Location of Ahe in Halver

Ahe is a court in Halver in the Märkisches Kreis in the administrative district of Arnsberg in North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).

Location and description

Ahe is located in the west of the Halveran urban area on the city limits to Breckerfeld in the valley of the Ennepe . The neighboring towns are Osenberg , Oberbuschhausen , Buschhauser Hammer , Niederbuschhausen , Burbach , Hartmecke , Grafweg and Holte .

The place can be reached via a road that branches off the federal road 229 at Niederennepe and connects the villages in the Ennepetal. South of Ahe, the Burbach, which rises near Holte, separates the town from the 381 meter high Nesselberg.

history

Ahe was first mentioned in a document in 1469, but the time when the settlement was established by the Sugambrian tribes is believed to have occurred between the turn of the century and the year 500. Thus Ahe is one of the first settlement areas in the city area.

At the latest since the early Middle Ages (according to other information since prehistoric times) an important old road from Wipperfürth to Breckerfeld ran south of Ahe . To the south of the place there is a ring wall on the Bollberg , which, according to excavations (ceramic finds from the 9th century) and recent research, is interpreted as a Franconian expansion and refuge castle to secure this old road.

Ahe was one of the free estates in the parish of Halver. Absplisse from Ahe are Upper and Lower Buschhausen .

In 1818 there were 27 residents in the village. According to the table of localities and distances from the government district of Arnsberg , Ahe was categorized as a farm and in 1838 had a population of 48, one of them Catholic and 47 Protestant. At that time, the place belonged to the Eickhöfer peasantry within the mayor's office of Halver and owned six residential buildings, two factories or mills and six agricultural buildings.

The municipality encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 61 inhabitants who lived in 12 houses.
