Etymology and history
Woltersberg is derived from a personal name Wolters . In the local dialect the place was also called Sticksholt .
In the 19th century Woltersberg 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 .
The place is marked on the parcel cadastre of the parcel cadastre of the Hardenberg mayor from 1815/16 as the stake wood. The place is labeled on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 as Woltersberg . On the Prussian first photo from 1843 the place is marked as stick wood, on the Wuppertal city map from 1930 it is labeled with Woltersberg .
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 Woltersberg. The city boundary between Wuppertal and Neviges ran north of Woltersberg until 1975, and south of it ran from Neviges to Elberfeld until 1929. Due to the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the again divided Dönberg was now also incorporated into Wuppertal, with the exception of the northern suburbs that remained with Velbert. As a result, Woltersberg lost its border position.
