history

Frohnhausen is mentioned for the first time as "Vrodenhusen" in 1142 in connection with the founding of the Gehrden monastery and has belonged to the secular rule of the German diocese of Paderborn , originally in the duchy of Saxony , since its foundation . "Vrodenhusen" probably has the old Saxon meaning "Frühhausen", which suggests that it was built early. This is also supported by the excavations in which graves from the 8th century were found in the field .

From the 14th century, the territory of the Princes' Diocese of Paderborn ( Hochstift ) was formed in the Holy Roman Empire . From the 16th century the imperial territory belonged to the Lower Rhine-Westphalian imperial circle .

Frohnhausen was in the Dringenberg Rent Office in the Oberamt of the same name ( Oberwald district ).

In 1802/03 the bishopric was occupied by the Kingdom of Prussia . In 1807 Frohnhausen becomes part of the canton of Gehrden in the Kingdom of Westphalia founded by Napoleon . In 1815 Frohnhausen finally belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia, in 1816 Frohnhausen became part of the Gehrden office . From 1871 it was part of the German Empire . 1945–1949 the place was part of the British occupation zone , from 1946 state ruled by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and from 1949 also by the Federal Republic of Germany .

After its merger with the Dringenberg Office , Frohnhausen becomes a municipality in the Dringenberg-Gehrden Office . With the dissolution of the Warburg district and the Dringenberg-Gehrden district with effect from January 1, 1975 by the Sauerland / Paderborn law , Frohnhausen is incorporated into the town of Brakel.

Until the 20th century, Frohnhausen was a purely agricultural settlement, with the surrounding fields belonging to various noble houses and monasteries.

The village today

The village , which used to be mainly agricultural, has now become an almost purely residential community, because today agriculture has almost completely disappeared from the village, apart from a few large farms. Other jobs are virtually non-existent in the village, so that the working population has to go to work outside. In addition, there are no more banks and shops on site. Frohnhausen today has 303 inhabitants.

Frohnhausen belongs to the city district "Auenhausen-Frohnhausen-Hampenhausen".
