history

Lendersdorf is first documented in 1005, when the future Emperor Henry II. The Aachener Adalbert pin goods bequeathed in Lendersdorf. In 1246, Emperor Friedrich II pledged the imperial city of Düren with Lendersdorf to the dukes of Jülich . Lendersdorf was the seat of one of the four courts around Düren.

In the late Middle Ages, there was a "tower", a defense system with which in 1429 and 1479 a member of the Spies von Büllesheim family, some of whom were resident in the Duchy of Jülich , was enfeoffed . In 1646 the fiefdom "Tiergarten", which should be identical to the tower mentioned, was described as having been destroyed for a long time.

At the beginning of the 17th century, an ironworks was founded in Lendersdorf . In the time of industrialization , Lendersdorf was the starting point for one of the most important steelworks in Europe. Almost all rails for the German railway network were cast in it. Around 1820 the brothers Eberhard Hoesch (1790-1852) and Wilhelm Hoesch (1791-1831) acquired the hut and combined it with their previous works in Zweifall , Schevenhütte and Schneidhausen to form Gebr. Eberhard & Wilhelm Hoesch , later Eberhard Hoesch & Söhne . In 1871, Leopold Hoesch (1820–1899), son of Wilhelm Hoesch, relocated his company from Lendersdorf to Dortmund for economic reasons, and founded the Hoesch Group there . The hut in Lendersdorf was initially continued by Eberhard's son, Gustav Hoesch , and closed in the second half of the 20th century. Various hammer mills , e.g. B. the Eberhardshammer, which was on the Lendersdorfer pond, an artificially created watercourse, processed the metal from the hut.
