Dünnebrett is located in the central Rahmedetal between Lüdenscheid and Altena and has been part of the city of Lüdenscheid and the Märkischer Kreis in North Rhine-Westphalia since 1969 .

The etymology of the name could not yet be determined by the home research.

history

After 1700, Dünnebrett belonged to Oberhunscheid, as well as the Kotten Hellstück as well as two rolls and half of an Osemundhammer in the Rahmedetal. While iron ore was mined on the heights around Hunscheid up to around 1650, the heavy freight had to be transported to the Rahmedetal on a steep, approximately three and a half kilometer long path with horse carts. The ore was smelted there. After the end of the 30-year war, the production in the domestic area was stopped and the iron ore was allowed to come from the Siegerland.

Since 1887, thin board gained a certain local importance when it became a station of the Altenaer Eisenbahn . The nearby August Enders company, founded in 1894, contributed to the growth of the settlement as it already employed 700 people at the beginning of the First World War. Most of them lived in the Rahmedetal , in Dünnebrett, the Rathmecke or in the neighboring area Schulstrasse / Markhahn. Dünnebrett, the Rathmecke and the surrounding area developed into a densely populated place within a few decades.
