history

Eckmannshausen is mentioned for the first time around 1300 in a register of the Siegerland by the " Provost of Amöneburg". "Ekkemanshusen" was first mentioned in a document in a register drawn up between 1417 and 1419 on the income of the counts' rentier Siegen.

In 1907 the first aqueduct was built in the village. It led from the "Setzer Berg" to the center of the village to the former chapel school. The line was one kilometer long and cost 4,347 RM . However, the water could only be used by people who lived directly on the pipe. In 1955, Eckmannshausen and Oelgershausen became part of the " Breitenbachtalsperre Water Management Association ". From then on, all families were supplied with water.

A chapel school was built in 1860 and an annex was added in 1927/28. In 1957 the building was also renovated and expanded as a chapel. As early as 1936 it was decided to build a new school because the existing one had become too small, but this could not be realized before and during World War II. So in 1952 construction started. The school was inaugurated on October 3, 1953. In 1968, as a result of the school reform, the children from Herzhausen and Unglinghausen were sent to Eckmannshausen, the school had to be renovated and expanded for this.

Until the local reorganization , the place belonged to the office of Netphen . On January 1, 1969, the previously independent community of Eckmannshausen was dissolved and incorporated into the new large community of Netphen. Since January 2000, the place is a district of Netphen.
