history

The first documentary evidence relates to the year 1173. In the medieval spelling "Berchusen" , the place was associated with the parish Raumland and the county property from an early date . Further documents from the years 1299 and 1362 testify to an early settlement. Wittgenstein's possession can be proven in a document from 1466. The first bell for the church was bought in 1503. Hammer huts were set up in 1575, but they only operated until 1578. These were demolished and rebuilt in Balde . The Berghausen Schulzerei first appeared in 1590. The purchase of a second church bell took place in 1653. In 1773 the Berghausen Schulzerei was founded. The dilapidated church had to be demolished; The new building was inaugurated in 1793. Wittgenstein and thus also Berghausen became Prussian in 1816. In 1819 he moved to the Dotzlar district . In 1845 the Berghausen office was established. The choral society was founded in 1890. In 1905 the Berghausen shooting club was founded. In 1911 the place got a train station and was connected to the Erndtebrück – Bad Berleburg railway line . In the First World War , Berghausen counted 35 dead and two missing. The Second World War claimed another 53 fallen and 22 missing soldiers. Berghausen celebrated its 825th anniversary on September 5 and 6, 1998.

Since the territorial reform that came into force on January 1, 1975, the place has belonged to the Bad Berleburg urban area and was an independent municipality of the Berghausen office in the then Wittgenstein district until it was incorporated .

There was great resistance in the town to the city's plans to designate a priority zone called “Kilbe-Nord” for the use of wind energy near Berghausen. A citizens' initiative was founded.
