history

The Hofschaft Waardt can be traced back to 1488 when it as zor Wairde first documented in Zehntregister the Abbey Altenberg is mentioned. The place is also mentioned as zo der Ward and later only Ward .

In 1715 , Erich Philipp Ploennies listed Waardt in the map Topographia Ducatus Montani , Blatt Amt Solingen , with a farm and named it as Wart . The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 lists the place without a name and the Prussian first survey from 1844 names it as Warth . In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, the place is also recorded without a name.

The Waardt farm historically belonged to the Barl family in the Wald court . Until the beginning of the 19th century, the entire region belonged to the Duchy of Berg , which was last owned by Duke Maximilian IV of Bavaria . Due to a barter agreement, the area came under Napoleon's sphere of influence in 1806 and thus became part of the Grand Duchy of Berg on the Rhine .

After the establishment of the Mairien and later mayor's offices at the beginning of the 19th century, Waardt was assigned to the mayor's office of Merscheid , which was elevated to a town in 1856 and renamed Ohligs in 1891. There he was in the hallway V. Merscheid.

1815/16 lived 27 inhabitants, in 1830, 32 people in a hamlet called Wardt . According to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , the town was categorized as a court town in 1832 and had four residential buildings and two agricultural buildings. At that time, 22 residents lived in the village, three of them Catholic and 18 Protestant. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with three houses and 23 inhabitants.

In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1885 three houses with 33 inhabitants are given, in 1895 the place has three houses with 22 inhabitants.

With the city association of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Waardt became a district of Solingen. As one of the few actually realized sections of the planned Autobahn 54 , a four-lane motor road through the Viehbachtal was built at the end of the 1970s on the section from An der Gemarke to Mangenberg . This section of the Viehbachtalstraße, dedicated as L 141n, was opened to traffic on August 31, 1979. After numerous complaints from residents about too much noise, a number of measures for improved noise protection were introduced in the following year . The Viehbachtalstraße between Mangenberg and Frankfurter Damm was continued until 1981. However, no further expansion took place; the A 54 was never completed.
