history

In the 19th century, Winterberg belonged to the localities 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 .

The place is marked on the parish cadastre of the parcel cadastre of the mayor's Hardenberg from 1815/16 as on Winterberg next to the neighboring Schliepershäuschen. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 describes the double location as Schliepershaus and the Prussian first survey from 1843 as Winterberg . Up until the middle of the 20th century, the double location is labeled as Winterberg on measuring table sheets .

With the municipal reform of 1929, the southern part of Dönberg was split off and incorporated into the newly founded town of Wuppertal with other Nevigeser villages outside Dönberg, the rest of Dönberg with Winterberg initially remained with Neviges. 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.
