history
In the Middle Ages the place was known as the seat of a free chair . Keddinghausen was mentioned in connection with the Böddeken monastery as early as 1278 . About 130 years later, a Ministralia family “Werner von Keddinghausen” was reported to have owned large estates in the area.
In 1420 Werner von Keddinghausen donated his goods to the Hardehausen monastery with the stipulation that a farm, a chapel and a monastery for ten to twelve monks be built there. In 1488 the Hardehausen Monastery sold the property to the Lords of Büren.
The farm yard had a castle tower. The “Mönnig” manor, which was previously called Schultenhof, probably emerged from this. There are ten to twelve more submerged farmsteads, some of which are believed to have been in the area of today's settlement. The current settlement houses were probably only built there from 1937 to 1977.
When a mill ditch was set up at the “Mönnig” farm in the previous century, the remains of a foundation and a moat were found that suggest a castle. The meadow between the Afte and the first agricultural buildings is still called “on the castle” today.
The foundations of an old church were also discovered when a rafting meadow was created. The adjacent meadow is still called “Kirchwiese” today. Old records indicate that the church and castle were destroyed in the Thirty Years War , as was the former settlement “Scharboken”, which was south of Keddinghausen.
Up until the 19th century, all eight houses were in the valley, but at the beginning of the last century they were rebuilt by their owners at higher locations because they were often hit by floods in the lower locations. Two other farms were relocated because of a fire. Three houses were demolished and never rebuilt.
Until 1836 there was no road connection to Keddinghausen. Only with the construction of a road and a bridge through the Aftetal was Keddinghausen connected to the transport network.
On April 1, 1939, the previously independent place was incorporated into the municipality of Hegensdorf .
Today the place is mainly characterized by the Keddinghausen flood retention basin , the Mönnighof and the road 549 from Büren to Marsberg .
