For a long time, Ziegelfeld was an undeveloped area that was owned by the Gräfrath Monastery and on which field fire was operated for the production of masonry bricks , which is where the name of the later residential area comes from.

history

The name Ziegelfeld appears for the first time on the map of the Gräfrather and Burger Grund monasteries from the second half of the 18th century. There, a field corridor is drawn in at the location of the later Ziegelfeld courtyard with the name Kloster so-called brick fields . The topographical recording of the Rhineland from 1824 now shows a place there, it is there as a. Named Ziegelfeld . The place of residence belonged to the Honschaft Gräfrath within the office of Solingen. The Prussian first recording from 1843 shows the place named as Ziegelfeld. The location is also recorded in the topographic map of the Düsseldorf administrative district from 1871, but not named.

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, Ziegelfeld belonged to the Gräfrath mayor's office . In 1815/16 three people lived in the village, which was categorized as small arable land, and in 1830 also three people. In 1832, Ziegelfeld was still part of the Gräfrath honors within the Gräfrath mayor. The place, categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the administrative district of Düsseldorf , had a residential house and an agricultural building at that time. At that time, six people lived in the village, all of them of Catholic faith. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with four houses and 47 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the province of Rhineland in 1885 seven houses with 64 inhabitants are given. In 1895 the district had seven houses with 70 inhabitants, in 1905 six houses and 49 inhabitants are given.

At the end of the 19th century, a new brick field was built south of the old town of Gräfrath . This process could have been connected with the construction of the Solingen – Wuppertal-Vohwinkel railway and the opening of the nearby Gräfrath station in 1887. For logistical reasons, the bricks could then have been burned right next to the station with its goods handling facility .

With the city association of Groß-Solingen in 1929, Ziegelfeld became a district of Solingen. The buildings belonging to the old brick field were probably laid down in the first quarter of the 20th century. In the area between today's Melanchthonstrasse, Huttenstrasse and Schulstrasse, the first large housing estate of the Gräfrath construction association was built in the 1920s. This was extended to Schnitzlerstraße until the 1930s. After the Second World War , building activity increased along the upper end of Melanchthonstrasse, with the original brick field settlement area also being built over. In the second half of the 1950s, the single-family housing estate was built on Katharinenstrasse with its side streets. Since then, the place name of the old brick field has not been recorded in city maps at the place of the old residential area.
