geography

Local division

The former municipality of Brockhausen was in the east of the office of Hemer and consisted of the settlements Apricke , Bäingsen , Brockhausen, Hönnetal and Riemke as well as the former manor Burg Klusenstein .

history

As a border town between the county of Mark and the Sauerland in the Electorate of Cologne, the later municipality of Brockhausen was already significant in the Middle Ages. For this reason, Klusenstein Castle was built on a cliff in the Hönnetal in 1353 .

At the beginning of the 20th century the community was strongly characterized by agriculture. Together with the neighboring community of Deilinghofen, the “climatic health resort” was a popular destination for miners from the Ruhr area, and the neighboring Hönnetal was also popular with tourists. As part of the municipal reorganization in Prussia, the municipality lost its independence on April 1, 1929 and was merged with Deilinghofen. The neighboring parishes were already closely linked to one another through a common school district, the parish and other institutions shared by the two parishes.

Brockhausen has been part of the town of Hemer since the municipal reorganization that came into force on January 1, 1975.

Attractions

Fairytale Forest Brockhausen (2010)

In addition to Klusenstein Castle and the Hönnetal, the fairytale forest was a popular destination in Brockhausen. Parts of the Bäingsen estate have been a listed building since 1984 .

Until 2005 a 600 year old oak dominated the village. The so-called "twelve-man oak" was under nature protection between 1932 and 1995, but in 2005 the tree, which had been infected by a disease, had to be felled for safety reasons.
