history

Altfinnentrop was called Finnentrop until 1912 and represents the origin of today's capital of the municipality. The first written mention of Finnentrop dates back to 1266, in which a knight Symon de Vinninctorpe is mentioned in connection with an exchange deal. Further spellings of the place name were, among others, Vynnentrop , Vinnentrup , Vynnintorpe , Vinningtorpe or Vinnincdorp . Its origin or meaning has not been clarified beyond doubt. On the one hand, an interpretation of the part of the word Finne as a field name for musty, damp and boggy areas is suggested, on the other hand, the name could refer to old populated land before the Carolingian incorporation and be translated as pasture or meadow farm. The ending “trop” is derived from “trop” or “torp” for “village” and is a common part of the name of North Rhine-Westphalian settlements (e.g. Bottrop, Castrop). 1349, VII. 27.

Two shallow spots in the water served as a ford to cross the two rivers. After the Provincial Road was built in 1841, the road conditions improved, and new houses and an inn ( Lindenbaum ) were built on the other bank of the Bigge . During the construction of the Ruhr-Sieg railway from 1858 to 1861 the village was founded on Neubrücke located station Finnentrop .
