history

In the parish of Eckenhagen there existed until the beginning of the 19th century, when the legal differences between knight, saddle and farm property were completely eliminated, 6 saddle goods, u. a. Alp. This comprised "10 Aggerhöfe", in addition to Dorn , Oberalpe and Niederalpe, Hunsheim, Berghausen, Ohlhagen, Fahrenberg, Seifen, Merkausen, Allinghausen, and Allenbach.

The documents of the Alper Bürger Club indicate that stately stone buildings rose around a well-fortified keep, where otherwise the villages were only characterized by low half-timbered houses. Both places (“In der Olpe” and “In der nider Olpe”) are referred to as “ a castle and Adelicher seß (seat)”.

The book "Eckenhagen and Denklingen in the Changing Times" shows that there was a Peter von Heydt, known as Hüngerkausen, who lived in Niederalpe around the middle of the 16th century. In 1560 he married a non-aristocratic woman, Gertrud from Ohlhagen. The marriage resulted in 5 children. He sat down shortly before his death a memorial by the 10 Agger courts the "house to the mandrel together with the garden behind it, alloyed to the glory of God before one Kapell and schoolhouse and also fifty Rthlr." Gave. The execution of the will took place on October 9, 1622 by the brother Johann. For more details see also: Church or School.

The "Eigen von Eckenhagen" reported in 1575 consisted of 2 church or parish villages, 83 hamlets and 18 individual farms. The latter have become hamlets over time, including Dorn, while others have disappeared.

Of all the pledged goods and land the treasure or the compulsory deduction from the tax was originally from the Bede distinguished or voluntary tax, levied. According to the waiter's bills from 1749, it was the task of the Honschaften in Eigen von Eckenhagen to collect the taxes in the 105 localities for the Windeck office. Hunsheim was one of 7 honors in the parish of Eckenhagen, also responsible for Dorn.
