The formerly independent city of Bremen is a district and the cultural, economic and administrative center of the municipality of Ense in the district of Soest , Arnsberg Region , North Rhine-Westphalia .

history

The name is said to have been brought back by the Saxons who immigrated to the area in the 6th and 7th centuries , and is therefore of Saxon origin. There is also evidence of Celtic roots of this name (see Brem-sur-Mer ). The Wallburg , located above the Ruhr in Fürstenberg and used by the residents of the area as a refuge in the 8th century , is evidence of a Saxon settlement.

Bremen was first mentioned in a document from 1081 to 1089 in the course of the incorporation of the parish church, which still exists today, into St. George's monastery in Cologne, carried out by Archbishop Sigewin of Cologne . During the Truchsessian War , Martin Schenk von Nideggen was wounded in the buttocks in a battle on the Haar on March 2, 1586 by a musket ball, the so-called Arnsberger Meisterschuss.

With Christianization, Bremen became the ecclesiastical and administrative center for the surrounding villages. The parish of Bremen, which formerly belonged to the County of Arnsberg , fell in 1368 through purchase and donation to the Electorate of Cologne , became part of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt in 1803 and was Prussian from 1815. In 1890 it was detached from the Körbecke office formed in 1816 along with a few other villages and formed the new Bremen office with them .

Bremen was incorporated into the new municipality of Ense on July 1, 1969 .

Today Bremen, with its town center, which was renovated until 1985, is the center of the municipality of Ense. The parish church of St. Lambertus is a building that characterizes the townscape . In a traffic-calmed area next to the town hall, which was built in 1983, there are retail stores and craft businesses as well as banks, doctors and a pharmacy. There is also the youth home, which is the meeting point for young people from Bremen, Ruhne and Parsit.
