history
Incorporation into the city of Arnsberg
Neheim-Hüsten was created on April 1, 1941 by merging the city of Neheim and the freedom of Hüsten.
When the dam of the Möhnetalsperre broke on May 17, 1943 after a bomb attack , a flood wave of up to 12 meters high occurred in the Möhne Valley. The buildings in Neheim near the river were also hit by the tidal wave. There was massive destruction of buildings and casualties among the civilian population. The dead in the Möhnewiesen forced labor camp were particularly numerous .
Neheim-Hüsten has been part of Arnsberg since it was incorporated on January 1, 1975. Neheim and Hüsten have been independent districts of Arnsberg since 1983 .
