Eppenhausen is a district of the independent city Hagen in the eastern Ruhr area .

history

The beginnings of Eppenhausen lie in the dark of history, the name of the district suggests that there was a farm here that belonged to an Eppo or Eppinc and was named after him.

Eppenhausen was mentioned for the first time in 1229 as Eppenhusen in the property and income register of the women's convent and later noble women's monastery Herdecke . A knight Goswin von Eppenhausen is documented in old sources from 1271 to 1374, he had his own seal. Around 1400 Count von der Mark had rights in the Eppenhuser brand . After the division of the Westphalian brands in 1450, there was an "Eppenhauser Mark", which included the current districts of Halden , Herbeck , Eppenhausen, Emst and Delstern.

The Eppenhausen peasantry belonged to the county of Mark in the parish and court of Hagen . In the treasure book of Grafschaft Mark from 1486, 12 taxable farm owners (2 from Emst) are named in the Eppenhuser Burschop with a tax between 1 oirt (¼ Gg) and 8 gold gulden .

In 1746 the neighboring town of Eppenhauser Hagen was granted town charter, in 1751 Friedrich the Great dissolved the brands, so that this also meant the end of the Eppenhauser Mark.

In the 1780s, the then District Administrator Freiherr von Hövel auf Herbeck applied to the royal court in Berlin to recognize the "Eppenhauser Brunnen" as medicinal water because of the healing water that emerged there . Even after the rejection, the fountain was touted as a healthy fountain and baths were administered up until the 1870s - especially by the Hohenlimburg widow Bettermann.

In 1814 Eppenhausen received its own post line and a post office, in 1898 Eppenhausen was declared an independent parish, and on August 5, 1900 the first tram line for the new electric tram led from Hohenlimburg to Eppenhausen, whose operation was not stopped until 1975.

On April 1, 1901, the municipality of Eppenhausen was incorporated into the city of Hagen, together with the municipalities of Delstern and Eckesey , whose population rose to 68,402.

present

Today Eppenhausen is part of the Hochschulviertel district (district 103) of the city of Hagen, which at the beginning of 2011 had a population of 12,396 people.
