Lennetal is the name of a local part of the independent city Hagen in the southeastern Ruhr area , which is created in 1975 as part of municipal restructuring. In 2013 the Lennetal district had 5,042 inhabitants.

Berchum

Berchum was a peasantry in the parish of the same name in the Middle Ages and early modern times . The lords of Berchum (also: Berchem) are mentioned in a document for the first time in the 13th century. Their small castle complex is a ruin on the edge of today's district.

Already towards the end of the Middle Ages, the Berchum lordship was no longer of any major importance, and the property was completely destroyed in the Thirty Years' War.

Before Berchum was a district of Hagen on 1 January 1975 the place was a municipality in the Office Ergste in county Iserlohn .

Herbeck

In Herbeck (originally also "Heyrbecke" or "Heiderbecke") there were originally two aristocratic farms. Oberste Herbeck passed into the possession of the von Hövel family by inheritance in the 2nd half of the 17th century, and the former Niederste Herbeck estate was bought by Ferdinand Freiherr von Hövel in 1745. After the merger of Oberste and Niederste Herbeck, the knight's seat was one of the largest and most powerful aristocratic courts in the lower Lennetal, with fishing rights on the Lenne, hunting rights in the Herbeck farming community, and ferry rights on the Herbeck Lenne ferry. Of the approximately 1,400 Prussian acres (almost 360 hectares) total area of ​​the municipality of Herbeck in 1825, Baron von Hövel owned around 840 acres, i.e. almost two thirds.

Heaps

Halden , also known as "Haldene" in an older form, seems to have developed into a clustered village with around ten courtyards in the late Middle Ages, and at the beginning of the 13th century the Schultenhof emerged as the main courtyard of the village, along with several small and lower courtyards is mentioned for the first time in the Herdecker Lehnsregister from 1229. Other important farms in the following centuries were the Wehberg-Hof, the Rhynhof, Kumbruchs Hof and the Beckmann'sche Hof.

industrialization

In contrast to the valleys of Volme and Ennepe, in which hydropower was already being used in the 16th century for a large number of forges and hammers, the lower Lennetal shortly before its confluence with the Ruhr was almost rarely used industrially. Reasons for this may have been the width of the floodplain, the low water gradient and the annual floods of the Lenne; It was not until the end of the 1950s that dikes were built along the river for the first time in connection with the construction of the motorway in the Hagen area.

The economic structural change in the region forced the city council and administration of the city of Hagen to take suitable measures to further develop the grown commercial structure in a future-oriented manner, to secure jobs and to create new jobs. Based on the investigations of the urban planning experts Jansen, Seifert 1956 and Henn 1961, the foundation for the expansion of an extensive industrial and commercial settlement in the lower Lennetal was started in 1971. On October 29, 1971, representatives of the communities of Hohenlimburg, Berchum and Hagen approved the planning concept for the development of the Lennetal, and since the incorporation in 1975 the city of Hagen has been solely responsible for the implementation of the "Lenneschiene" extension. An industrial and commercial park was built on 460 hectares in the Unteres Lennetal / Halden development area, and 1,600 hectares at the intersection of the A1, A45 and A46 motorways were opened up by road and rail.
