history

Auf den Eicken was first mentioned in a document in 1480, but the time of origin of the settlement is assumed to be between 1200 and 1300 at the end of the medieval clearing period. There was a split from Kreimendahl on the Eicken .

At Auf den Eicken, a presumably prehistoric old road ran along the route of today's K3 district road from Schwelm via Radevormwald to Wegerhof , which was used as an iron and coal road.

Around 1500 it is documented by documents that half of the farm Auf den Eicken was subject to the Bergisches Amt_Beyenburg . The jurisdiction of the court was subordinate to a Bergisch judge specially appointed for the Bergische Höfe in the otherwise Brandenburg- dominated parish of Halver, which often led to a dispute with the Brandenburg count actually responsible for the parish .

In 1818 eight residents lived in the village. According to the location and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg , Auf den Eicken was categorized as a farm and in 1838 had a population of 20, all of whom were Protestant. At that time, the place belonged to the Eickhöfer peasantry within the mayor's office of Halver and owned three houses, a factory or mill and an agricultural building.

The community encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 32 inhabitants who lived in five houses.
