history

There are as yet no reliable historical data or knowledge about the development of the village of Lichtringhausen, formerly also called Lechterkusen . However, based on the naming, one can assume that it originated in the 8th or 9th century. The first currently verifiable documentary mention of Lichtringhausen was in October 1393 in the Märkisches Lehnsregister . In 1434, Dietrich von Schnellenberg bequeathed his son-in-law Cord, Vogt von Elspe , various tithe to Lange, Windhausen and Lichtringhausen. The place name can be interpreted as " at the houses of the people of Liohtheri or Liohtgēr ".

Politically, Lichtringhausen belonged to the Waldenburg office and in the Gogericht and parish Attendorn to the Windhausen peasantry , which also included surrounding towns such as Hebberg , Weltringhausen , Biekhofen and others. In the appraisal register of 1536, four taxable farms belonging to Lichtringhausen are named, with taxes between half and 2 gold guilders . Later these farms must have enlarged, because in the registry of 1565 they are taxed with 1 to 5 gold guilders.

In the 17th century there were five estates in Lichtringhausen: Kollen Gut, Langenohls Gut, Peters Gut, Wilmes Gut and Bittern Gut.

The Kollen Gut was at the bottom of the village and was a Köttergut. Since 1692 managed by Hermann Storck. Later a Rauterkus family lived on the farm, still living in 1828. Rauterkus called Kolle. In an inventory list from 1835, the estate is listed as the property of von Fürstenberg .

The large Langenohl estate was directly above the previous one and belonged to the Ahausen family . Managed by Johann Langenohl. In 1828 Josef Zacker called Langenohl was given as the owner.

Peters Gut was the middle yard in the village. At the end of the 17th century the farm belonged to Rötger Rademacher. But in 1718 he sold it to Hubert Wagemann, a citizen of Attendorn, for 385 Reichstaler. Then it came to the Stahlschmidt family from Himmelmert . In 1828 the owner was Franz Rauterkus called Peters; his descendants remained until the 20th century.

The Wilmes Gut was above the previous one. In 1828 it was owned by Kaspar Schulte called Wilmes, and in the 20th century by Josef Schulte called Wilmes.

The Bittern Gut was the highest court in the village. The Aßmann family owned the farm in the 18th century. In 1828 the owner was called Ferdinand Springob gen. Bittern, in the 20th century Peter Lübke.

1793 Christoph Schütz from paper mill to the iron ore mine (lead) on the old wasteland in Lingelscheid on Spitzberg invested .

From 1805 the children from the village and the neighboring villages went to the one-class Lichtringhauser school. Later enlarged and last used as a primary school, it was closed in 2010 after 205 years and the students were distributed to other schools in the city of Attendorn.

In 1936 there were 40 houses with 50 households and 231 residents in the village. In 1988 the place had 538 inhabitants.
