Partial view of Moosfelde

Moosfelde was at least until the High Middle Ages going back rigging initially owned by the Counts of Arnsberg and then the monastery Wedinghausen before it was secularised in the 19th century. Since the 1960s, a new urban quarter of the then city of Neheim-Hüsten (now the city of Arnsberg ) has been built on the estate .

Notation

The oldest spelling was marsuelde (= Marsfelde, Marsfeld). This term, about the origin of which there are various theses, was used for the last time in 1370 as far as is known. Mentioned for the first time in 1544, Moosfelde took this place. The name Mastfelde or Masfelde still existed in the Hüstener Bürgerbuch in the 1780s .

Counts and monasteries

The estate was apparently originally an allod of the Counts of Arnsberg. The estate was first mentioned in a document in 1166. This was preceded by the murder of Count Heinrich I von Arnsberg of his brother. As a result, a coalition of some bishops and other greats took the Count's Castle Arnsberg . In the document mentioned, the count had to cede the Moosfelde estate to the Archbishop of Cologne, Rainald von Dassel . The archbishop probably returned the property to the count in the form of a fief on imperial intervention . In 1185 Heinrich I transferred the property "... which all his ancestors belonged to him under inheritance law ..." to the newly founded Wedinghausen Monastery. From then on it served as the material equipment of the monastery. The estate suffered from devastation during the Soest feud in the 15th century . There is little reliable information about history in the following centuries. The estate was administered by the Schulten von Moosfelde for the monastery.

19th and 20th centuries

As a result of the secularization through the new state rule over the Duchy of Westphalia, Hessen-Darmstadt , the relationship between Moosfelde and Wedinghausen Monastery ended. The property now belonged to the Hessian and from 1816 to the Prussian tax authorities . The property was leased or sold by him. In the first half of the 19th century the company seems to have been in economic difficulties several times. At that time the property comprised 220 hectares. The Menze family, originally from Gerlingen , owned the property until 1913. After that, ownership changed hands several times. In the 20th century, a new building was built in place of the old manor house from the 17th century. The old manor house fell into disrepair. The new manor house was demolished in 1972.

City quarter

Emergence

The first plans to use the estate for residential development came up in 1957. In several construction phases, a quarter of terraced houses, single-family houses and multi-storey apartment buildings with the associated infrastructure facilities such as school, kindergarten, church and shops was created. The whole thing was designed as a garden city . The settlement is about 2.5 km from downtown Neheim . By 1969 around 1000 apartments with around 3000 residents were built. In the 1970s, more homes were built instead of the eight-story tenement houses originally planned. The original goal of creating living space for 5000 people could no longer be achieved. This and other reasons resulted in the closure of shops.

Newer development

In the meantime, there was an urgent need for renovation, especially in the multi-storey rental apartment buildings. At 4 percent, the population decline was above average. The district was characterized by an above-average proportion of foreigners and migrants. The number of socially disadvantaged households was also high. The rather high number of vacancies in both rental apartments and businesses was problematic.

A citizens' initiative was formed to increase the attractiveness. The city of Arnsberg made Moosfelde a focus of the urban development concept of the city of Arnsberg within the framework of the federal-state funding program Urban Redevelopment West . This was coordinated by professional neighborhood management. In the following years, various measures to increase the attractiveness of the quarter were implemented in cooperation with residents, real estate companies and other stakeholders.

Community facilities and associations

The community facilities include a community center, a full-time youth center, an adventure playground, the culture and integration center Hope eV, the Catholic Church of St. Elisabeth, a Catholic and a Protestant kindergarten, and a municipal elementary school.

Among other things, there has been a shooting club since 1979. There is also a settlement community and the Neheim building community.
