history

Egen is mentioned in a document in the treasury of the county of Mark from 1486. Already in 1687 a part zu Ege and a Heinrich Leckebusch dismantled the coal seam bank on the Egen , which stretched from Hof Unterste Lehn via Egen to Bruch.

Until 1807 Egen belonged to the Gennebreck farmers within the high court and the Schwelm recipe of the Wetter office in the county of Mark . In Egen was the Bauer Place the peasantry Gennebreck, the meeting of the landowners of the peasantry . In addition to farmers, kötter , carters, innkeepers and blacksmiths lived in the village with their families , all of whom were more or less involved in local mining.

In the 19th century, a coal route ran through the village between Sprockhövel and Elberfeld , one of the three main coal routes that led from the Ruhr area into Wuppertal (today the Egen and Bruch roads ).

Egen appears on the Niemeyersche Karte , issue of special map of the mining district of the Blankenstein district , from 1788/89 as a court with seven buildings. The place is recorded on the Prussian first recording from 1840 as Aufm Lehn . From the Prussian new admission of 1892, the place is recorded on the TK25 measurement table as a fief .

From 1807 to 1814, due to the Napoleonic communal reforms in the Grand Duchy of Berg , Egen was part of the rural community of Gennebreck within the newly founded Mairie Hasslinghausen in the arrondissement of Hagen , which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration now became the mayor's office in Haßlinghausen (from 1844 Haßlinghausen ) in the district of Hagen (from 1897 Schwelm district , from 1929 Ennepe-Ruhr district ) belonged.

The place is on the Prussian first recording from 1840 as Auf dem Eggen and from the Prussian new recording from 1892 on the table sheets of the TK25 unlabeled or recorded as Egen.

In 1818 and 1822 36 people lived in the place categorized as Kotten. The place named Auf'm Egen according to the location and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg in 1839 had 16 residential houses and three agricultural buildings at that time, presumably because of the high number of buildings and residents compared to later registers were added. At that time, 210 residents lived in the local area, including one Catholic and 209 Protestant denominations.

The municipality encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia in 1885 then only gives a number of 54 residents for Egen who lived in seven houses. In 1895 the place had seven houses with 58 inhabitants, in 1905 the place had eight houses and 55 inhabitants.

On January 1, 1970 the Haßlinghausen office was dissolved and the rural community Gennebreck and Egen incorporated into the city of Sprockhövel.
