history

The Jakobshäuschen school, later called Waldheim, was founded by parents at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1811 it passed to the municipality of Höhscheid . Due to its location in the border area of ​​different communities in the upper district of Solingen, the school attracted students from four locations right from the start: Dorp , Höhscheid, Wald and Merscheid . The school was also referred to as a percentage school , since each municipality had to bear the school's maintenance costs according to its share of use.

The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 does not yet record the place and the Prussian first survey of 1844 lists it as the Waldheim School . In the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, however, the place is not recorded. It also appears in the 1893 edition of the Solingen measuring table of the official topographic map 1: 25,000 on maps labeled as Waldheim . 

After the mayor's offices were founded in 1815, Waldheim belonged to the Wald mayor's office within the Solingen district , where it was in corridor IV. ( Gönrath ). The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with three houses and 26 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, four houses with 34 inhabitants are given for Waldheim.

With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Waldheim became a district of Solingen. The place name later disappeared from the Solingen city maps, in some cases it was no longer to be read from 1939, in other city maps from 1964.
