Today two of three old cottages are still preserved, two of which were originally north of the main road and one south. The federal motorway 46 also runs south . Four newer houses from the first third of the 20th century have complemented the location since then.

To the north of the village is the Hilgenpütt forest area in the Sprockhövel area . Several source brooks of the Feldbach arise near Weuste.

On the watershed west of Weuste (with a new development area in between) lies the neighboring village of Einern , and east of the village of Mollenkotten .

History and etymology

The location goes back to an old farm, which was in the middle of a cleared island in the forest area Einerner Mark . Like Busch and Mollenkotten, the farm belonged to the property of the Essen Abbey in Nahe. Like the neighboring Mollenkotten, the courtyard was devastated by a Soldateska in the Thirty Years' War .

The later Kotten emerged from the division of the original farm to half farms. The southern Kotten was called after the division " on the small Weuste " and the two northern ones " on the large Weuste ". The division of the northern Kotten took place in 1710 when the owner Jurgen auf der Weusten died, leaving the western Kotten to his daughter Catharina and the eastern to his son Wilhelm. In two of the three cottages, agriculture was practiced in the 18th century , and one was woven .

After Catharina's husband, the Linderhausen timber merchant Peter Eckhoff , the western Kotten in the north was also called " Eckhoff ", later " vor den Eicken " and " Müggeburg Weuster ". It fell into disrepair at the end of the 20th century. Weuste was on an important coal road from Witten to Elberfeld - today's state road L432, on which the factories in the Wupper area were supplied with fuel by independent coal drivers .

Weuste belonged in the late Middle Ages and early modern period to Gogericht District Schwelm in official weather the Counts of Mark . According to canon law it was in the parish of Schwelm. After the conquest of the county of Mark by France , Weuste was part of the Mairie Haßlinghausen in the Hagen arrondissement of the Ruhr department in the Grand Duchy of Berg from 1806 to 1813 . In 1815 the French-occupied area came to Prussia , which Weuste assigned to the newly created district of Hagen in the following year . From 1887 to 1922 Weuste was part of the office and the community of Nachbarebreck in the Schwelm district, which was split off from the district of Hagen . In 1922 Nebenebreck was incorporated into the city of Barmen , which in 1929 was united with the city of Elberfeld and other cities and communities to form Wuppertal.
