coat of arms

The coat of arms shows in the upper part the three wolf fishing rods of the Lords of Brabeck as a symbol of the office of Hemer. In the lower silver part there are three buffalo ears around a golden ball, the symbol of the Romberg family who owned the Frönsberg estate in the 18th century. The coat of arms was awarded on July 17, 1939 and expired with the incorporation of Frönsberg in 1975.

House Frönsberg

South of the center of Frönsberg is the LWL-Klinik Hemer , a psychiatric specialist clinic named after the Hemeran psychiatrist Hans Prinzhorn . The "Haus Frönsberg", which is referred to as "Vromersbert" in documents from that time, has been located on the clinic premises since the Middle Ages. The building complex was only a freehold of the house Mark and went in 1485 in the possession of Johann von Wrede, who even in Amecke lived. The estate remained in the possession of the Wrede family until 1755, but the central residential building fell into disrepair over the centuries. In the first half of the 18th century the estate had passed to the von Romberg family, who rebuilt the house in 1755.

After a few more changes of ownership, the Allgemeine Ortskrankenkasse Dortmund had been the owner of the estate since 1914, on which it set up the “Frönspert convalescent home”. In 1933 the building was confiscated by the German Labor Front and operated as the NSBO recovery center Westphalia-South. From 1950 the AOK was again the owner. Since 1965 the facility has belonged to the Westphalia-Lippe Regional Association , which expanded it into a specialist clinic for psychiatry. The historic Frönsberg house fell into disrepair after the Second World War and was demolished in 1971.
