history

The settlement of the area around Berge can be dated as early as the Mesolithic based on finds east of the place . Berge was first mentioned in a document in the years 1125 and 1138, but the date of origin of today's settlement is assumed to be between 800 and 900 as a result of the early Franconian expansion period.

In 1818 there were 16 people living in the village. In 1838 Berg belonged as a mountain to the Ehringhauser farming community within the Halver mayor . The place, which was categorized as a courtyard according to the location and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg , had three residential buildings, three factories or mills and six agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 29 residents lived in the village, all of whom were Protestant.

The community encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 33 residents who lived in five houses.

Since the early Middle Ages (according to other sources since prehistoric times) an important old road led past Berge from Cologne via Wipperfürth , Halver, Lüdenscheid , Werdohl and Arnsberg to Soest , a trade , pilgrimage and military route .
