The church in Flierich

Flierich is a village in the southeastern area of the municipality of Bönen and belongs to the Unna district. It is located south of Hamm , the hamlet of Hamm-Kump, and is located in the upper valley of the Seseke river, which drains to the Lippe near Lünen via Kamen . The name Flierich can be interpreted either as a "lilac hedge" or as a "settlement on the heights next to the marshy brook".

In addition to the old church Bönen , the place is probably the oldest part of the municipality Bönen; 850 it is mentioned in a manuscript as "villa Flethriki". After Flierich was part of the County of Mark, the place became part of the Rhynern office in the time after the French rule in Westphalia . During the regional reform, Flierich was incorporated into Bönen on January 1, 1968.

The village image is shaped by the building ensemble of the Evangelical Church from the late 12th century and the half-timbered houses on the church square.
