etymology

The place name -itter appears in the three former courtyards Oben-, Mittel- and Unteritter. Oriented to their course, the farms are located on the Itter brook, which rises near Gräfrath and flows into the Rhine in Düsseldorf - Urdenbach and which is documented as Ytter in 1218/31 and as de Itre in 1263 . The word Itter probably comes from the  Latin- Indo-European, because  itera  means " the water from the height ". Dittmaier sees a fading form of the root word ait ( "swell" ) in the river name .

history

The Unteritter farm has been documented since the 18th century. In 1715 in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen , by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Unteritter is recorded with a farm and as u. Itter named. The court belonged to the Honschaft Schnittert within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 records the place as under Itter . The Prussian first recording from 1844 lists the place as Unt. Itter, in the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is also listed as below itter .

After the establishment of the Mairien and later mayor's offices at the beginning of the 19th century, the place belonged to the mayor's office Merscheid , there to corridor IV ( Bavert ). In 1832, under the name of Unter Itter , the place was still part of the Schnittert honors within the Merscheid mayor. The town of Unter Itter , which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf government district , had five residential buildings and eight agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 35 residents lived in the village, including one Catholic and 34 Evangelical denominations.

In the middle of the 19th century, the place was only listed as Itter in the place registers without the qualifier below . The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place Itter in 1871 with six houses and 41 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, eight houses with 61 inhabitants are given for Itter .

Towards the end of the 19th century, a suburb of Unteritter with the name Unter Itter emerged beyond the city limits in the area of ​​the city and mayor's office of Wald . 1895 has the Ohligser (the mayor and city Merscheid was in 1891 renamed Ohligs) district Itter eight houses and 76 residents of the district Walder Below Itter a house with nine residents. In 1905 two houses and 28 inhabitants are given for the Walder suburb.

At the end of the 19th century, the city of Wald built its first waterworks . At Unteritter, a pumping station was built on the Itter under Mayor Gottlieb Heinrich in 1890/1891 . Due to a typhus epidemic in the forest in the autumn of 1897, the quality of the Itter water quickly fell into disrepute among the local population. Even if it turned out that the epidemic was not due to the water pollution , the population still called for measures to improve the quality of the water. In 1899, the city of Wald built a new waterworks near Elb in Hilden , where the water that did not come from the Itter was of significantly better quality. The pumping station in Unteritter was later demolished. A new water tower was built on a hill north of Zentral on the city limits of Gräfrath .

With the town association of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Unteritter became a district of Solingen. Since 1987, of the few remaining half-timbered houses in the locality, the pictured slate house Unteritter 2 and an associated former barn (Unteritter 4) have been under monument protection .
