history

Worternocken is probably a split from the nearby Worth Hof . The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 as a word nosing and on the Prussian first recording of 1843 as a word nosing .

In the 19th century, Worthernocken belonged to the Obensiebeneick farmers in the Hardenberg mayor's office , 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 municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, a house with 15 inhabitants is given for Worthernocken. The place is called Worther Nocken at the time .

With the municipal reform of 1929, the southeastern part of Obensiebeneick was split off around Worthernocken and incorporated into the newly founded city of Wuppertal together with southern Dönberg villages, the rest of Obensiebeneick 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.

Before the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the place fell into desolation.
