history

Prehistory and early history

A village from the Iron Age has been excavated in Fröndenberg- Dellwig on Unnaer Strasse since 2015 . Traces of house posts, rubbish pits and urn graves with corpse burns from the period between 800 BC were found on the 10 hectare area intended for an industrial park. Chr. And the turning point.

Modern mining in Fröndenberg

The oldest excavations for coal are dated to 1575. The tunnels did not begin until the 18th century, when the Scheda monastery had Siepen mined in Strickherdicker for six years .

From 1820 to 1847, the Frohe Sicht mine used the same tunnel and had others built. After the Second World War, due to the shortage of coal , coal was mined again using a sloping shaft under the old tunnels. In 1953 the mine was finally shut down after an accident with one dead and several people buried.

There was also the Zum wilden Mann colliery in Fröndenberg in the valley of the Vossacker stream , which probably mined coal until 1857. However, the coal reserves were comparatively small, so that the tunnels were quickly closed.

A hiking trail of the geotopes opens up the localities. The early mining in Fröndenberg, the chain forging museum there , the Langschede run-of-river power station and the nearby Halingen / Fröndenberg waterworks in Menden are among the themed routes on the Route of Industrial Culture .

Möhne disaster in May 1943

Due to the destruction of the Möhne dam in the night of May 16-17, 1943, large masses of water flowed from the reservoir into the Möhne and thus also through the Ruhr valley near Fröndenberg, which is about 20 km downstream under the dam. The tidal wave reached the city in the outermost parts of the town about two hours after the dam was destroyed at around 2:45 a.m. On today's Bahnhofstrasse, the water was about 1.80 m high at the peak of the tidal wave on May 17th at around 4 a.m. The road and railway bridges over the Ruhr were destroyed by the water. The old Ruhr bridge in Langschede, which had meanwhile been replaced by a new building, withstood the pressure except for some damage. In the station, locomotives and wagons were derailed, pushed together and sometimes lay on their side. In Dellwig the cow bridge gave way under the load. Eleven houses in the urban area were completely destroyed, another 200 seriously or slightly damaged. In the two large factories UNION and Himmelmann, operations were suspended for 18 and 90 days respectively. On July 1st, a temporary bridge for rail traffic between Fröndenberg and Menden was opened, the neighboring road bridge on August 18th. 36 residents of the city died as a result of the tidal wave.

Today only a gauge mark on a residential building not far from the new senior citizens' center in Karl-Wildschütz-Straße and the only single-track rebuilt railway bridge remind of the Möhne disaster.

Recent city history

At the beginning of the 1980s, the appearance of the town center of Fröndenberg differed significantly from its current appearance. Fröndenberg benefited from the three divisions chain industry, paper industry and the production of bicycle parts. In particular, these were the companies UNION (chains and bicycle parts) and Weig-Himmelmann (paper industry), which for decades shaped the city's silhouette, job offer and image.

UNION was founded in 1899 as Wilhelm Feuerhake & Co. She benefited from the rise of the bicycle as a cheap, convenient, and fast means of transportation. For this purpose, spokes, nipples and pedals were produced here . The company was located in an area between today's market square and Von-Tirpitz-Straße. At the end of the 1970s there was not enough space to expand, which is why it was decided to move a few kilometers further west to the site of the former Atlantic rubber factory on Ardeyer Strasse. The building of the factory in the city center was blown up in 1981 and the area, which had meanwhile been designated as a redevelopment area, was finally built over with today's residential and business district as well as spacious parking spaces. At the same time, in 1991, the bypass was completed by means of the throw at the train station, thus remedying the problems with traffic in the Alleestraße area and the former level crossing (which is still preserved today as a pedestrian crossing). The UNION company was closed in 1994.

On the other side of the railway, the Himmelmann paper mill was built on the banks of the Ruhr in 1854. It was the city's second major employer after UNION and was closed in 1982 after a company takeover. The factory buildings stood on the Himmelmann site for ten years. In 1992 parts of the factory were blown up in the course of shooting the film Schtonk , u. a. with Götz George . This area was then also leveled. After initial planning for an amusement park, a freely accessible landscape park was finally realized. The former straw warehouse of the Himmelmann factory became the chain forge museum in Fröndenberg and the cultural forge event center . Parts of the walls without a roof form the so-called forum. The most striking object is the 14-meter high high-performance funnel trap ("Fröndenberger funnel"), which has been preserved as an industrial relic and was renovated and signed by Markus Lüpertz . At the end of 2010, the Ruhrufer landscape park was renamed Himmelmannpark based on the factory name. Since then, blue steel steles in the shape of an F (for “Fröndenberg”) have stood at the entrances . 2011 was close to the weir of the so-called Ruhr Ruhr balcony officially opened, which extends in the shape of a ship as a viewing platform a few meters above the Ruhr.

Administrative history

On April 1, 1902, the community Fröndenberg was formed from the previous communities of Dorf Fröndenberg , Stift Fröndenberg and Westick near Fröndenberg . It belonged to the Hamm district and on October 17, 1930, it moved to the Unna district that was now formed from the old Hamm district . Fröndenberg has been a town since October 28, 1952. On January 1, 1968 Altendorf, Bausenhagen, Frohnhausen, Frömern, Langschede, Neimen, Ostbüren, Stentrop, Strickherdicke and Warmen were incorporated. Part of the former Bentrop community was added on July 1, 1969. Since January 1, 1975, Fröndenberg has belonged to the Unna district, which has completely changed in extent.

Art in public space

The city of Fröndenberg has been represented in the Hellweg - ein Lichtweg cultural project since 2002 . This enabled a light-acoustic sculpture by the artist Tilman Küntzel called Lighting Blue (s) to be realized in the city center in 2005 , which projects a video of the bubbling Ruhr water - accompanied by corresponding noises - onto a glass plate from below. It was damaged right before the opening, but is still in operation in the summer half of the year and can be viewed.

A second artistically designed fountain is located in Hindenburghain in the Westick district. A large sundial was painted on the concrete shell of the decommissioned fountain. To read the time, the person has to step into the fountain interactively. B. to act as a shadow thrower with an extended arm. The dilapidated condition of the well has already been the subject of public debates several times, but according to various statements it is intended to be.

The sculpture "Winnie" by the artist Peter Trautner has also stood on the Ruhr cycle path in Westick since 2009 .

Baths

There are two outdoor pools in Fröndenberg. The Löhnbad is located north of the city center and was renovated in 1999. The second outdoor pool is in Dellwig. Both pools are operated by the Fröndenberg / Ruhr municipal utility. In February 2011, the Fröndenberg municipal utilities announced that they would no longer operate the outdoor pool in the Dellwig district from the 2011 season for economic reasons. As a result, an action alliance was founded to preserve the open-air swimming pool in the Dellwig district. In addition to the outdoor pools, there are two teaching pools in Fröndenberg, one in the Overberg school and one in the Sonnenberg school in Langschede.

Sports

In terms of sport, Fröndenberg does not only appear through good sporting performances such as that of Vice World Champion Erik Zabel : The owl (mountain) , a 1200 m long, on average 7.7% steep mountain, is notorious in cycling circles as a sporting challenge. For many years, the owl formed the decisive cliff in the high-ranking road bike race "Around Dortmund" until the 1990s. In 1999, the cycling professionals rode the "owl" on the Germany tour. This event was repeated on August 2nd, 2006 and June 24th, 2008. During the 2008 event, the "owl" was also part of the 15th Police National Championship in cycling.

There are six noteworthy (cycle) hiking trails within the urban area of ​​Fröndenberg. The best known is the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path , which runs from the source of the Ruhr in Winterberg to its confluence with the Rhine near Duisburg . It first crosses Neimen and Westick, changes the banks of the Ruhr for a few kilometers and reaches the city of Menden (Sauerland) . Another crossing of the Ruhr takes place at Langschede. From there, the cycle path continues parallel to the railway line towards Schwerte . Fröndenberg is roughly in the middle of the path.

The second major route is the Westphalia hiking trail from Hattingen to Altenbeken, which crosses the districts of Frömern, Hohenheide, Stentrop and Bausenhagen. Another long - distance cycle route is the 480-kilometer Kaiser route , which Fröndenberg, coming from Aachen, crosses in Altendorf, Dellwig, Ardey, the city center and Neimen in the direction of Paderborn.

With the Zabel route, a training circuit for the Fröndenberg cyclist was shown. It runs from the town hall Fröndenberg through Westick and along the Ruhr to Wickede with an alternative route via Gut Scheda ("family round without mountain classification") and then back to the starting point in the urban area of ​​Menden.

There are also two other noteworthy shorter hiking trails: One is the Geotope hiking trail, a circular hiking trail from the Ardey train station via Kessebüren, Frömern and the golf course, which deals with geological and topographical features. The mines of the early mining industry on Thabrauck and the Wilder Mann mine, boulders and a quarry are considered.

The meditation path between the Stentrop oasis and the Bausenhagen village church is a little shorter. At the edge of this path, so-called “views” invite you to pause and meditate.

The city also has two 18-hole golf courses .
