history

The Worth court was first mentioned in 1355 as up der vurt in a list of the goods belonging to the Hardenberg lordship and belonged to the Duchy of Berg in the late Middle Ages . The name Ufr Wardt is documented around 1600 . In 1703 membership of the Hardenberger farmers' association Oberste Siebeneick is documented under the name Ufr Wurdt .

In the 19th century Worth belonged to the farmers Obensiebeneick 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 .

In the parish dictionary for the Rhineland province from 1888, two houses with seven inhabitants are given.

With the municipal reform of 1929, the southeastern part of Obensiebeneick was split off and incorporated into the newly founded city of Wuppertal together with southern Dönberger villages, the rest of Obensiebeneick and Worth initially remained with Neviges. Due to the regional reform of North Rhine-Westphalia , Neviges came to the city of Velbert at the beginning of 1975 and the rest of Obensiebeneick was also incorporated into Wuppertal.
