history

The southern Brandenburg Sauerland was Christianized by the 9th century at the latest. However, it is also assumed that this may have happened as early as the 4th century, due to the demand for iron products from the Sauerland in the Cologne area. Up until the Reformation, Lüdenscheid was the seat of a large deanery that reached as far as Schwelm.

The city introduced the Reformation between 1563 and 1578 and was purely Lutheran until the end of the 17th century . At the turn of the 17th to the 18th century, a small Reformed congregation arose through immigration , which from 1705 was allowed to use the Kreuzkapelle in the area of ​​today's Sternplatz for its services. It then took another nearly one hundred years until a small Catholic community was formed again through immigration and under the sign of the Prussian policy of tolerance . From 1795 she strove to set up her own house of prayer. It was not until 1827 that she was able to acquire the Kreuzkapelle, whereby the majority of the purchase price was made available by Protestant Lüdenscheiders. As early as 1822, the Lutheran and Reformed congregations were united under the sign of the Old Prussian Union .

Since the industrial revolution, the denominational composition of Lüdenscheid has been shaped to an even greater extent than before by immigration: the proportion of Catholic Christians has increased, and a Greek Orthodox community and Muslim communities have emerged in recent decades . All of this is reflected in the local inventory of churches and places of worship.

Lüdenscheid is still considered a center of evangelical piety. Jochen Bohl , regional bishop of the traditional Ev.-Luth. Regional church of Saxony , was born in Lüdenscheid (vicariate in the Brüninghauser church). The pietist and evangelical theologian Paul Deitenbeck worked on site . The leader of the “Free Christian Youth Community” (FCJG), a charismatic group, is the well-known and sometimes controversial preacher and so-called evangelist Walter Heidenreich . Even Jürgen Werth , director of the so-called. Gospel radio and several years Chairman of the German Evangelical Alliance , comes from Lüdenscheid. Until the persecution by the National Socialists, Lüdenscheid also had a Jewish community . Their meeting rooms were in what is now Graf-Engelbert-Platz. The Jewish cemetery Am Ramsberg is an impressive testimony to this chapter in the city's history . In the last post-war period it was relocated from the current AOK site on Knapper Strasse; Many historical tombs of Jewish Lüdenscheiders have been preserved.
