history

Birlenbach was first mentioned in 1461 in an appraisal list of the Rentei zu Siegen as a place with two resident feudal farms. Originally a cluster village with agricultural and haubergs-tanning activities of the inhabitants, it changed in the course of industrialization and the associated construction activity within the place to a street village. From the previous 15 full-time smallholder farms in the mid-19th century, the number of farmers in the village fell to six in 1895. In the 20th century, agriculture in Birlenbach was only a sideline. There were various small pits around Birlenbach. One of the largest was the Abendröte mine , in operation between 1864 and 1899.

Birlenbach belonged to the former Weidenau office . On July 1, 1966, the place came to the city of Hüttental in the course of the municipal reorganization . On January 1, 1975, Birlenbach became part of the city of Siegen through the incorporation of the city of Hüttental.
