Etymology and history

On the map of the domain monastery estates in the district of Solingen, Mayor of Gräfrath from 1818, the field corridor in the area of ​​the later brick field is still labeled with the name Puhlerfeld . A large part of the area is cultivated there in the form of small garden parcels, no development has yet been recorded.

The original and much older brick field, which is located east of the old town, was for a long time an area owned by the Gräfrath Monastery and on which field fires were operated to manufacture masonry bricks . The emergence of the new brick field south of the old town could have been in connection with the construction of the Solingen – Wuppertal-Vohwinkel railway line and the opening of the nearby Gräfrath station in 1887 at the end of the 19th century . For logistical reasons, the bricks could then have been burned right next to the train station with its goods handling facility .

The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and the Prussian first survey from 1843 do not yet show the new brick field, but in this area there is a small cemetery, which was later expanded to become a park cemetery. The place is also not yet recorded in the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871. As a result, the local situation emerged later and then belonged to the mayor's office of Gräfrath . A development is only shown on the Elberfeld measuring table sheet of the topographic map 1: 25,000, 1907 edition. From around this time onwards, this local area is labeled as a brick field on city maps and the DGK5 until today .

With the city association of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Ziegelfeld became a district of Solingen.
