However, in addition Garath also has a large farm in the area of Hellerhof a long and ancient history. This farm was already mentioned in a document in 1447 as " Hoff to Hellendaill ". The name is derived from the valley of the Garather creek, the banks of a gorge falls steeply in the area of the court. The valley was named Hell Valley and is the namesake.

In the already mentioned deed of 1447 the farm was by inheritance property of the then owner of the house Garath. In another document, the Court is also mentioned in 1503. Because the farm was at that time on the thoroughfare from Dusseldorf to Mülheim (Cologne), he was completely devastated by frequent migrating groups of mercenaries in the Thirty Years' War. The road was laid in 1670 by about 500m to the east. The farm was from this time off the road and was constructed and leased back. 1676 for the first time the name of a tenant was led in a church book. 1788 the farm was sold to Gottfried Klein and was now an independent farm. Later, new and Althellerhof was divided among purchase of lands by the Court in the two courtyards. The buildings of the Neuhellerhofes were called in the 19th century house on the road. Around 1850, bought Prince Peter von Arenberg the Neuhellerhof and leased this 1895. 1909, Paul Poensgen who had already purchased the house in 1890 Garath, also the Neuhellerhof. 1936 ended the tenancy of Althellerhofes. After the abolition of the lease of the Neuhellerhofes 1939 new and Althellerhof were merged back into a commodity. The last owner of the farm from the family of Burgdorff sold 1962/1971 surfaces on both sides of the road to the city of Koblenz Dusseldorf for a building. The name of the district derives from a " Musterhof " known Althellerhof.
