Municipal coat of arms

Lüdenscheid-Land was a municipality in the Altena district in the Sauerland . It was created when Lüdenscheid was divided into a town and a rural community on April 15, 1843 and also included the formerly independent manor districts of Neuenhof and Oedenthal . The seat of the municipality was the town of Lüdenscheid, which did not belong to it.

history

The coexistence of the urban and rural community of Lüdenscheid was predominantly characterized by structural, economic and political differences. In the first decades the economic power and initially also the population prevailed in the rural community with the industrialized valleys of Volme , Rahmede and Verse . When it was founded, it had 4073 inhabitants. Up until the unification of the empire in 1871, however, the balance had shifted significantly, while this development continued and accelerated. The rural community was politically conservative; In the 19th century, the city had predominantly liberal-progressive majorities. The resulting almost permanent dissent prevented u. a. an optimal railway development of Lüdenscheid. In 1910, the impressive ensemble of the office building and the Selve fountain was built on Sauerfelder Straße in the center of the city as the seat of the administration and political bodies of the Lüdenscheid office . The municipality of Lüdenscheid-Land was a dominant part of this until the end of 1968. On January 1, 1969, the office and rural community were dissolved and divided. Most of the latter has since been part of the city of Lüdenscheid; the middle Rahmedetal and parts of the neighboring plateaus came to the city of Altena . Other parts of the community were reclassified to Halver , Herscheid , Kierspe , Meinerzhagen and Werdohl .

The population on December 1, 1910 was 11,218. When it was incorporated, Lüdenscheid-Land had an area of ​​10,094 ha.

coat of arms

The three interlinked rings in the upper part are taken from the coat of arms of the von Neuhoff family . It is significantly connected with the history of the two formerly independent manor districts of Neuenhof and Oedenthal that were absorbed in Lüdenscheid-Land. The nested bar indicates that the parish belongs to the county of Mark . Finally, the three white wavy lines in a green environment symbolize the three valleys of Volme, Rahmede and Verse that dominate Lüdenscheid-Land.

Parish parts

The Hunswinkel labor education camp , the Versetalsperre and the Fuelbecketalsperre , today the city of Altena, were located in the area of ​​the municipality of Lüdenscheid-Land .
