In 1535 the Protestants held the first secret services in Elberfeld in the Froweinschen Hof. In 1751 a mine is believed to have been built in the town , which was abandoned in 1752.

On the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824, no distinction is made in the labeling between Vorm and Hinterm Holz, as is the case on the Prussian first survey from 1843. The two residential areas are separately identified.

The place, categorized as a hamlet according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had eight residential buildings and seven agricultural buildings at that time.

In Vorm Holz a rescue center for abandoned children was set up in 1859 , in which 29 children lived in 1861.
The place retained its village character until the second half of the 20th century and was surrounded by urban development. A tram line led around the location. In the 1970s, the original development with the Froweinschen Hof was removed and the location was built over.
