history

In 1836 Neheim left the mayor's office, which was formed around 1816, and received city rights . A year later, the district association Hüsten was formed from the remaining area, with its headquarters in Hüsten . The next largest administrative unit was the Arnsberg district . At the time, the official association consisted of the three parishes of Hüsten, Vosswinkel and Enkhausen , which comprised a total of 16 localities. For the centenary of the office in 1937, 19,661 inhabitants were counted on a total area of 147.19 km². The administrative seat remained in Hüsten, even when the place left office in 1941 and was merged with the city of Neheim to form the new city of Neheim-Hüsten . Since 1910 the office building was the seat of the administration.

In 1961 the office had a population of 16,614 people in an area of 132.02 km². At that time, the district of Hüsten included Bachum, Bruchhausen (Ruhr), Echthausen, Enkhausen, Estinghausen, Hachen, Herdringen, Hövel, Holzen, Langscheid (Sorpesee), Müschede, Niedereimer, Stemel, Voßwinkel and Wennigloh.
