Centrally located farm

Elsperhusen is a district of Lennestadt .

In a narrow side valley of the Bremkebach north-east of the villages of Oberelspe and Altenvalbert , in a valley head below the Primeken head (519 m above sea level ), the village of Elsperhusen is located on the border with the municipality of Finnentrop . It consists of a courtyard and a “back house” . The small town can only be reached via Altenvalbert's city street.

The establishment of Elsperhusen seems closely linked to the history of the farms in Wiebelhausen . From the fact that from 1536 onwards Wiebelhausen was no longer named for two, but only one farm, according to the knowledge of the historian Willi Voss, it can be concluded that Henneke Wevel may have merged both farms, whereby he was responsible for the heirs or ward who gave way created a replacement farm in Alkenhusen, later called Elsperhusen. The first farmer on the new farm in the Alkenhusen was Rotger in den Husen, who was followed around 1580 by his son Henrich and Peter, the son of his brother Henrich. Soon after 1600 this family called itself the Schulte and then changed their name very often over the centuries as a result of marriage.

The first Prussian census of buildings and inhabitants from 1817 gives Elsperhusen 20 people in two houses.

According to a description by the Elsper pastor Franz Kayser in the church chronicle of the parish of Elspe, Husen (Elsperhusen) was around 1823 “a place of 2 inmates, a sitter, 4 families and 22 souls; it lies northeast ½ hour from Elspe in a valley surrounded by mountains. The area is unfriendly, the soil is loamy and sandy ”.

In 1983 only seven people lived in Elsperhusen and Elsmecke.

Elsperhusen formerly belonged to the parish Elspe from which it for October 1, 1952 abgepfarrt was and since then the congregation upper Elspe belongs. Today Elsperhusen is part of the Elspe-Oenetal parish association .

Along with Elsmecke, Einsiedelei and Haus Hilmeke, Elsperhusen is one of the four smallest districts of Lennestadt, each with less than ten inhabitants. Four people lived there at the end of June 2020.

Until June 30, 1969 Elsperhusen belonged to the municipality of Elspe, then on July 1, 1969 it was incorporated into the new town of Lennestadt.
