Ehringhausen is a district of the Westphalian town of Halver in the Märkisches Kreis with about 1000 inhabitants.

Location and description

The original street village is east of Halver on the state road 892, which runs up the mountain from Oberbrugge to the core town of Halver. In the last few years new development areas have emerged on both sides of the street. Other neighboring towns are Pottheinrich , Mittelherweg , Herweger Schleifkotten and Dahlhausen .

After the Wuppertal Railway was shut down , there is now a bus line in public transport that connects Halver via Ehringhausen, Oberbrügge, Bruges to Lüdenscheid .

history

Ehringhausen was first mentioned in a document in the years 900 and 1130, but the origin of the settlement ( -inghausen -form) is assumed to be between 500 and 550 as a result of the first Saxon conquest. Ehringhausen is one of the oldest settlements in Halver.

To the north of Ehringhausen an important old road led from Cologne via Wipperfürth , Halver, Lüdenscheid , Werdohl and Arnsberg to Soest , a medieval (according to other views prehistoric ) trade , pilgrimage and military route .

In 1818 53 people lived in the village. In 1838 Ehringhausen belonged as a titular place to the Ehringhauser peasantry within the mayor's office of Halver . The place, categorized as a village according to the location and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg , had a school, 13 residential buildings, a factory or mill and 19 agricultural buildings at that time. At that time 110 inhabitants lived in the place, all of them Protestant faith.

The community encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 202 inhabitants who lived in 25 houses.

The place had a train station on the Wuppertal Railway, which led from Lennep or Oberbarmen via Radevormwald to Oberbrügge and was opened in this section on June 30, 1910. Passenger traffic was stopped on May 30, 1964, and freight traffic was also closed on July 31, 1995. The railway line is now in this section as the Schleifkottenbahn owned by Schleifkottenbahn GmbH , which intends to introduce innovative freight transport here in the future and possibly (also in cooperation with other railway companies) to reintroduce passenger transport in the long term. The edge of the platform is still preserved from the former train station.
