In terms of spatial planning, it has the function of a well-developed sub-center . Breckerfeld has been a Hanseatic city since the Middle Ages , which has been officially emphasized in the corresponding name affix since July 24, 2012 .
geography
Breckerfeld is about 17 km south of Hagen . It is the third largest city in terms of area, but the smallest city in the Ennepe-Ruhr district in terms of population . It has a largely rural structure in a hilly landscape ( Devonian hull landscape of the Rhenish Slate Mountains ). The highest point, the Wengeberg , reaches 441 m above sea level. NN and is also the highest point in the Ruhr area . The windward location on the northern edge of the Rhenish Slate Mountains ensures a very cool, rainy climate with annual rainfall of around 1200 mm.
City structure
The city of Breckerfeld is formally divided into two districts:
- Breckerfeld
- Waldbauer (Zurstrasse)
In addition to the centers of these two districts, the community consists of numerous smaller districts, including Berghausen , Brenscheid , Loh , Möcking , Osenberg and Rafflenbeul .

history
The Breckerfeld ridge could already have been settled in antiquity, because in 1989 a Roman statuette of Mars from the 2nd century AD was found in the Windhagen corridor . Some Roman coin finds near Bühren from the 1st to 3rd centuries could also be a clue for smaller Germanic settlements during this time, but it could also just be lost pieces.
At the end of the 12th century, the village of Brecheruuelde was built on the high-altitude trails that were so important in the High Middle Ages at the intersection of the trade routes Dortmund-Frankfurt and Dortmund-Cologne .
The first written mention of the place goes back to the year 1184: The miller Eppechinus from the uicus Brecheruuelde got his arm into the mill wheel gear during maintenance work and was seriously injured. He called on St. Anno (Archbishop Anno II of Cologne 1056-1075) for his intercession and his wounds came together again. Out of gratitude, the healed man made a pilgrimage to Annos' grave in Siegburg , where monks recorded his story in a monastery manuscript.
The place developed quickly as a market, trade and church place. The most important commodity of Breckerfeld was steel , which was extracted from lawn iron stone in the surrounding forests . The many small ore deposits were mined by farmers and forest smiths and smelted in simple racing furnaces . Numerous slag mounds in the surrounding forests that can be dated to the 11th century still show the places where ore was extracted in the coal piles . The steel was then transported from Breckerfeld in wooden barrels to Cologne or elsewhere or (because of the risk of fire) it was processed into knives and daggers in forges outside the city walls .
The city developed rapidly, the previous parish church soon became too small and the construction of a basilica began around 1390 , today the only late Gothic basilica in Westphalia . It was consecrated to James the Elder , as the trade routes were both the way of St. James and the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela . In 1396 Breckerfeld was granted city rights by its sovereign, Count Dietrich II von der Mark , due to its location near the border . The count expected strategic advantages from the as yet unfortified city, as it was on the border with the Duchy of Berg , with whose Duke he was in a permanent feud. Dietrich's successors, the Dukes of Kleve , fortified the city and also granted it the rights to levy slaughter, brewing and meal taxes, as well as customs rights . Breckerfeld became a mint in the early 15th century. In the middle of the 15th century, the steel trade in Breckerfeld was in full bloom, the city became a member of the Hanseatic League and his merchants traveled all over Europe. Their stays in Cologne, Bruges and London can be traced back to the 14th century , in the 15th century they stayed in Lübeck , where a Kort von Breckerfeld 1420 was also mayor, in Riga , Reval , Novgorod or Moscow . Her sons were trained as lawyers and theologians at universities such as Cologne and Rostock .
The so-called "Breckerfelder" was popular and famous. It was probably a short dagger. Not infrequently, these knives were “refined” and high-ranking personalities were worshiped.
In the 16th century the city's economic power waned. In other European countries, too , steel was now produced in a quality similar to that in Breckerfeld, especially the use of hydropower in the river valleys, with which iron and steel could now be processed much cheaper and better elsewhere, brought Breckerfeld to economic decline.
In 1520, 1557, 1628, 1655, 1658, 1711 and 1727 devastating fires also struck the city. In 1719 only 483 citizens and 441 children lived in the city. The last fire was so destructive that the sovereign, Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia, had a general collection carried out on September 8, 1728 to alleviate the misery. But he also had to intervene in other ways: The city's Reformed community had lost its place of worship in the fire. Despite royal orders, the Lutheran congregation refused to make their St. James Church available for shared use. Only the deployment of 264 soldiers forced the rebellious Christians to tolerate. The first authentic view of the city dates back to 1856, penned by the Dortmund draftsman Joseph Lübke. With his drawing, the artist had also provided a (distant) view of the windmill built in 1812 for the first time. The looms, which briefly established a small textile industry in the middle of the 18th century, could no longer give the town's economic power any impetus.
As part of the extensive municipal reorganization under the French satellite state of the Grand Duchy of Berg , the parish of Breckerfeld was divided into the two municipalities of the city of Breckerfeld and the district of Breckerfeld in 1808. Prussia took over this structure from 1816, so that the township of Breckerfeld and the rural community of Breckerfeld were both independent communities in the district of Hagen in the 19th century . The rural community Breckerfeld together with the rural communities Dahl and Waldbauer formed the Breckerfeld office .
In 1895, the following residential areas belonged to the municipality of Breckerfeld (original spelling): Core town Breckerfeld, Breloh , Drehe , Ecklöh , Epscheid , In der Epscheid , Knapp , Königsheide , Landwehr , Neuenhaus , Ober Bühren , Pulvermühle , Priorei , Reckhammer , Sonnenschein , Vogelsruthe and Wengeberg .
The rural community Breckerfeld included the living spaces (original spelling): Altenbreckerfeld , Altenfelde , Am Neuenhaus , Am Rohlande , Berghausen , Brandten , Brauck , Bossel , Brenscheid , Bühren , Dahlerbrücke , Delle , Dörnen , Ebbinghausen , Ehringhausen , Eicken , Epscheid , Finkenberge , Finkenbergermühle , Fischersheide , Frettlöh , Funkenhaus , Glör , Groll , Habauck , Hammachersheide , Handweiser , Haschenschlage , Hasenkehr , Heide , Holand , Holle , Holthausen , Hüsmecke , Huxard , Im Dahl , Im Schlüchtern , Kamp , Klevinghausen , Klütingsbecke , Königsheide , Kotten , Krägeloh , claws Heide , Kückelshausen , long Scheid , Lausberg , Lehmenhause , Loh , Lorenz Heide , mill, Neuenloh ( Oberneuenloh and Niederneuenloh ) Niedernheede , Obernheede , Peyinghausen , Rohland , Ruggenfeld , Saale , Schaff country , turnpike , stroke , Schlatzenbecke , cutting mill, Siepen , Steinbach , Steupingen , sticks (= Bührener school ), fulling mill , Wanscheid , White horse , Weuste , W indhagen and Wittenstein .
A trade that was hardly noticed because of its short life span emerged in the 19th century: the watchmaking trade. Longcase clocks were built by the watchmakers Schmirnbach and Flüß.
The mood in Breckerfeld was apparently so bad at the end of the 19th century that in 1896 the 500th anniversary celebration was even canceled. The city's development fell short of expectations, not least because Breckerfeld was not connected to the railway network. The “ stagecoach era ” only came to an end in 1907, when the Haspe – Voerde railway was extended to Breckerfeld.
The rural community of Breckerfeld was combined with the town of Breckerfeld in 1899 to form the expanded town of Breckerfeld.
On January 1, 1970, the formerly independent municipality of Dahl was incorporated into the city of Breckerfeld - also known as Breckerfeld 2 . In the course of the municipal reorganization in North Rhine-Westphalia, especially during the deliberations on the Sauerland-Paderborn law , it was discussed whether Breckerfeld should be incorporated into the neighboring city of Hagen . Considerable resistance from the population arose in Breckerfeld, which manifested itself in a demonstration on September 7, 1974 by around 1,000 Breckerfeld citizens in downtown Hagen. The state parliament finally decided only to convert the district of Dahl, which was connected to Breckerfeld in 1970, to the city of Hagen with effect from January 1, 1975.
On January 1, 1975, the community of Waldbauer, today Zurstraße, was incorporated. In the last few decades the city has seen an upward trend. In the mid-1960s, not only was an industrial and commercial area designated north of the city center, the number of residents rose steadily and extensive new residential areas were created south of the city.

According to dendrological studies, its origin is dated around 1510. Only female saints are on the altar wings. There are six of them - three in a row - in the left and right wings of the three-part altar. In this way they surround the Mother of God, who holds the baby Jesus in her arms. Mary is framed by the only male saints in this group: Saint James on the left and Saint Christopher on the right. The altar foot carries the three altar parts and shows the Lord's Supper and the washing of the feet by Peter.
