history

Herhagen is first mentioned in a document relatively late, namely in 1346 ( in Herhaghen ). The meaning of the place name is not clear; the interpretation as "settlement on a stony slope" seems most accurate, which fits the location below the Murenberg.

Together with the parish of Reiste, Herhagen belonged to the state of Fredeburg as part of the state of Bilstein in the Middle Ages. The last nobleman of Bilstein, Johann II. Von Bilstein, ceded the state of Fredeburg to the Counts of Arnsberg in the middle of the 14th century, before 1353. In 1368 the Lower Office of Fredeburg came with the sale of the county of Arnsberg mainly to the Electorate of Cologne Duchy of Westphalia . When the Lower Office of Fredeburg was removed from the old state of Fredeburg around 1540, Herhagen came into the then independent Office of Eslohe. At the same time, the old free courts were abolished, so that the parish courts in Reiste, Eslohe and Schliprüthen took over the jurisdiction of both the free as well as the go courts in the Eslohe office.

There are already at least seven different farms in Herhagen in the 14th and 15th centuries: the farm of the Remblinghausen family Kerl in 1346 [later Kemper , today Fuchte ]; the count's, later electoral mill [ Müller ] 1348; a farm of the von Meschede family around 1400 [ Spieckermann ]; two courtyards of the main courtyard Langenbeck of the Meschede monastery around 1400 [ Schröjahr , Körnecke ]; a fief of the Rump family in 1454 [ Gercke ]; the estate of the Schnöde family in 1481 [ Schnöde ].

The treasury registers of the 16th century (1536, 1565), the Westphalian stock book of 1600 and the tax register of 1627 each name ten persons liable for the treasury , namely the Höfe and Kotten Spieckermann , Müller , Schnöde , Gercke , Schröjahr , Körnecke , Pieper , Kemper , Jürgens and Tigges , to which Hof Gerres joined as the eleventh house in 1685 . In 1785 Herhagen had 76 inhabitants in eleven houses, in 1817 96 inhabitants in a further eleven houses and in 1885 95 inhabitants in 15 houses.

Herhagen belonged to the municipality of Reiste until the municipal reorganization and was incorporated into the municipality of Eslohe on January 1, 1975.

Today's chapel was built in 1947/48 and, like the previous building, which was destroyed in a bombing raid in 1945, is dedicated to St. Lawrence .
