The name comes from the old estate Hupoldesroth, which was written mentioned first time in 950 A.D. Hubbelrath was a farming settlement with an old romanic church. After Hubbelrath became a part of Düsseldorf in 1975 Hubbelrath got three new settlements: Knittkuhl - its nucleus was the estate Knittkuhl, but it hasn't been a settlement before it became a part of Düsseldorf, the Stratenhof-settlement and the settlement Rotthäuser Weg. Knittkuhl was split from Hubbelrath to form a separate Stadtteil in 2014.^[3] In Hubbelrath there are a green fee^{[clarification needed]} and a barracks of the Bundeswehr.
