history

Grafweg was first mentioned in a document in 1410, but the time of origin of the settlement is assumed to be between 1050 and 1200 as a result of the clearing phase after the high medieval territorial formation. Grafweg was a Unterhof of Stieneichhofen.

Around 1500 it is documented by documents that the Grafweg farm was subject to tax in the Bergisches Amt Beyenburg . The jurisdiction of the court was subordinate to a Bergisch judge specially appointed for the Bergische Höfe in the otherwise Brandenburg- dominated parish of Halver, which often led to a dispute with the Brandenburg count actually responsible for the parish .

In 1818 ten residents lived in the village. In 1838 Grafweg belonged to the Eickhöfer peasantry within the Halver mayor . The place, which was categorized as a courtyard according to the location and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg , had two houses, two factories or mills and an agricultural building at that time. At that time, 14 residents lived in the village, all of whom were Protestant.

The municipality encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of eight residents who lived in two houses.

At the latest since the early Middle Ages (according to other sources since prehistoric times) an important old road from Wipperfürth to Breckerfeld ran east of Grafweg . To the east of the place there is a ring wall on the Bollberg , which, according to excavations (ceramic finds from the 9th century) and recent research, is interpreted as a Franconian expansion and refuge castle to secure this old road.

To the west of Grafweg, the Bundeswehr's Wuppertal site ammunition defeat was located on the city limits of Radevormwald until 2002 .
