Burbach is a court in Halver in the Märkisches Kreis in the administrative district of Arnsberg in North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).

Location and description

Burbach is located in the west of the Halveraner urban area in the Ennepe valley . The neighboring towns are Osenberg , Oberbuschhausen , Buschhauser Hammer , Niederbuschhausen , Ahe , Hartmecke , Grafweg and Holte .

The place can be reached via a road that branches off the federal road 229 at Niederennepe and connects the villages in the Ennepetal. The Burbach of the same name, which rises near Holte, flows into the Ennepe near Burbach . The 381 meter high Nesselberg is located southwest of the village.

history

Burbach was first mentioned in 1660 and was probably created only a few years earlier as a split from Ahe.

At the latest since the early Middle Ages (according to other information since prehistoric times) an important old road from Wipperfürth to Breckerfeld ran south of Burbach . To the south of the place there is a ring wall on the Bollberg , which, according to excavations (ceramic finds from the 9th century) and recent research, is interpreted as a Franconian expansion and refuge castle to secure this old road.
