Geographical location
The city of Kierspe is a municipality in southwest Westphalia on the border between the Bergisches Land and the Sauerland .

City structure
The urban area is not divided into districts .

history
The name Kierspe is first mentioned in a document from the Werden an der Ruhr monastery between 900 and 1130. The first documented mention of the house of Rhade goes back to the year 991, when Heribert , the Archbishop of Cologne, acquired the Herrenhof Rhade, which he donated to the Benedictine Abbey of Deutz in 1003 .
The Servatius Church in Rönsahl was probably built in 1260 in place of a previous building. In 1330 the wooden church in the center of the village was replaced by a stone church, where the Protestant parish church of St. Margaretha, built between 1816 and 1817, stands today. The medieval church formed the center of the place. The ring-shaped street layout around the church can still be seen today.
Politically, the Kierspe belonged to the county of Mark in the Middle Ages and the early modern period . Rönsahl was initially under the rule of the Counts of Berg, before the place also came to the County of Mark in 1367. In the course of the Reformation of this territory, the inhabitants of Kierspe became Protestant since 1574. In the late Middle Ages, the so-called Thingslinde was the place of negotiation for a vocal court . Rönsahl had its own court from 1565 to 1753.
Iron processing was already economically important in the Middle Ages. There were a number of hammer mills in what is now the city. Originally this trade was based on local ore deposits. An ironworks on the Jubach was archaeologically examined a few years ago. After these were exploited, the necessary pig iron was obtained from the Siegerland . The name "Eisenstraße" refers to this past.
The district of Rönsahl experienced a significant economic boom due to powder manufacturing . A few stately villas in the village bear witness to this. The Rönsahl hunting powder Diana became known .
The decision of 1841 to raise Kierspe and Rönsahl to office was put into practice five years later.
In 1908 the official and later town hall of Kierspe was completed. After four years of construction, the Kerspe dam with 16 million m³ of storage space was put into operation in 1913.
The office of Kierspe was dissolved in 1968 in favor of the future city of Kierspe. The first comprehensive school in the rural and small-town area of North Rhine-Westphalia was founded in Kierspe as early as 1969 . In 1986 the town hall moved into the former headquarters of the Knipping screw factory.
The regional project Oben an der Volme has been running together with Halver, Schalksmühle and Meinerzhagen since 2012 . Most of the money comes from the Federal Republic and the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. The project aims to upgrade the city center in the four cities. The Volmetalbahn is to be activated again for passenger traffic and the Volmetalradweg is to be built. An art and cultural axis Art Volmetal is in the making. The Volme amusement park was built in Kierspe . In the project area, the Volme is to be revitalized within the framework of the EU Water Framework Directive . The river bed of the Volme is to be renatured and the ecological value increased significantly.
Incorporations
The city in its current boundaries was created, among other things, in the course of the municipal reorganization of the Altena district and the independent city of Lüdenscheid on January 1, 1969, when the two municipalities of the office of Kierspe, Kierspe and Rönsahl, were combined and parts of the area of the dissolved municipality of Lüdenscheid-Land were added. The resulting large community was also granted city rights. Slight changes were only implemented on January 1, 1975, when Kierspe ceded parts of the urban area to Marienheide and at the same time incorporated areas of the municipality of Klüppelberg ( Oberbergischer Kreis ).
Population statistics
The graphical representation of the population development shows an almost continuous increase in the number of inhabitants of the city of Kierspe from 1975 to 2004. Since then the number of inhabitants has decreased again.

coat of arms
The coat of arms of the city of Kierspe was adopted by the Kierspe office:
It shows a shield of gold and silver divided by a red and silver chess bar of the Count von der Mark , above a black raven (Rauk) striding to the right, below the blue armored red lion of the Dukes of Berg .
The coat of arms unites symbols from the two member communities of the office. The parish of Rönsahl had in the upper field Saint Servatius the patron saint of the church in Rönsahl, while underneath were the beam and the lion. In the coat of arms of the municipality of Kierspe, however, the lower field was empty, and in the upper field was the raven or Rauk . The Rauk became a symbol of the community, since in the 18th century the young recruits in blue coats imitated the call of the raven when they were being examined. The same call was also a battle call in brawls.
The coats of arms were designed by Otto Hupp . The municipal coats of arms of Kierspe and Rönsahl were approved on October 17, 1935, the official coat of arms on August 20, 1936 and the city coat of arms on July 29, 1969.
Town twinning
Since 1988 there has been a town partnership with the French town of Montigny-le-Bretonneux near Paris. The partnership emerged from a long-term exchange between the Kierspe comprehensive school and a college in Montigny-le-Bretonneux.
We have been sponsoring the English city of Denton, a suburb of Manchester, since 2012.
Culture and sights
Kierspe does not have a theater. The pedagogical center of the comprehensive school in Kierspe is available for cultural events with a capacity of over 400 people. Another venue is the historic distillery in Kierspe-Rönsahl , which offers space for around 120 people. Cultural events in Kierspe and the neighboring town of Meinerzhagen are funded by the communication and culture association KUK .
Museums
Germany's first Bakelite museum is located in the old office building of Kierspe . In the Museum Hammerwerk Schleiper Hammer , the production of Bakelite objects such as egg cups, tobacco boxes, funnels and coasters made of Bakelite with old original machines from the beginnings of plastic production around 1930 is shown. There are also demonstrations of old blacksmithing in the “Schleiper Hammer”. In particular, the production of the Africa spade is shown. In the Fritz Linde Museum, the story of the local poet Fritz Linde is presented in his former home. Around 15,000 pewter figures and 50 dioramas can be viewed in the privately run Märkische Zinnfiguren Kabinett . The museum was located in the old town of Lüdenscheid until 1997 .
music
In the music community Kierspe, the city band, the big band Swingsound , the youth big band High-Vol (u) me , the youth orchestra WGK-Wild-Generations-Kids and the accordion orchestra have come together to form a common association. In addition to this amalgamation, music is made in the marching band of the fire brigade, the wind choir of the Free Evangelical Congregation, the Hegering Rönsahl wind corps and the Rönsahl wind group.
Buildings
The Herrenhof Haus Rhade is a very old building in Kierspe . It was first mentioned in 991. After the farm had been pledged to various noble families in the following centuries, it was taken over by the von Holtzbrinck family. The Schwietzke family have lived in the property since 1916, which is why it is not open to the public. Between 1250 and 1450 an ironworks was in operation above the house.
The Margarethenkirche is the oldest church in Kierspe, dates back to the 12th century and is now a Protestant parish church. The current building with the onion dome was built in the first half of the 19th century. The second oldest church in the city is today's Servatiuskirche . It was built in the late Romanesque period. In 1766 the nave burned down and was rebuilt in the baroque era. Between 1959 and 1961 Gottfried Böhm built the modern Catholic Church of St. Josef . The Protestant Christ Church was built in 1952 in the Bahnhof district, which is mainly characterized by industry. The hall of the Free Evangelical Congregation is also located in the Bahnhof district. The St. Engelbert Church is located in the Rönsahl district.
Other important city buildings are the old office building and the Reidemeisterhaus Voswinkel , built in 1784 in the early classical style . The house Isenburg , a former gallery is used as a residence since in 2009.
The building with industrial or craft use is the building of the historic Rönsahl distillery (formerly Krugmann distillery from Meinerzhagen), the oil mill in Rönsahl with old fish ponds, the Schleiper Hammer and the compulsory mill near the Haus Rhade property (Rhader Mühle).
The Raukbrunnen, which was designed by the artist Waldemar Wien , who also created the spade fountain in front of the town hall, is located near the Margarethenkirche. The heraldic animal Kierspes, the raven (old German: Rauk), is depicted on the fountain.
On the Wienhagen ( 479.3 m above sea level ), the 16 m high Wienhagen observation tower was built in 1929 to commemorate those who fell in the First World War .
Parks and green spaces
In addition to a park in Haus Rhade that is not open to the public, Kierspe has a green area at the Thaler Teich in Kierspe-Dorf. The "Volme-Freizeitpark", which can be found at the train station, was also opened through funding from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia together with the city of Kierspe.
Protected areas for nature
Since December 30, 2003, there has been a landscape plan for the Kierspe urban area in which the areas outside the built-up districts and the scope of a development plan have been designated as landscape protection areas, provided that there is no higher protection status such as a nature reserve (NSG).
The quarry forests of the desert with two partial areas were designated as European protected areas ( FFH areas ). There are a total of 24 nature reserves of various sizes, totaling 248.41 hectares, which have a size of 0.68 ha to 56.88 ha. The Wienhagen nature reserve is also part of the FFH area Bruchwälder Wöste . 15 of the nature reserves are stream meadows, six are forests, two are grassland areas and one area is a heather.
There are 32 natural monuments in the urban area . 27 natural monuments are old individual trees or groups of trees, while the other four natural monuments are former quarries with a total area of 0.64 ha. The Thingslinde is among the natural monuments. This old court tree stood on the important highway between Amsterdam and Frankfurt in the Middle Ages and could be seen from a great distance. The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Linde is directly opposite the Thingslinde and is even bigger. The naming should remind of the foundation of the second German empire. The Hülloch cave is a cave in the area of Mount Arnei, the entrance of which was buried, but has now been exposed again. According to a local legend, the Schanhollen, small elf-like creatures, lived in the cloak and appeared at night. JCF Bährens reported on the Hülloch as early as 1798. He also reports on the "legends" of old Kiersper that the Hülloch was a refuge for the residents of Kierspe during the Thirty Years' War . In 2008, the Hülloch began to be explored and exposed, with some difficult construction work. In 2010 an entrance to the cave was uncovered.
There are also 32 small-scale protected landscape elements in the urban area . There are also numerous smaller legally protected biotopes , which are also located in areas of other protection categories.
The entire municipality has been part of the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge Nature Park since 2015 . From 1964 to 2015, the entire urban area was part of the Ebbegebirge Nature Park . A large part of it was already designated as a landscape protection area in 1964, the year the nature park was founded. There are two landscape protection areas in the landscape plan area. These are the Kierspe type A landscape protection area with 5,717.63 ha and the Kierspe type B landscape protection area with 312.91 ha. Type A landscape protection area stands for general landscape protection , while type B stands for special landscape protection. In the type A landscape protection area, the erection of buildings and first afforestation, including the creation of new Christmas tree cultures, are prohibited. In type B there is also a ban on converting grassland and fallow grassland. The type B landscape protection area consists of several sub-areas, while the type A landscape protection area forms a coherent area in which all other protected areas and the built-up areas are located within the planning area.
In addition to other bird species, the large bird species black stork and red kite occur in Kierspe .

traffic
Road traffic
The B 237 runs from Remscheid - Bergisch Born via Wipperfürth and the Rönsahl district to Kierspe-Bahnhof. This "route" used to go via Rönsahl to Meinerzhagen. The B 54 crosses the Kiersper districts of Rhadermühle, Bollwerk, Vollme, Grünenbaum and train station from the south of Meinerzhagen and from the north from Lüdenscheid - Bruges . The L 528 coming from Meinerzhagen goes through the district of Dorf and continues in the direction of Halver.
Bus and air transport
The bus traffic is now mainly carried out by the Märkische Verkehrsgesellschaft (MVG) and the Busverkehr Ruhr-Sieg (BRS) in the Verkehrsgemeinschaft Ruhr-Lippe (VRL) . Ten bus routes connect Kierspe with Meinerzhagen, Lüdenscheid, Hagen, Rönsahl and Ohl. In addition, there are other lines that primarily serve school traffic, as well as a citizens' bus .
Business aviation is possible via Meinerzhagen Airport.
Train traffic
Kierspe is on the Hagen – Dieringhausen railway line . After the local rail passenger traffic on the route between Marienheide and Bruges was discontinued in 1986, there were various reactivation efforts, which resulted in a resumption of passenger traffic on the route every two hours in December 2017. Kierspe was passed through without stopping. Freight trains from the Meinerzhagen- Krummenerler quarry continue north on the Volmetalbahn through Kierspe. From July to December 2019, the Kierspe station was rebuilt and expanded again to two tracks with a central platform. In December 2019, passenger traffic began operating every hour.
media
The daily newspaper in Kierspe is the Meinerzhagener Zeitung . Local radio is broadcast by Radio MK for the city on the frequencies 100.2 MHz (antenna) and 103.25 (cable).
Public facilities
The “Räukepütt” indoor pool, the city library and the city music school are attached to the comprehensive school. The city library has a branch in Rönsahl in the Alte Post . Youth centers have been set up in Kierspe and Rönsahl.
The local fire brigade is divided into the fire fighting trains Wehestrasse / Höckinghausen, Stadtmitte, Rönsahl and Vollme / Neuenhaus. The Neuenhaus extinguishing group has existed since 1835. It is the first extinguishing unit founded by German authorities.
education
In Kierspe there are two municipal community elementary schools, the Bismarck School (with the Servatius School sub-location) and the Pestalozzi School (with the Schanhollenschule sub-location).
The Freie Schule Kierspe is a state-approved private school of its own.
The Kierspe Municipal Comprehensive School (GSKI) was established in 1968/69 as one of the first schools of this type in North Rhine-Westphalia. It was considered to be the most important communal project of the post-war period because it also enabled the local cultural offering to be increased.
The Volmetal adult education center is represented by a branch and an office in Kierspe.
