Kunst Wittgenstein is a small part of the spa town of Bad Laasphe . It consists of a few houses and has about 100 inhabitants. Until the implementation of the Sauerland / Paderborn law on January 1, 1975, the place was an independent municipality.

Kunst Wittgenstein is located on federal road 62 directly on the Lahn , between the main town Bad Laasphe and Saßmannshausen . The name is derived from the so-called water art . This was a pumping and conveying system for the water supply of Wittgenstein Castle that was built towards the end of the 17th century . With the construction of this pressure station, powered by a water wheel , the laborious transport of water by horse and cart was no longer necessary.

The first canon estates were created in 1770 and 1800, and eight canon estates can be identified at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1854 the family of Baron Carl von Wittgenstein (1809–1866) moved into the Villa Carlsburg above the Friedrichshütte, which took nine years to build . For more than 120 years it served as the residence of the Barons von Wittgenstein, a branch of the Princely House of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein .

The population figures in the past were:

  • 1819: 10 houses, 181 inhabitants
  • 1854: 19 houses, 136 inhabitants
  • 1900: 34 inhabitants
  • 1961: 23 houses, 149 inhabitants
  • 1968: 25 houses, 215 inhabitants

The Friedrichshütte ironworks, which emerged from the Laaspher Hammer , were built in the village at the end of the 18th century . From 1860 heating devices and stoves were manufactured there. In connection with the construction of the railway line from Cölbe to Kreuztal ( Obere Lahntalbahn ), the Friedrichshütte station was put into operation in 1888 . After the station was closed in 1996, it was sold to the Siegen-Wittgenstein district , which set up a rescue station there.
