history

Felbecke was first mentioned in a document in 1284 under the name Veltbicke. On February 3, 1284, a dean Heinrich zu Wormbach bought a farm in Veltbike from a Hermann von Veltbike. The abbot of the monastery Grafschaft Gottfried von Bilstein confirmed this purchase in a document and settled a dispute with the seller's nephews, brothers Konrad and Heinrich. In 1446 and 1515 it was called Velbeke and Velbecke, since then it was called Felbecke. In 1446 a Hans von Velbeke witnessed a transfer of ownership from nobleman Kraft von Grafschaft to Volmeken von Heiminghausen. In 1515, the Grafschaft monastery received a tithe in Felbecke for five shillings, later a royal thaler. In 1516 a Gese von Velbecke handed over their property to their children. The place Velbeke was mapped on the map Westphalia Ducatus in 1645 . In the period from 1680 to 1762 the Thing or Gogericht of the state of Fredeburg took place in Felbecke on Cors Hof, under Gogerbe Johannes Reitz and his successors. In 1938, 177 people lived in Felbecke.

Until the municipal reorganization in North Rhine-Westphalia, Felbecke belonged to the municipality of Wormbach in the so-called Hawerland. Felbecke has been part of the town of Schmallenberg since January 1st, 1975.

religion

Like the whole of the Sauerland, the place is Catholic. A St. Georg chapel already existed in Felbecke in 1610. Dechant Hundt had a way of the cross laid out in the chapel in 1877. The new Apollonia Chapel was built in 1971 because the old chapel from the 17th century was in dire need of renovation.
