Location and description

The place is about 2 kilometers north of Bergneustadt as the crow flies. The old village is located below the source area of ​​the Leienbach in a valley depression about 100 meters above Bergneustadt. In the east the valley is bordered by the 451  m high tuber. The Leienbachtal in the Hackenberg area is separated from Bergneustadt in the south and the Aggerstalsperre in the north by around 380  m high foothills of the Knollen. The Aggertalsperre adjoins it in the northeast, 100 meters lower. Steep roads with a gradient of up to 17 percent lead to both the Aggertalsperre and the city, so that the citizens live “on the Hackenberg”.

history

First mention

The place was first mentioned as Haikenbergh in 1436 :

"Johann and Heynemann Haikenbergh are successively administrators of the Vogtamt zu Neustadt."

1907 - Founding of the Hackenberg-Leienbach water supply cooperative

At the beginning of the 20th century, the residents of Hackenberg and Leienbach met their water needs from four open wells. The proximity of the wells to dung sites led to a visit by the district doctor Wolf and subsequently to a visit to the Werneburg building council and the Kirchstein district administrator. The problem was to be countered with a central water supply, although Mayor Eigen pointed out that no case of typhoid had yet occurred and that even three couples had celebrated their gold wedding anniversary. 34 homeowners came to the establishment of the cooperative, three of whom were elected to the board of directors and three to the supervisory board. The residents had running water as early as 1908/1909 after a basin had been built at the Rengsearm of the Aggertalsperre and from there it was pumped into a small elevated tank on the Beuel in order to reach the residential buildings via a water pipe. This water supply was used for about 50 years.

Hackenberg's development from a tranquil hamlet to a failed demonstrative building project

For centuries, the hamlets of Hackenberg and Leienbach corresponded to a village-like settlement pattern with around 50 houses and buildings in the end. At the end of the 1950s, the Sonnenkamp and Zum Knollen part-time settlements were built to provide living space for refugees from the Second World War. In order to meet the continuing housing shortage in Bergneustadt, the smallest municipality in Oberberg in terms of area, and the urgent need for workers in the then flourishing industry, the mayor and city council developed the Hackenberg / Leienbach settlement focus. The “non-profit housing and settlement building cooperative” (GeWoSie) promoted cooperative building in Löhstrasse and Liegnitzer Strasse.

Laying of the foundation stone on March 24, 1966

The demonstrative building project started in 1966 and within a short time 15 eight-story and 50 three- or four-story apartment buildings were built. On March 24, 1966, reported the Oberbergische Volkszeitung , Mayor Dick laid the foundation stone for the first eight-story high-rise. “The Hackenberg housing estate is no longer a utopia, but a reality […] Architect Hellrung explained that this is the beginning of a special structural development in Bergneustadt. 1000 families should find a home here […] emphasized Mayor Dick “From 1966 to 1973 the number of inhabitants rose by 3,000 to 3,500 people. As a result, the two small villages of Hackenberg and Leienbach became modern, but desolate places to sleep. When the first people moved in, the entire infrastructure was missing and the biggest mistakes were even made in terms of planning, as not even the building areas were intended for it. Much was expected of the people. With increasing unemployment, the social problems increased in these two districts. Many Turkish families and resettlers from the Soviet Union came since 1974; their children sometimes make up the majority of pupils in primary school.

Urban redevelopment west

Since 2013, Hackenberg has been rebuilt as the “Hackenberg district renewal project - a district reinvents itself” with funding from the federal and state-sponsored program "Stadtumbau West" . The “Stadtumbau West” funding program supports cities and municipalities in projects that contribute to improving the image, living and letting situation. On the basis of an expert opinion, an action plan was developed in collaboration with the residents and implemented. Projects in the areas of living, green and open spaces, infrastructure and image will change the district positively until around 2020.

Church institutions

In 1969, the Hackenberg district was founded in the Bergneustadt Evangelical Church. In the center of the village between Breslauer Straße and Sonnenkamp is the Hackenberg Evangelical Community Center, which was inaugurated on the 1st Sunday of Advent in 1976. Its windows and antependums were designed by Kurt Wolff , the then artistic director of the Paramentik workshop in Kaiserswerth .

The parish hall of the Evangelical Free Church Community of Hackenberg, which belongs to the Brethren, and the parish church of St. Matthias are located on the southern outskirts.

The districts of the churches as well as the school district are congruent and include not only Hackenberg and Leienbach but also individual Bergneustädter streets. The picture on which the quarry can be seen shows it almost completely.
