Kohlfurth is a residential area in the Wuppertal district of Cronenberg, at the border formed by the Wupper river to Solingen. On the opposite side of the Wupper there is a locality of the same name in the Solingen district of Solingen-Mitte.
There are two interpretations regarding the etymological origin of the name. The first suggests that the name comes from a Kohlenfurth, which means a ford across the Wupper where coal transports from the Ruhr to Solingen were made. The more likely explanation is the derivation from a farm designation after the Külfbach, which flows into the Wupper at Kohlfurth. Records from 1471 note the farm "in der Kolve"; in 1598 Kulfert; in 1656 Kullff; in 1659 Kolfert; and in 1690 Kolffurt. Kolf, Kolve, or Külf means waterhole.
