history

The location arose from a farm that was mentioned in a document as early as the 15th century as being on Uellenberg . A member of the owner family, Gottfried Uellenberg , was Elberfeld's mayor in 1640. On the Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies from 1715, the farm is listed as Ulenberg . The Elverfeldt view in the prospect of Nordl. Page from 1760 shows the place as Vorm Üllenberg . On the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 a place is recorded as Am Ullenberg , on the Prussian first survey of 1843 as Üllenberg .

In 1815/16 the place had 37 inhabitants. In 1832 the place belonged to the Fuhrter Rotte of the rural outskirts of the parish and the city of Elberfeld . The place, categorized as arable and brewery according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , was referred to as vorm Uellenberg and at that time had three residential buildings and five agricultural buildings. At that time 37 people lived in the place, all of them Protestant faith.

By 1909, a square was expanded at the place, which was called Emil Uellenberg -Platz (folk local poet, 1874-1944) or Uellenberg-Platz between 1935 and 1985 . A street on site was named on January 18, 1910 in Am Uellenberg . In the 1930s, the last buildings were demolished and the area used as a garbage dump . In 1939 the site was redesigned into today's park. Today the park and the local area are surrounded by residential buildings.
