history

The place Drewer near Rüthen is mentioned in writing for the first time without any doubt in the document concordances of Archbishop Heinrich I of Cologne and Abbot Hermann von Corvey from August 1230. According to the status of scientific research on place names from 2009, the place name Drewer, which occurs more frequently in the greater Westphalia area, relates with a high degree of probability to the location of these places on bodies of water. From Drewer near Rüthen the Große Dümecke, the source of which is known and visible as Born in the center of the village , flows into the Möhne . When interpreting the place name is “based on the in mnd. drif testified to the meaning of 'driving force, current' to think of a 'point with current', a designation that would have referred to the Große Dümecke. [...] For Drewer, a possible interpretation is 'place with current' or a water body name that can be described as 'the flowing'. "

Since 1536 Drewer belonged to the Gogericht Rüthen in the Electoral Cologne Duchy of Westphalia. In the 1590s, Drewer was hit by the witch hunt at the time . In 1732 the Drewer shooting club was founded. In 1737 a chapel was built in honor of St. Hubertus . In 1802 the Duchy of Westphalia was annexed to Hessen-Darmstadt. The geographic areas were dissolved and in 1811 the Drewer district was created. In 1815 Drewer came to the Kingdom of Prussia and in 1816 to the Lippstadt district. In 1826 the community of Drewer arose from this and was subordinate to the mayor of Rüthen. In 1837 the mayor's office of Rüthen dissolved and Drewer came to the office of Altenrüthen. In 1937 this was renamed “Amt Rüthen”. In the years 1936-38 the chapel was expanded to the north to a church in the shape of a basilica. In 1966 the church in Drewer received a new organ. The shooting hall was inaugurated in 1974. On January 1, 1975, with the regional reform (municipal reorganization), the municipality of Drewer was incorporated into the city of Rüthen. At that time, the village expanded to include two new development areas in the north to the Haarstrang and in the east "Am Wiggestät", which is also reflected in the increase in the number of inhabitants. In 1996/97, the shooting range was expanded to include a common room. In 1997 an extensive interior renovation of the church took place, with the old part of the old Hubertus Church being restored and old frescoes (from 1912?) Under the three round arches of the two-bay star vault exposed again. The gold-colored baroque altar was moved to the newly renovated church in 1998.

Economy and Infrastructure

economy

In a tunnel near Drewer - called "Vollands Knapp" - smaller amounts of coal were mined. It served the local blacksmith as fuel. In the 19th century, quartz stone was mined for road construction in two quarries outside the village. For many years there was a dairy in the town center, the building of which later served as a special screw factory. At the end of the fifties, the farming cooperative built a large farm building.

In the course of structural changes in the rural area, the place lost elementary school, post office and financial institution. The agricultural cooperative merged and, like the factory, relocated to an industrial park. The farm building was demolished and building sites were created. The only remaining grocery store closed. Drewer is currently a place dominated by agriculture , although of the large number of actively managed farms (until the early 1980s) only a few large farms still work. Numerous arable land in the field corridor on Haarstrang are now locations for wind turbines for energy generation and belong to NRW's largest wind farm . In the course of time, new companies have settled in the halls of the special screw factory, so there is now a transport and container service as well as an event service in the buildings.

education

Drewer owned a village school next to the (Catholic) St. Hubertus Church. Later a primary school with a catchment area of ​​the surrounding villages Effeln (until 1975) Menzel and Altenrüthen . The school was closed at the end of the 2005/2006 school year due to the steady decline in the number of pupils due to demographic change.
