history

The location arose from a residential area that was already recorded as Trübsahl on the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715 . Later maps also show this location in 1815/16, the place had 120 inhabitants.

In 1832 the place belonged to the Hahn and Hipkendahler Rotte of the rural outskirts of the parish and the city of Elberfeld . The place, categorized as a village according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , was designated as the tribulation and at that time had eleven residential buildings, eight agricultural and one public buildings. These were a school founded in 1819, which, by order of the Düsseldorf District Government, replaced several others in the area.

In the distress, the Elberfeld fire brigade held up a portable syringe . At that time, 88 residents lived in the village, eight of them Catholic and 80 Protestant.

Today's Hahnerberger Straße was a regionally important trade route between Cologne or the Rhine near Hitdorf and the then independent town of Elberfeld , which was expanded into the provincial road Elberfeld – Hitdorf in the 19th century . Tribulation lay on this heavily frequented road , which was classified as a state road.
