history

Dhün was about 300 m west of Plätzmühle at the inlet of a brook coming down from Neschen into the Dhünn and belonged to the municipality of Odenthal. For hundreds of years it was the seat of an Altenberg court.

A tax list from 1586 shows that the village was part of the Breidbach community in the Odenthal parish.

This gave the hamlet an important position in its surroundings. There were five houses here, one on the south and four on the north side of the street. It was said that the place had the "smallest and cutest" half-timbered houses in the valley.
