history

The topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1825 lists the place as two oaks , the Leichlinger municipality map from 1830 as II oaks . From the Prussian new admission of 1892, the place is regularly recorded on the table sheets as two oaks at the end of the 20th century . The place was in the 19th century on the Communications Weg between Reusrath and Leichlingen , the route ( Trompeter Straße - Reusrather Straße - Opladener Straße - Brückenstraße ) is now interrupted by the railway line at the place.

In 1815/16 the place had 15 residents, as did 1830. In 1832 Zwei Eichen belonged to the mayor's office of Leichlingen . The place, categorized as a courtyard town according to the statistics and topography of the Düsseldorf administrative district , had three residential buildings and two agricultural buildings at that time. At that time 19 residents lived in the village, all of whom were evangelicals. In 1867 the Gruiten – Cologne – Mülheim railway line was opened near the town.

The municipality and estate district statistics of the Rhine Province lists Schraffenberg in 1871 with one house and twelve residents. In the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province in 1885, a house with eight inhabitants is given. In 1895 the place had three houses with 14 inhabitants, also in 1905.

Until the middle of the 20th century, Zwei Eichen had its own location and a second settlement core north of the courtyard. From the middle of the 20th century, residential and commercial buildings became more concentrated and the place merged into the expanding Leichlinger suburb. The original courtyard was finally demolished and built over in the 1960s, at the same time the L294 state road was laid out on the site.
