history

Berlinghausen was probably a settlement of the so-called " -inghausen " type that originated in the 10th century . As the basic word -hausen shows, the place names on -inghausen are pure settlement names in their origin. Its defining word is an Old Saxon male personal name that names the owner of the settlement in question at the time it was named, but not necessarily also when it came into being. The place name can therefore be interpreted as " at the houses of the people of Berilo or Bern (i), Berno ".

A former medieval settlement (Gut, Hof, Kotten) is not mentioned and must therefore have perished over time ( desertification ). Bernynckhuesen was first mentioned as a field name in 1516. In 1670 the feudal court deals with a fiefdom of Peter Becker. 1698 and 1740 around a meadow near Berlinghausen. In 1819 Johann Beul offered a property in Berlinghausen as security for a property sale.

According to a legend, the Knights of Berlinghausen are said to have stayed in the former Motte to the southwest . The merchants and carters with their loaded carts traveling on the way through his area attacked and robbed. According to the legend, the Attendorn citizens with their riflemen lurked and pursued the cunning and dangerous robber baron for a long time until they finally caught him and his wife, who was accompanying him, on the way back from heroes and murdered both of them. After the murder, his castle was ransacked and set on fire. The town of Attendorn then appropriated an approximately 1000 acre forest complex that belonged to the castle.

In the woods near Berlinghausen, it used to be common to herd cattle, goats and sheep in separate herds, also known as Hude . The animals from the local farmers were looked after by hired shepherds in the heather and wilderness. The extensive forest holdings belonging to the city of Attendorn should now, in the long term, be used for profitable forestry purposes. Therefore, in 1860 this form of forest / pasture management (community Hude) was banned and repealed by the city of Attendorn.

Berlinghausen is not listed in the address books of the Olpe district until 1956. Only in 1957 the place can be identified again as a settlement. In the population statistics of the city of Attendorn from December 31, 1988 Berlinghausen had 23 inhabitants.

At the same time, the one-class school in Repe was closed, which taught not only the children from Berlinghausen but also those from Hofkühl , Rieflinghausen and Repe.
