history

Hesseln was first mentioned in a document in 1462, but the time of origin of the settlement is presumed to be between 1050 and 1200 as a result of the clearing phase after the high medieval territorial formation. Hesseln was probably a split from the Gesenberg court.

Around 1500 it is documented by documents that the Hesseln court was liable to the Bergisch 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 there were 26 residents in the village. According to the locality and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg , Hesseln was categorized as a farm and in 1838 had a population of 25, of which two were Catholic and 23 were Protestant. The place belonged to the Lausberger peasantry within the mayor's office of Halver and had five houses, three factories or mills and an agricultural building.

The municipality encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 38 inhabitants who lived in five houses.

In the vicinity there was the Hesselermühle , a mill on the Bolsenbach .
