the Stadtsparkasse Wermelskirchen and in relation to the surrounding area a large number of residential buildings. Tente is also the location of the Wermelskirchen branch of the Technical Relief Organization (THW). The Church of St. Engelbert was sold by the Catholic parish in 2005. The Evangelical Church Community of Wermelskirchen maintains a youth and community center as well as a kindergarten in Tente. The headquarters of the roll manufacturer of the same name, " Tente ", is also located in Wermelskirchen .

history

Postcard from Tente around 1910

The name Tente , which occurs several times in the Bergisches Land, is derived from the Latin "tendere" = "span" , which is supposed to characterize the natural or artificial condition of the soil, actually "tent", "festival tent", then also "Krambude". Assumptions of a very old residential area, originating from “Entelingen” or “Tentelingen”, cannot be verified. And references to “Tente” as a word for a swampy, boggy place cannot be proven.

The name is also used in nearby Remscheid; "Tenter Weg" and the street "Tente", on which a railway line ran between Wermelskirchen and Remscheid until 1966.

In the Wermelskirchen person lists from 1441 to 1731 and in the Niederhonschaft tax lists from 1684 and 1740 as well as the lists from 1794 and 1800, “Tente” does not appear as a place of residence. "Tente" is mentioned for the first time in the list of accommodation costs from 1797 and in the church books of 1798. A place to live on Döllersweg is called "An der Tente" according to the church books on August 28, 1809.

"Wag" on the Tente

So far, only Tente house number 59 is certain, which is mentioned on a historical map from around 1780–1790 as “Wag”, in dialect “Wooch”, most recently “Libra”. This old word comes from "Woge", Middle High German "wâc", water-rich place. There is talk of public scales for weighing carts or other goods, but there is no documentary evidence of this. The last owner tried to explain the name with a house motto when building the house in the 1950s: "With God we want to dare". The house is said to have been built in 1817, but the living space is older.

Tente and Döllersweg

Döllersweg is located in a basin and is oriented to the west. Another old residential area is near the Hinterweg in Burscheid, it was first mentioned as “henterweg” in 1378. Aligned in a similar location, it is also named with the defining word “-weg”. Both can be assumed to have been colonized early. Döllersweg appears for the first time around 1517–1560 as “Dududersweg” in the church accounts and in 1684 in the treasure lists as “Deussers weg”.

It can be assumed that today's federal road 51 does not reflect the course of the paths before the construction of the high road by Elector Karl Theodor around 1770–1775. There were several paths in front of this road, for example the so-called "Old Street". It ran north of today's B 51, roughly on the line, today Krupin-Weidenweg and is still called Doiwelsgrawen (= 'Teufelsgraben') in the Tente school's residential directory around 1890 . That was a ravine in which a house was built around 1818. Hollow roads were dark, therefore “devil's ditch”. Today there are the new buildings at Weidenweg 5–9.

Krupin and Tente

The Krupin is older than Tente. Pastor Hessel wrote about a cripple home around 1890 and Heinrichs speaks of a poor little house, the entrance of which led downwards, like into a cellar, and had a low door through which you had to crawl into it (Low German "krupen"), hence the name Krupin (Low German krup in = 'crawl into'). The dialect researcher Joest relocates the name formation to Old High German times. The attempt to develop an old "Kruftheim" settlement has not yet been successful.

The name of today's street "Am Krupin" is mentioned for the first time in a hunting border description from Altenberg Monastery. In 1730 it says: "From Hinterwege to the Kraufin". The current name "Krupin", here in an older spelling, is missing in the copy in the Altenberg document book, but is contained in the present copy of the original document. In the Haas map around 1780–1790 it is called “Kruffm”. In the list of goods from 1807 the spelling is "Črupin", with a hatschek that allows the pronunciation "Tschrupin".

Tente is mentioned for the first time with three houses on the map from 1809. The map by Müffling 1824–1825 shows Tente with four to five houses. One can conclude from the residential name of the Ann family in 1794 "Döllersweg" and the entry of one of their children in 1809 "An der Tente" that the entire area of ​​today's Tente intersection was originally called Döllersweg. This is supported by the Ploennies map from 1715, in which “Düllersweg” is marked as being on the country road, as is LeCoq's map from 1805.

Official cadastre 1828

In corridor 2, north of the B 51, you will find “Döllersweg” and similarly “Krupin” in bold letters. At the place where Tente house number 76, “Salerno's Ristorante” and Tente house number 84 are today, in italic letters “An der Tente”. The two words "An der" were later crossed out in a place name simplification, around 1860. The same hand crossed out the residential area "Krupin" mentioned further west and overwritten it with smaller bold italic letters "Tente", with the residential area "Jägerwald" in between (today: Tente house number 100).

In corridor 7, south of the B 51, you will find “Kolfhausen” in bold letters, smaller east of the confluence of the road to Kolfhausen in italic letters “Waag”. To the west are the residential areas "Kamp" (later: "Hofkamp", today: Tente house number 99-101), "Desert" (today: Tente house number 129, Obi) and "Nussbaum" (today Tente house number 135). The younger hand from 1860 entered “Tente” in small bold italic letters at the highest point, for example in front of the former Siebel shoe factory. In the place of the street known today as “Tenter Hof”, the younger hand from 1860 inserted “Tente” in big bold italic letters.

Sutler's Tent

The first local chronicler of Wermelskirchen, Peter Josef Heinrichs, wrote in 1892: “About the Tente school district: In earlier times, at the time of the fair, on the streets that led to Wermelskirchen and were particularly frequented on this occasion, bar tables were set up in some places. where especially those returning home were offered cold food and drinks like the sutlers. The tent of these street restaurants was also called tente. This place probably got its name from the fact that there was a 'Tente' here at the time ”. Such makeshift tents and shelters were known as "tente", probably derived from the French word for "tent". There is evidence of this from Burscheid. When the old church there was demolished around 1770, a "Tente", a makeshift building covered with canvas, was built so that the service could be held during the construction period.

This idea of ​​a makeshift building, called "Tente", is supported by the property map of a former restaurant at the Unterstraße at number 162, today 42. Two kilometers west of the current district of Tente, a larger building was drawn there in 1874 next to the house and " Tent "called. This is proof that such tents, known as temporary structures, were used to enlarge the catering establishments.

Narratives at school

Gasthof zur Post, Tente around 1910

The long-distance trade route from Cologne to Dortmund and further into the Baltic Sea region, today the B 51, forerunner of the Ruhrtangente, federal motorway 1, has always been so heavily frequented by long-distance traffic that the local innkeepers increase their catering capacity in the summer by setting up a "tent" , a tent, a makeshift construction, expanded. The story of older neighbors that a French troop camp of Marshal Ney's army was stationed on the Tente in 1794 cannot be substantiated. Also the name of the house Tente house number 74, with “Kiwippe” as coming from the French, for “Qui vive?”, As a call from the guards of the French tent camp, cannot be proven. The Tente teachers Hartmann and Hild told the children about this at the Tente school around 1930. Today, old residents of Tente know how to tell: "We learned that at school". There is also said to be a Napoleon's oak in the forest south of Döllerweg, which can be described as a mind game.

Albert Schulte, the founder of the company TENTE-Rollen , derived the name of his company from the camp of the French troops, following local tradition. The thought that "Tente" has the same meaning in many languages ​​was certainly decisive for him. In any case, the naming of the Tente train station with “Tente (Rhineland)” from the 1920s is probably due to his influence. With this publicity stunt , his company name Tente made it into all of the Reichsbahn's directories .

In 1848, insurgents on the way to Elberfeld, coming from Bergisch Gladbach, are said to have stopped in Tente at the “Gasthof zur Post”. In the exuberance of emotions, they would have shot enthusiastically into the surrounding trees.

Park in Tente and Herrlinghausen

The residents of Herrlinghausen were mentioned in Lübeck files as early as 1383 . In addition to this information from the Middle Ages, there must have been a park on the Tente. In the tax lists from 1684 you can find: "Arndt Steffen ahn der Scheuren, Wies benieden the Park der Roßenacker, Wiesgen under des Rucksack Park". This park has its echo in today's street name "Im Rosenacker".

Tenter swimming pond

51 ° 7 ′ 9.7 ″  N , 7 ° 11 ′ 28.5 ″  E The Tenter bathing pond was built by Tenter citizens in 1928 - at the time of great unemployment. From 1956 to 1986 the pond was walled. Previously it was only attached to the edge of the pool with wooden beams and boards. The pond was developed into a bathing establishment over several stations and inaugurated on August 17, 1981 with a summer festival. The pond later had to be shut down due to extreme groundwater pollution from the former Schulte ball factory. Since then, there has been a pumping station with a filter tower to clean up the groundwater. The pool has been renatured since 2008 and access to the site is no longer possible.
