history

The place was mentioned for the first time in 1553, namely "Tryn in der Ailpenn" in an exchange document called Berg - Sayn . The spelling of the first mention was in the Ailpenn .

The A. Mercator map from 1575 names the place in the Olpen .

In the fodder oat slip of the Homburg rulership of 1580, seven "Bergische subjects" are counted as taxable in the Alpe .

During the turmoil of the Second World War , makeshift quarters were created in a guesthouse for numerous evacuees from the bombed cities on the Rhine and Wupper. Some families then gain a foothold in the Alpe area in the long term.

In the village, one of the rare full-time farms for livestock and dairy farming has been preserved in 2019.
