history

The "Schnurre" small railway of the Altenaer Eisenbahn district, popularly known as the vernacular, contributed significantly to the development of the district. It connected the two industrial cities of Lüdenscheid and Werdohl through the Versetal and ensured that both people and goods could be transported more easily to Augustenthal. In addition, the branch from the small train to the Plate company in Brüninghausen was located in Augustenthal . Most of the role as a transport route was taken over by Bundesstraße 229 after the end of the Kleinbahn .

Infrastructure

The structure of the district is mainly characterized by many detached single-family houses. In the course of the further part of the city some apartment buildings were built. Many of the houses have been extensively renovated in recent years. Due to the consequences of demographic change and the decentralized location, the district has lost many residents in recent years.
