history

The farm was first mentioned in 1220 under the name Woestenhaus as the property of the Rellinghausen monastery under the Oberhof Kirchfeld. In the late Middle Ages and early modern times, like the neighboring Scheven, it is said to have belonged to the Unterste Siebeneick peasantry in the Bergish lordship of Hardenberg .

The place is unlabelled on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and marked as a desert house on the Prussian first survey from 1843 . On measuring table sheets from the early 20th century, the place bears the name Wüstenhaus , from the second half the name Wüstenhof .

Wüstenhof was close to a regional old road , the Alte Kölnische Strasse from Cologne via Hilden , Erkrath - Hochdahl , Mettmann - Diepensiepen and Wülfrath - Oberdüssel to Westphalia. Today's Schanzenweg follows the old route.

In the 19th century, Wüstenhof belonged to the Obensiebeneick farming community of the Hardenberg mayor's office , which was renamed Neviges in 1935 . From 1816 to 1861 it belonged to the Elberfeld district and from 1861 to the old Mettmann district .

In 1888 four people lived in a house in Wüstenhof. The place was called the Desert House at the time .

Due to the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the eastern suburbs of Neviges around Wüstenhof were incorporated into Wuppertal.
