location

Hachen and the associated village of Reigern border the Arnsberg districts of Müschede and Wennigloh in the north and east . In the west, Hachen borders on Enkhausen , in the southwest on Langscheid and in the south on Stemel . Due to its geographically very interesting location between the Arnsberger Wald nature reserve and the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge nature reserve , it is a popular excursion destination. The Sorpesee is located about 3 km from Hachen .

history

War memorial on the mountain height

middle Ages

Hachen was mentioned in a document as early as 793 in the register of properties of the Werden monastery .
The name Hachen is probably a modification of Hagen (hedge), a related Hegge is a strip of forest that serves as a boundary. This place name can also be found more frequently in compound place names in Westphalia . The spelling of the name changed over the centuries (example: Hagnen 793, Hakkene 1000, Hagne in the Middle Ages and many more). The current place name is first handed down in a document from Pope Alexander II from 1173. Hachen was probably a freedom since the beginning of the 14th century, a place with Lippe town charter , but without fortifications and thus had the right to use its own seal, the first known seal is handed down from 1652. The two-part seal shows a cross on the right and a half eagle on the other. The inscription is barely legible. The settlement was not a planned one, but one that had grown gradually; the houses were built around the castle. Outside the area of ​​the castle there were courtyards at wider distances. After the elevation to freedom, the craftsmen had the right to form guilds , the place was allowed to raise tariffs and hold markets. Due to the small number of inhabitants, however, it cannot be assumed that these rights were regularly exercised.

Modern times

Another important part of public life was the joint ownership and use of the mark. The forest provided wood, food for humans and animals and litter. The citizens formed a brand cooperative. All uses were precisely regulated, such as who was allowed to drive what number of cattle into the woods for fattening; the wood judge monitored the amount of logging. The people of this time lived mainly from agriculture, there was almost no industry, but a few wool and linen weavers; their existence is documented since 1717. They probably produced more than could be sold in the village and also delivered their goods to other areas.

In the Duchy of Westphalia , to which Hachen also belonged, confused times began after the Reformation and various wars broke out. Belief in witches increased, probably no one was executed as a witch in Hachen. A heretic is mentioned in a visitation report from 1619. In the 17th and 18th centuries there were repeated minor military attacks and billeting took place. The taxes were so high that some of the citizens were brought to the limit of ruin. The spiritual duchy of Westphalia came to Hessen-Darmstadt in 1803, Hachen was Hessian. Not much changed for the citizens, the magistrate and the mayor remained in office and old obligations and dependencies continued to exist. In 1811 the so-called mayor ordinance came into force, in Hachen a man by the name of Wiebelhaus was appointed mayor, he acted as judge and administrative officer.

The first cadastral maps were drawn up in 1820, and from 1844 minutes of the meetings of the municipal council were kept. This shows that around 1845 the community was one of the most needy. In 1845 the place burned down partially. The connection to the telecommunications network took place around 1890. From 1837 to December 31, 1974, Hachen belonged to the Hüsten office .

First and Second World War

In the First World War 43 citizens of the place died, in their memory a memorial was erected on the castle hill in 1924. In March 1933 the last free municipal election took place, the elected municipality leader Heinrich Potthoff was forced by law to resign from his office. Although he was unanimously re-elected by the local councils, the government did not comply with this request, but on August 4, 1933 Johannes Schwartpaul was introduced to his new office as mayor by the mayor. According to the new municipal constitution law, the highest-ranking SA leader and the highest political leader of the NSDAP should be appointed as municipal councilors in every municipality. The remaining three municipal councils were determined by the Gauleiter. Schwartpaul remained mayor until 1945. After Hitler came to power on January 30, 1933, a torchlight procession took place through the village. In the years to come, marches with people in brown uniforms were held again and again, and there were homeland and so-called victory givers for the young people. On the May holidays the village was adorned with fresh greenery, and Hitler's speeches were heard on people's receivers. At some point, the children of the Jewish citizen Sally Grünberg, who worked as a self-employed butcher in the village, were no longer allowed to attend school. Under threat of reprisals, the Aryan population was urged not to buy anything from him. The Grünberg family did not survive the time of the persecution of the Jews, apart from two children who emigrated early. After the bombing of the Sorpe Dam in May 1943, the repair and clean-up work required a large number of workers. These were mainly recruited from prisoners of war and forced laborers who were housed in accommodations on the site of today's rifle hall. At the end of the Second World War , Hachen was hit by six bombs on April 10, 1945, there was considerable damage to some houses, and eleven soldiers from Latvia died. Further damage was caused by artillery fire on April 12th. The population fled to the surrounding forests, the American troops entered the town on April 13, 1945 without resistance. A total of 79 men from Hachen were killed in this war.

After the wars

Important tasks after the world wars were the regulation of the textile and food distribution. After the Second World War, Hachen was the target of several refugees, so the management of the living space had to be regulated. In the early days of the occupation by the American troops, houses were confiscated, radios confiscated and curfew imposed. The electricity was turned off for the first four weeks and the school reopened in September 1945. The Americans, some of whom were housed in large tents on the Röhrwiesen, left after a few weeks and the place had to solve its problems with the many refugees. Shortly after the war, the Froh company began dismantling.

After the Second World War, Clemens Schulte was appointed by the military government as mayor, who made his office available in the first session after the election on September 25, 1946. Josef Schulte Angels was elected as his successor, who served until November 24, 1952 and was replaced by Karl König in 1967. The last mayor of Hachen was Josef Cordes. He lost his position on January 1, 1975 due to the new restructuring law coming into force. The freedom of Hachen thus lost its independent communal unit. In all the years since 1844 only one woman was a member of the community council, her name was Maria Potthoff.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the former municipality of Hachen

Blazon :

Split by blue and silver, in front of the split a half, gold-armored silver eagle with a golden tongue, behind a continuous black cross.

Description:

The first known seal dates from 1652. There is a half eagle on the left and a free-floating cross on the right. From this the coat of arms was probably developed, which forms a connection between the two state coats of arms (Arnsberg eagle and Electoral Cologne cross). The coat of arms is also shown in this form in the Arnsberg coat of arms collection from 1700. The official approval took place on December 21, 1912. At that time the coat of arms still contained the church patron Saint Laurentius as a shield holder.

Water supply

A central water supply was built in 1908 according to the plans of the meadow builder Heinemann from Siegen. The settlement of the water supplies to the households was carried out according to a complicated procedure in which the size of the livestock and the dwelling also played a role. Water clocks were installed in 1928. Difficulties with the water supply had been known since 1909, the dairy needed water for cooling all the time and a private person maintained a fountain. In addition, the sources were only moderately productive. Some of the higher buildings were not adequately supplied. Measures such as the prohibition of the use of water motors in washing machines, the operation of fountains etc., as well as the development of new springs only moderately alleviated the problems. After the Second World War, a joint water supply was agreed with the municipalities of Enkhausen and Stemel. During this measure, the source on the Hüttenwiese was also tapped and the water was fed into the pipes with a pump. The community acquired the rights to the source of the Bieber in Holzen around 1960. After joining forces with the city of Sundern, a new waterworks was built on the Sorpe and the water shortage was eliminated.

Attractions

Facilities

St. Mary

The area had been Christianized since the eighth century. Before 1200 the Counts of Arnsberg built a chapel in Hachen as their own church, which was maintained by the Counts and which also determined the respective clergy. Before that, the believers had to attend the service in the parish church in Enkhausen. The church in Enkhausen was probably built in the 10th or 11th century. The first church building, subject to the patronage of Maria, was near the Coerschulte farm, northeast of the castle hill. The plebanus Albertus de Hagnen was mentioned as the first clergyman; he took part in a chapter meeting in Balve in 1214. The building was about 10 meters long and 6 meters wide. The semicircular choir was added on the east side. The massive masonry was covered by a thatched roof that was constantly being renewed. Over the years, the masonry deteriorated more and more. No knowledge has been handed down about the architectural style or the other appearance, and the appearance of the interior is also unknown. The last service was held in 1826 by either the pastor Friedrich Hellwig from Enkhausen or the beneficiary Canonicus Vanhagel, after which the chapel was profaned. Everhard Mesler bought the building with the property for 60 marks, repaired it a little and used it as a stable for his cattle. The chapel burned down in 1890.

After that, a new building was planned, in which a school building should also be erected at the same time. The plans were in place, but the fundraising was not clear. An application was made to Paderborn to carry out a collection in the province of Westphalia in favor of church building. A request for mercy support from the king in Berlin was also submitted. Both applications were rejected in 1841. In the case of the rejection from Berlin, reference was made to the possible legal process that would now have to be taken if they dared . The Hachen people dared, a chapel board was founded and on November 27, 1845 the band board sued the Prussian tax authorities. The process went through three stages and lasted three years. After years of dispute over financing and the solution of a number of other problems, the foundation stone was laid on June 20, 1863. The benediction in honorem beatae Mariae virginis took place on November 21, 1865 by the dean Schlüter from Hüsten. The high altar was donated by the parish of Hüsten. According to an inventory from 1866, the chapel had the following equipment:

  • An old altar, donated by the parish of Hüsten, completed and re-illuminated by the chapel treasury
  • A small altar bell
  • A white chasuble new
  • A new goblet
  • A new brass holy water kettle
  • Two pewter measuring jugs, new
  • Two white flags of wool damask
  • A red chasuble
  • A black chasuble
  • 4 brass altar candlesticks
  • 3 linen albums
  • A priest Rochet
  • 2 suits for altar boys
  • 1 sick lantern, ditto an older one
  • 1 smoke barrel (like no.14 for free)
  • A statue of the Mother of God (v. Goldkuhle)
  • Two altar cloths, a communion cloth and other linen items

Until 1925 Hachen had no clergyman of his own, then the pastor was appointed R. Wilhelm Bange employed. Hachen was raised to a parish vicarie in January 1927. Since the chapel had become too small for the location, the organ stage was expanded in 1930. The condition was bad in 1931, the plastering and painting were badly damaged and the crosses were missing at the stations of the cross. The building was re-plastered in the same year. In November a new tabernacle was built into the altar. Under the direction of the church painter Frerig, the restoration of the interior took place in 1932, the necessary renovation of the organ was tackled and the windows were fitted with cathedral glass. In 1934, the Archbishop of Paderborn granted the community in Hachen its own asset management. The elevation to the parish took place on February 1, 1939 by the Archbishop Caspar Klein . The building was expanded in 1954 according to plans by Hans Massmann and in 1966 according to plans by Heinrich Stiegemann , as the community had grown. To make room, the old school from 1876 was demolished.

On the second weekend in December, the atmospheric Christmas market with Christmas tree sales takes place on Schützenplatz.

The Radio Sauerland Cup, organized by TuS Hachen, is one of the most popular youth football tournaments in the Sauerland .

traffic

The federal road runs through Hachen B229. The next connection points are Arnsberg-Altstadt and Hüsten on the motorway A46 .

Hachen is connected to the RLG bus network by lines R22 , R25 , S20 , 432 and N6 .

This connects Hachen to Arnsberg (Westphalia) and Neheim-Hüsten stations, both of which are served by the Sauerland Express and the Dortmund-Sauerland Express .

Furthermore, the Neheim-Hüsten – Sundern railway runs through Hachen , although it is only used sporadically for freight traffic. A reactivation for passenger traffic, which was discontinued in 1977, is discussed. The re-establishment of the SPNV is included in the local traffic plan of the Zweckverband Nahverkehr Westfalen-Lippe and has been registered for the reorganization of the public transport requirement plan of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Several reports have shown that hourly operation after upgrading the infrastructure is possible and makes economic sense.
