geography

Geographical location

Emlinghausen is located in the southern mountains of the Rhenish Slate Mountains. It belongs to the so-called Bilsteiner Bergland in the Olper Land area. The location belongs to the western foothills of the Rothaargebirge. The hamlet is located in the valley of the Flape, which comes from the southwest and here still called "Wirmebach" meets the place and flows into the Hundem in Kirchhundem. The place is surrounded by the 616 m high Stüvelhagen in the east-northeast, the 596 m high Ellenborn in the south-east, the 495 m high Kohlhagen in the south, a 543 m high mountain in the west and the 484 m in official maps high Katzenstein in the northeast.

history

The date of the first documentary mention of Emlinghausen is controversial among experts. Horst Conrad sees the mention of the village in a tithing register of the Rump family from 1279 as the oldest written evidence of the village. Günther Becker and Werner Wickel also hold this view. Johannes Bauermann, on the other hand, mentions “Amelinchusen” in the deed of foundation of the Grafschaft monastery from 1072 here. Michael Flöer apparently shares this view, because other mentions in the Grafschafter archive speak for Emlinghausen. Regardless of these differing views, it should be clear that the actual age of the village is significantly higher. According to Albert K. Hömberg , places with the ending "inghausen" in the place name could be founded between 850 and 950 AD. With Bettinghof (Bettinghausen), Böminghausen and Würdinghausen , Emlinghausen is one of the places of a second settlement period that formed like a wreath around the older Flape / Hundem settlement area. Michael Flöer interprets the place name as "near the houses of the people of Amilo". Originally probably a farm, the Schwermer, Hermes and Stamm farms were formed by the middle of the 16th century at the latest. The residence of the court Hermes was cremated twice due to war events, namely on June 16, 1635 by Hessian mercenaries of the Count of Nassau-Dillenburg than this on the retreat of House Valbert after the assassination of living there colonels Timan Dietrich von Linteloe were . The second event took place in 1945 when American troops marched in.

A ring rampart south of the village on the road to Kohlhagen, which is no longer fully preserved, indicates a small castle complex. In the map of the Heidschotter Jagd from 1743 this place is called "Borghoff". The map also states that the hunter's house used to stand here. In a "Lexiccon Schnellenbergo Furstenbergicum" started by the Fürstenberg rentmaster Johann Baptist Molitor, the place is described as a free aristocratic place.

Early clues about the size of the place can be found in an appraisal register (used to collect taxes) for the year 1543. According to this, there were 4 persons subject to appraisals in “Emmelinhaußen” (by far the highest taxes were due to Johann Schermmer and Anna Stambs); this number could have coincided with the farms or houses existing at the time.

Religions

Due to the fact that it was part of the Electoral Cologne Duchy of Westphalia for centuries, the population structure of the place is still predominantly Roman Catholic. Of the 25 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2014), 15 are Roman Catholic, 7 Protestant and 1 free church. No information is available on others. Until 1655 Emlinghausen belonged to the Catholic parish of Kirchhundem and then came to the parish of Kohlhagen, which was separated from it.

Incorporations

From 1843/44 Emlinghausen was a town in the political municipality of Kohlhagen in the Kirchhundem office. On July 1, 1969, the place became part of today's Kirchhundem community.

Population development

While Emlinghausen only had 35 inhabitants at the time of the municipal reorganization on July 1, 1969, the number rose significantly in the following years: 1974 = 47, 1978 = 48. This level could not be maintained later, however. In 1985 41 people lived here and in 1990 43 people. Since then, the population has fallen sharply, to 25 in 2014.
