history

The Zieleskotten, a small single - storey half-timbered house , was very likely built on the Itterufer before 1664, and its existence is documented from the second half of the 17th century. In the map series Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Solingen , from 1715 the Kotten is shown as Z. Kot. recorded. He belonged to the Itter Honschaft within the Solingen office. The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1824 and the first Prussian survey from 1844 show the Kotten unlabeled.

At the beginning, the Kotten was owned for a long time by the Schleifer family Linder, who came from the Ittertal, only in the 19th century did it become the property of the Mutz family, which is why it was sometimes also called Mutzkotten .

After the Mairien and later mayor's offices were founded at the beginning of the 19th century, Zieleskotten belonged to the Wald mayorry . 1815/16 lived 13 in 1830, 16 people as figurines or grinding Kotten designated targets cottas . In 1832 the place was part of the first village honors within the forest mayor's office. The place, which was categorized as a court town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had four residential buildings, a factory or mill and three agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 17 residents lived in the village, five of them Catholic and twelve Protestant denominations. The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province list the place in 1871 with three houses and 18 inhabitants. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province of 1888, three houses with 14 inhabitants are given for Zieleskotten. In 1895 the district had three houses with 18 inhabitants, in 1905 four houses and 19 inhabitants are given.

From 1913 to 1916, the lido Ittertal was built near Mittelitter, which consumed a lot of water during its operation, which it mainly covered by the water from the Holzer Bach. In 1927 a reservoir was built near Lindersberg to remedy the water shortage. But water was still needed that one wanted to withdraw from the target scotch. With the community of heirs, which jointly owned the Zieleskotten in 1929, an agreement was reached not to continue operating the Kotten and instead to convert it into a residential building. With the town union of Groß-Solingen in 1929, the Kotten became part of Solingen. The target cabin was destroyed in the air raids on Solingen on November 5, 1944 and was not rebuilt. The Gräfrath sewage treatment plant of the Bergisch-Rheinischer Wasserverband has been located on the site since 1976. The former belongs to the Kotten half-timbered house with the address Kotzerter 25, 25a is since 12 June 1987 under monument protection .
