history

Altenbrilon memorial stone

The place near the intersection of various old military routes was called In den Bruilen . This is probably the place that was confirmed to the diocese of Magdeburg in 973 in a certificate from Emperor Otto II. As Westphalian possession. The place was about 200 meters northeast of the city of Brilon. It was known as Villa Brilon . The place was obliged to pay tithes to the St. Patrocli monastery in Soest .

Altenbrilon was a market town, a member of the canons lived there around 1150. The knight Siegfried von Brilon also had his seat here. When the town of Brilon was founded, Archbishop Engelbert transferred the parish rights of the Altenbrilon church to the new place. As a relic from this time, the Hubertus chapel still stands in the new cemetery. This chapel stands on the foundation walls of the Georgskirche in Altenbrilon . This parish church existed at least since the 12th century; at the time of Archbishop Rainald of Cologne it came to the Patroklistift in Soest. Archbishop Adolf I confirmed the transfer in a deed in 1196. In the Middle Ages, Altenbrilon was the center of nine rural places that did not have their own church: Assinchusen, Dugeler, Dederinchusen, Desbeke, Hildebrinkhusen, Hoyeshusen, Lederike, Wenster and Wülfte. Thus the parish was a very large parish. With the founding of Brilon, the functional decline of the church to the chapel began; However, this was called vetus Ecclesia parochialis in the early modern times . Like many other places, the place fell victim to the great desolation process in the late Middle Ages . It was probably a creeping, slow process. This began around 1300. There are different theories about the reasons for leaving the place. For example, the attraction of the city of Brilon is being considered.

Memorial stone

In a small green area opposite the cemetery, a bronze plaque attached to a boulder reminds of the former location.
