history

The Lehn farm is mentioned in a document in the treasury of the county of Mark from 1486. Until 1807 he belonged to the Gennebreck farmers within the high court and the Schwelm recipe of the Wetter office in the county of Mark . From 1807 to 1814, due to the Napoleonic communal reforms in the Grand Duchy of Berg , Lehn was part of the rural community of Gennebreck within the newly founded Mairie Hasslinghausen in the arrondissement of Hagen , which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration now became the mayor's office Haßlinghausen (from 1844 office Haßlinghausen ) in the district of Hagen (from 1897 Schwelm district , from 1929 Ennepe-Ruhr district ) belonged.

Lehn appears on the Niemeyersche Karte , special edition of the mining district of the Blankenstein district , from 1788/89 as a court with three buildings. The place is recorded on the Prussian first recording from 1840 as Aufm Lehn . From the Prussian new admission of 1892, the place is recorded on the TK25 measurement table as a fief .

In 1871, the municipality and estate district statistics of the province of Westphalia listed the place under the name auf`m Lehn as a colony with eleven residential buildings and 152 inhabitants, with neighboring residential spaces probably also being included due to the high number of buildings and inhabitants compared to later registers. In 1885, the community encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia also gave a number of 23 residents for Lehn who lived in three houses. In 1895 the place had three houses with 27 inhabitants and belonged to the Evangelical parish of Herzkamp. In 1905 the place had four houses and 36 inhabitants.

On January 1, 1970, the Haßlinghausen office was dissolved and the rural community Gennebreck, which belonged to the office, was incorporated into the town of Sprockhövel with Lehn.
