In the Middle Ages the place belonged to the Steinbach (Lindlar) office. In a document dated September 6, 1363, it is noted: "Item de Wipperfelde, Bechen, Curten, Oylpe, Lyntlan, Ouerroide, Engelskirchen, Keppel et parochia de Wippervuerde in officio de Steynbech".

The place belonged to the district of the Hohekeppler regional court to Lindlar . For the years 1653 to 1656 a large trial of the Wipperfelder against the lieutenant colonel Johann von Mosbach called Breidenbach zur Müllen and the Junker Jobst von Hammerstein zu Honrath for the hunting rights in Wipperfeld is documented. Witnesses were interrogated by Scheffen from Dabringhausen and Lennep in the Lamsfuß court near Wipperfeld.
