Etymology and history

In the local dialect, the place was also called onger Wewershaus (= lower Webershaus ) or öngerste Sonnenblom (= lowest sunflower ).

The place is marked on the Prussian first recording from 1843 as U. Sonnenblum .

A coal path ran south of Untere Sonnenblume from Sprockhövel to Elberfeld (here today's Westfalenweg ), on which coal was transported from the mines in the southern Ruhr area to the factories in Wuppertal in the late 18th century and in the first half of the 19th century at that time was the industrial heart of the region.

With the municipal reform of 1929, the southern part of Dönberg was split off from Neviges and incorporated into the newly founded city of Wuppertal with other Neviges villages outside Dönberg, including Untere Sonnenblume. The city boundary between Wuppertal and Neviges ran north of Untere Sonnenblume until 1975, and south of that from Neviges to Elberfeld until 1929. Due to the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the again divided Dönberg was now also incorporated into Wuppertal, with the exception of the northern suburbs that remained with Velbert. As a result, Lower Sunflower lost its borderline position.
