etymology

The field name Vogelsang occurs in many areas. It indicates an area with bushes where there are many songbirds . The former court was probably once called the Kindgütchen .

However, the origin of the place name may also come from a signal fire place (bird = torch), as has been proven in other places.

history

Vogelsang already existed in the 17th century in the form of a Bergisch court . The court belonged to the Scheid honors within the Solingen office . Erich Philipp Ploennies recorded the farm in 1715 on the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen, and named it Vogelſang . The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place as a bird catcher and the Prussian first survey from 1844 as Vogelsang . In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is again listed as Vogelsang .

After the establishment of the Mairien and later mayor's offices at the beginning of the 19th century, Vogelsang belonged to the mayor's office in Wald , where it was located in corridor III. (Scheid). 1815/16 lived 26 in 1830, 52 people in a hamlet called Vogelsang . In 1832 the place was part of the second village honors within the forest mayor. The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had three residential buildings and six agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 33 residents lived in the place, including one Catholic and 32 Evangelical denomination. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with five houses and 51 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, five houses with 33 residents are given for Vogelsang . In 1895 the district had five houses with 30 inhabitants, in 1905 six houses and 30 inhabitants are given.

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, the Vogelsang court became a part of Solingen. In the post-war period after the Second World War , Vogelsang experienced an unprecedented building boom, the construction of apartment buildings, some of them a dozen stories high, quickly blurred Vogelsang's former court character. A single Bergisches Haus, which is partially clad in slate , still stands today on Ubierweg in the middle of the dense residential area.

The history of the Vogelsang school center with the secondary school and the Vogelsang grammar school on the former arable land between Eigener Feld and Vogelsang began in 1969 with the council decision to create the largest and most expensive school complex in Solingen's post-war history. The nested complex was then built on the extensive areas near Vogelsang by 1976.

The botanical garden has its origins in a cemetery, including a nursery or tree nursery, planned by the town council at Vogelsang . For the further history of the later Botanical Garden see here . It was planned and built until the early 1960s and opened in 1963. Since the year 2010, he is including tropical house under monument protection .
