history

Etymology of the name

The origin of the place name "Linnepe" cannot be precisely determined. The second syllable, "epe", indicates the location of the place, "epe" describes a damp valley. One can only speculate about the meaning of the first syllable.

History of Linnepes and Weninghausen until 1815

The first written mentions of the place take place at the end of the 13th and beginning of the 14th century. The place is mentioned in the register of the income of the Westphalian Marshal's Office between 1293 and 1300, there it says around 1300: "[...] 1 raised in Ly-nnipe."

In a list of goods belonging to Count Wilhelm von Westfalen in 1313 it says: "Item Nolthardus de Matenbike mediam partem decime in Linnepe". The existence of the place is documented for the beginning of the 14th century.

However, a settlement must have existed at the same place earlier, as indicated by the Güllener Ring refugee or wall castle on the northeast slope of the Dümberg , which dates from the 9th or 10th century AD.

The village of Weninghausen , which belongs to Linnepe , is documented earlier than the village of Linnepe itself; Weninghausen is first mentioned in documents in 1253. In a document in which the Oelinghausen monastery an old meadow in the "Linner Mark" (possibly originates from this Field names the place name Linnepe) is assigned, a "Lambertus von Wenninchusen" appears as a witness. The size of Weninghausen at that time is not documented, around 20 people are likely to have lived there.

The size of the place is not exactly documented for the early 14th century, as the registers that give exclusions about the taxes of the villages do not start for Linnepe until the early 16th century. For the year 1313 only one farm with a tenancy fee is mentioned , but from the name of the place it can be deduced that there were probably several farms . The population of Linnepes could not have exceeded 30 inhabitants at that time.

The oldest description of the size of both places can be found around 1500 in a register of the archbishop of Cologne, who owned the county of Arnsberg after the sale by Count Gottfried IV in 1368. For the Hellefeld office , to which Linnepe belonged, eight yards for Linnepe and three yards for Weninghausen that were subject to service are recorded.

The first mention of a mill in Linnepe (the Linneper Mill) comes from 1650. In the document, the users of the mill from the surrounding villages of Linnepe, Weynkhusen (= Weninghausen) and Altenhellefeld are named. While eight courtyards were still listed in the register of the Archbishop of Cologne around 1500, the document from 1650 already contains the number of nine courtyards that are listed as "meal companions". The number of farms in Weninghausen rose from three farms in 1500 to five farms in 1650.

The population of Linnepes rose to about 55 to 60 in 1650, the population of Weninghausen rose to about 40 by 1650.

The chapel in Linnepe was first mentioned in 1587 when the archbishop's visitors ordered the ailing chapel to be repaired. The Linnepe Chapel is also included in this list.

The document comes from the time after the Thirty Years' War , at that time some farms in Linnepe were desolate, so that it can be assumed that the number of inhabitants in both towns must have been larger at the beginning of the 17th century than after the war. In a list of persons from 1649, 39 residents are listed as subject to treasury (i.e. tax) for Linnepe, and 16 residents are named for Weninghausen.

In the time after the Thirty Years' War another farm must have fallen in desolation; a treasury register from 1685 lists eight farms for Linnepe, while the number of Weninghausen farms rose to seven. In 1717, ten farms were recorded for Linnepe again, and eight farms were given for Weninghausen. In the course of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the Archdiocese of Cologne, to which Linnepe had belonged since 1368, first fell to Hesse and then, from 1815, to Prussia .

History of the Linneper Hut

The Linneper Hütte is mentioned for the first time around the middle of the 18th century, it was built south of Linnepe. With the emergence of the iron industry, a smelting works was built here ; it is documented from 1770. The first tunnel had already been built earlier in the Seilbachtal between Linneperhütte and Meinkenbracht in the so-called "Dinkschlade". It was run by the Grevenstein pastor Josef Becker from around 1730. He set up a laboratory at the mouth of the tunnel, where he cooked the extracted metals. The first houses in Linneperhütte will also have been built around 1730. Becker's work still had a pre-industrial character, he dug in various places around Linnepe and Weninghausen and set up a few smaller mines , but without developing a real mining industry . It was not until the industrialist Anton Kropf and his factor Joan Wilhelm Schnabel took over the facility that iron production in Linneperhütte began to operate industrially. In 1803, however, work in the mine called "Steinknapp" ended, and in 1820 the Linneper Hütte burned down. In the middle of the 19th century iron ore was probably mined again in the Steinknapp mine, but no smelting took place in Linneperhütte after 1803. The spoil heaps and the mouth of the mine can still be seen today and are also included in the mining trail that leads through the Sundern urban area.

History of the municipality of Linnepe from 1815

In the wars of liberation against Napoleon , Linnepe, which had grown in the meantime, was obliged to accept Saxon troops. In 1814, after the end of the war, a total of 110 soldiers were billeted in Linnepe. During the Wars of Liberation, Linnepe was obliged to make contributions , not being spared the effects of the French soldiers stationed in Arnsberg during the Seven Years' War .

The population of Linnepes, like the entire Hellefeld office, continued to increase in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, so that the school in Hellefeld in 1827 had become too small. Another school in Westenfeld was to distribute the students to the community.

During the Second World War , Linnepe was reached in 1945 by the advancing American troops, who closed the Ruhr basin behind Meinkenbracht. In 1945 the Linneper Mill burned down, probably from a shell hit, but was rebuilt.

In 1953 the shooting club "Heilige Drei Könige eV" was founded, a first shooting hall was built in 1958. The decision to build a new shooting hall was made in 1963, and the shooting hall, which is still in use today, was inaugurated in 1965.

In 1954 it was decided to build a Catholic elementary school in Linnepe, the foundation stone was laid in 1955 and the inauguration took place in October 1956. The school was converted into a kindergarten for the Old Testament towns in 1972 by resolution of the local council. The population of Linnepes at that time was 447 and thus roughly corresponds to today's population.

On January 1, 1975 Linnepe was incorporated into Sundern (Sauerland).

Coat of arms of the former municipality of Linnepe

Blazon :

In silver, a blue, sloping, wavy bar, covered with three sloping silver three-pointed crowns.

Description:

The three crowns stand for the Epiphany Chapel, which is located in Linnepe. The colors silver and blue refer to the former sovereigns, the Counts of Arnsberg. The waves should allude to the meaning of the word "epe" = water. The coat of arms was officially approved on January 9, 1967.

The chapels in the municipality of Linnepe

The chapel in Linnepe was first mentioned in 1587, when the archbishop's visitors toured the archbishopric and compiled a list of chapels and churches in which ailing churches and chapels in need of renovation were listed. The Linnepe Chapel also appears in this list, so it will have existed for some time this year. The original compatroness was St. Margaret , the main patron saint was the Three Wise Men . A new bell for the chapel was purchased in 1708, but the chapel itself was in such poor condition that it was rebuilt around 1750.

  • Chapel of the Holy Three Kings in Linnepe

  • Chapel of Saints George and Cecilia

  • Bell in an oak

The Weninghausen chapel was built in the 17th century, patrons were Saint George and Saint Cäcilia .

Linneperhütte itself does not have its own chapel; a bell is attached to a tree in the center of the village. The age and origin of this bell are not precisely documented, it probably dates from the beginning of the 20th century. Allegedly, she was only at the Freienohl train station to warn of trains there.

Hellefeld is and was the main parish of the surrounding villages. The parish of Hellefeld is also known as the "Old Testament" by the population, as it comprises twelve settlements analogous to the twelve tribes of Israel. In addition to Linnepe, these include: Altenhellefeld, Bainghausen, Frenkhausen, Hellefeld, Herblinghausen, Meinkenbracht, Schnellenhaus, Selschede, Visbeck, Wennighausen and Westenfeld.
