history
Blintrop was first mentioned in a document in 1254. In the Middle Ages it belonged to the County of Arnsberg and was very close to the County of Mark . Its history is shaped by the main courtyard and farm association 'Blintrop', which has belonged to the property of the St. Severin monastery in Cologne since the early Middle Ages. During the municipal reorganization , which came into force on January 1, 1975, Blintrop, as well as Affeln and Altenaffeln, were reclassified from the Balve office to the town of Neuenrade.
Customs and activities
The Blintrop Children's Protect Festival has been taking place on Ascension Day for several decades . The two-day festival offers a colorful children's program during the day and music and dance for the adults in the evening. The festival is held in the old village school by the young adults and parents of the village.
The Blintrop New Year Singing has been taking place since around the 1980s. Here the village youth goes from house to house on January 1st and wishes the residents a Happy New Year by singing the New Year's song and serving schnapps. The boozy custom is accompanied by fundraising for an annually changing charitable cause, which is usually announced about a week in advance in the local newspaper.
