history
Around the 11th and 12th centuries, a wooden village church was built in what was then Bole . In the Libellus quadrupli cathedratici (List of Quarter Taxes) from 1180 Boele is listed as one of the parish churches in the district of Hagen. A document from 1186 certifies the elevation of the chapel in Bole to a parish church by the Archbishop of Cologne Sigewin von Are in 1080. The villages of Helfe ( Parva Bole ), Bathey ( Bateige ), Hengstey ( Hemstede ), and also belonged to this parish church Fley ( Vlie ).
In a deed dated July 13, 1240, the abbess of Herdecke Abbey recorded the sale of a farm . As witnesses appear u. a. the brothers Otto and Gerhard zu Bule . These brothers were knights of a noble family from Boel , who at that time probably lived on the Vriehoff (Grave farm , which was demolished in 1971) in Helfe ( Doirboyle op deme Helweghe ). It moved to Wetter in the 14th century , where it became extinct around 1500.
Until the end of the 14th century, Boele was subordinate to the Lords of Volmestein (Volmarstein), who in turn were subordinate to the Archbishop of Cologne. Its opponents were the Brandenburg counts , who took Volmarstein Castle in 1288 under Eberhard I von der Mark (see also Battle of Worringen ). With the destruction of the castle, Boele finally came under Brandenburg ownership in 1324. The parish of Boele became part of the march at the end of the 14th century.
In the 16th century the wooden ceiling of the parish church was replaced by stone cross vaults.
Between 1808 and 1813 Boele was under French occupation.
A new municipal administration was set up, which also included the villages of Eckesey , Fley, Halden , Herbeck and Holthausen . The administrative building called Am Garnier was on the corner of Hagenerstrasse and Overbergstrasse and remained there until 1829. The territorial reform carried out during the French occupation under Napoléon Bonaparte led in 1809 to the formation of a municipality Boele in the canton and arrondissement of Hagen . In 1815, the Boele office became part of the Hagen district on the occasion of the Prussian reorganization .
On July 20, 1847 the evangelical parish of Boele was founded. Up until this year all church activities had been observed by the Catholic pastor. A separate Protestant church and school were built between 1870 and 1873.
After a cholera epidemic, the then Catholic pastor Wilhelm Hecking brought two Franciscan women to Boele to look after the sick. They worked in the care of the sick and orphans from 1869 in a half-timbered house. With the construction of a three-story brick building, the original cell of the St. Josef Hospital (since 1930: St. Johannes Hospital) was built, with a chapel in 1879, an extension to the east in 1888, an extension to the south in 1902 and an operating theater and an operating theater in 1912 Isolation ward was attached.
The foundation stone of today's Catholic St. Johannes Baptist Church was laid in the choir room in 1877. The construction of the neo-Romanesque style church took place in sections with the gradual demolition of the old Romanesque village church. In August 1882, half of the old church and half of the new church were still there. The sandstone used for the construction was obtained from a local quarry at the height between Bathey and Hengstey. In 1887 the western side of the tower was completed; The consecration took place in 1892 . The parish has had the right to choose its pastor since 1820.
From the district of Hagen, a city district of Hagen and a district of Schwelm and Hagen emerged as part of a division in 1887 . The Boele Office also belonged to the latter, which is based in Eckeseyer Straße. Finally, in 1901, the Boele office in the district of Hagen was dissolved and re-established as an independent office. Fley, Halden, Herbeck, Holthausen and the vestibule, which was also an independent office between 1920 and 1929, also belonged to this office with 7500 inhabitants. The Boeler Amtshaus was built for the new office in 1901, and an extension to the east was added in 1912.
A Catholic school (Goethe School) was also built in 1901, and an extension was added in 1910. The district included the districts of Boelerheide , Helfe, Bathey , Hengstey and Kabel , which belong to the municipality of Boele , as well as the places Fley, Halden , Herbeck , Holthausen and Vorhalle . The latter became an independent administrative district in 1920. In 1905 the Boeler Marktplatz was laid out, which extends over an area of 1.63 hectares. Next to the hospital, a bathing establishment was built by the parish in 1925 at the request of the pastor at the time, to which a laundry was attached. On August 1, 1929, the communities Boele and Vorhalle were incorporated into the city of Hagen.
During the last weeks of the Second World War , on March 15, 1945, the Protestant church as well as the school, parish and rectory of Boele were destroyed in a bomb attack. The reconstruction of the Philipp-Nikolai-Church was only finished in 1973, 100 years after its consecration. The occupation by American troops took place on April 15, 1945.
In the course of the division of the city of Hagen into five districts in 1975, Boele (consisting of Boele, Boelerheide, Hengstey, Bathey, Kabel and Helfe) with a vestibule, Fley and Garenfeld became part of the northern district, in which around 46,000 inhabitants lived in 1976. On May 29, 1976, the last trip of tram line 7, which opened in 1902 (popularly known as “black seven” and “Vatican Express” - due to the predominantly Catholic inhabitants of Boele in contrast to the rest of the city districts of Hagen) took place, the Hagen via Boele with cable Association. This famous line continued to exist into the new millennium as bus line 7 (later as 507) - however, it was then abolished due to a reorganization of local public transport in Hagen.
Between September 5th and 8th, 2002 Boele celebrated the 750th anniversary.

Culture and sights
Buildings
- House Ruhreck , one of a neo-Gothic style villa made of sandstone blocks (client: Casper Diedrich Killing, wagon manufacturer). The 2-storey building includes two towers of different heights.
- Catholic parish church of St. Johannes-Baptist, built from 1877 to 1889 in the neo-Romanesque style. The surrounding buildings were built after 1877 while maintaining the medieval shape of the square, largely in the style of historicism .
- Haus Elisabeth, located on the Hilgenland with the front facing the market square. Over the course of time, the Elisabeth house experienced a variety of uses: the early building was acquired by the Catholic parish in 1881 and converted into an orphanage for around 30 children. From 1914, after being enlarged, it served as a military boys' school for male cadets between the ages of 10 and 14; in 1920, after being taken over by the Franciscan Order of Salzkotten, it served as living space for senior citizens and as a boarding school for girls, in which around 60 young people worked in the kitchen, household and garden were trained. In 1950 the Catholic parish bought it back and from 1954 onwards the Elisabeth house was used as a home for mentally and physically handicapped children by nuns. But as early as the 1960s, the main building was leased to the city of Hagen, who used it for school purposes. During this time the Boel clubs began to use the house and the outdoor facilities for various celebrations. After the clubs and schools left the building due to age-related defects and from then on held their events in new buildings (e.g. the auditorium of the Fritz-Steinhoff comprehensive school or the meeting center behind the Boel bathing establishment), it was vacant for several years. The architect Karlheinz Meier acquired the building in 1991 to prevent decay and to reactivate the Elisabeth house. This was followed by a thorough renovation and expansion with a new multi-storey building in place of the previous auditorium. Since then, the building has served as a residential and office building. The Hilgenland fairground behind it is owned by the Catholic Church. Parish and is regularly used as a venue for celebrations.

Wiehl on April 10, 1901, the building was ready for occupancy on October 15 of the same year. Four companies from Boele were involved in the swift completion.
- Cenotaph, built in 1927 in honor of the 296 men who fell from the municipality of Boele in the First World War .
