Etymology and history

The weaver's house is probably derived from the personal or family name Weber . In the local dialect the place was also called Wewershuus or Geilenberg .

In the 19th century, Webershaus belonged to the outlying villages of the farmers and the parish Dönberg in the mayor's office Hardenberg , which was renamed Neviges in 1935 . From 1816 to 1861 it belonged to the Elberfeld district and from 1861 to the old Mettmann district . At that time the place was right on the border between the farmers and the Uellendahler Rotte of the Lord Mayor of Elberfeld .

The place is marked on the Prussian first photo of 1843 as Geilenberg and on the Wuppertal city map from 1930 as Webershaus .

In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, two houses with 32 inhabitants are given for Webershaus.

South of Webershaus ran a coal route from Sprockhövel to Elberfeld , today's Westfalenweg , on which hard coal was transported from the mines in the southern Ruhr area to the factories in Wuppertal in the late 18th century and in the first half of the 19th century was the industrial heart of the region.

With the municipal reform of 1929, the southern part of Dönberg was split off from Neviges and incorporated into the newly founded city of Wuppertal with other Neviges villages outside Dönberg, including Webershaus. The city boundary between Wuppertal and Neviges ran north of Webershaus until 1975, and to the south of it ran from Neviges to Elberfeld until 1929. As a result of the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the rest of the Dönberg was also incorporated into Wuppertal. As a result, Webershaus lost its border position.
