According to the location and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg , the place was categorized as a farm and in 1838 had a population of 47, all of whom were Protestant. At that time, the place was the titular place of the Kamscheider peasantry within the mayor's office of Halver and had nine residential buildings, two factories or mills and nine agricultural buildings.
