history

The first mention comes from 1490 in the deed of foundation of a vicarie on the mountain our dear women called dat Havescheid by the gentlemen from and to the break. Only from 1507 the place was called Kohlhagen. The foundation of the vicarie in the then parish (Kirch-) Hundem was related to the pilgrimages that took place in this place. The pilgrimage picture was and is a late Gothic Pietà from the first half of the 15th century.

In 1655, Kohlhagen and the villages of Brachthausen , Emlinghausen, Silberg, Varste and Wirme and the individual farms of Ahe, Breitenbruch and Mark were parceled off from the mother church in Kirchhundem. From 1843 to 1969, the parish also included the political municipality of Kohlhagen in the Kirchhundem office, which was then dissolved . In 1924 the Catholic parish of Silberg / Varste was established by separating it from the parish of Kohlhagen. On July 1, 1969, Kohlhagen was incorporated into Kirchhundem.

Pilgrimage church

Interior of the pilgrimage church

Today's parish and pilgrimage church of the Mariä Visitation in Kohlhagen with the patronage of St. Mary's Visitation (July 2nd) was built on the site of the previous building between 1703 and 1707. The building has a rich baroque interior from the Sasse sculptor's workshop in Attendorn . The historic organ , which was installed in the church in 1745, probably comes from the workshop of Johann Henrich Kleine from the Eckenhagen parish .

In the immediate vicinity of the car park of the church there has been a Madonna sculpture carved into a tree trunk since July 2018. The tree trunk belonged to an ash tree that had grown locally, which was affected by ash dieback and had to be felled. The carving work on the remaining tree trunk was carried out by a local sculptor using a chainsaw.

Parish and sexton's house

Adam Vogt von Elspe zu Bamenohl donated the Timmer-Jacobs house in Brachthausen on July 1, 1657 as a building site for the parish of Kohlhagen's parsonage.

West of the parish and pilgrimage church is the sexton's house, built in 1866. After a convent of the poor servants of Jesus Christ (Dernbach) was located there from 1997 to 2018 , the building is to become part of the future Spiritual Center Kohlhagen through a conversion and extension . Construction work is scheduled to start in March 2020. The center will take on additional tasks that can no longer be adequately performed in the congregations, including weekend seminars, lectures and prayer events. The center is looked after by two Pallottine clergymen .

graveyard

The cemetery of the parish of Kohlhagen is laid out around the pilgrimage church. In the niches between the buttresses of the church building there are also various graves of priests, including that of the Nazi justice victim Peter Grebe . In a special part of the cemetery there are four war graves from the time of the Second World War .

Way of the Cross

A way of the cross , which is now a listed building, was laid out in a ring around the church grounds in 1908. The 14th station was built in 1923/24, a memorial chapel with a war memorial, which was executed and planned by the sculptor Franz Belke from Grevenbrück ( Lennestadt ). Special features of most stations are the designs with quartz stones and slag from the nearby ore mines at Silberg and Varste . The twelfth station with the crucifixion scene is a 3.15 m high wooden cross.

Seven Pain Ways

From the places Emlinghausen and Wirme there is a station path with depictions of the “ Seven Sorrows of Mary ” to the pilgrimage church of Kohlhagen.
