history
Settlement and first mention
The inner mountain area was developed and settled relatively late. The reasons for the late settlement are the relatively high amounts of precipitation and the associated risk of flooding as well as the steep slopes that are hostile to traffic. In addition, the soils are not very suitable for growing high-quality plants. Archaeological finds in the area of the Bliesenbach mine dated the Rheinisches Landesamt für Bodendenkmalpflege to the time around 20 AD. These are fragments of Roman ceramics and imported ceramics from the Mediterranean area. Apparently the Romans mined here on silver and lead ores . Fixed settlement sites are unlikely to have emerged at this time.
Most of the villages were built in the early medieval clearing period between 900 and 1200. Loope belonged to the Frohnhof Lindlar as a sub-parish of the Engelskirchen parish . The place was first mentioned in 1413 in a "combing invoice for the Fronhof Lindlar" of the Severinstift in Cologne. The spelling of the first mention is Loeppe , which is probably derived from the Germanic word stems Loh = forest and -epe = brook. It can be assumed that the place got its name from the Loopebach which rises near the Drabenderhöhe .
The treasurer recorded 21 yards for the loop area. Loope itself is listed with only one homestead, probably due to the flood-prone valley location.
From 1800 to 1900
Since the Congress of Vienna , Loope has belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia . Land maps drawn up in 1828 list 31 buildings and 13 barns for the village of Loope. The largest landowner was the Count of Nesselrode , who owned half of Unter-Engelskirchen. The land was mainly used for forestry and agriculture. A first stone bridge over the Agger was built in 1830; previously the Agger was crossed by a ford at the confluence of the Loopebach.
From 1900 to 1945
Towards the end of World War II , Loope was repeatedly targeted by Allied air strikes . In the first attack on Ehreshoven on February 2, 1945, 22 people were killed. The train station and bridges were slightly damaged in the attack, which was carried out with around 10 aircraft. In a second attack on the town center on February 19, seven people died. Several buildings were destroyed in a last attack on March 1st. On April 11th, American soldiers reached Loope. The retreating German troops had blown the bridges over the Agger a few hours earlier; only the railway bridge in the center of the village remained almost undamaged, as a local resident had cut the ignition cables beforehand. 70 Loope soldiers died in World War II.
Younger story
As part of the municipal reorganization, Loope and the entire municipality of Engelskirchen were separated from the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis and incorporated into the Oberbergischer Kreis by the Cologne Act in 1974 .
Culture and sights
Parishes
In Loope there is a Protestant and a Catholic parish. The population of Loope has long been largely Catholic. The number of Protestant citizens only increased significantly after the end of the Second World War.
- The evangelical parish Engelskirchen und Loope has had a youth home since 1962 and the Paul-Gerhard-Haus since 1991 , where services were celebrated. Until 1961, the sacristy of the Catholic Church or rooms in the Catholic primary school were used for this. With the expansion of the Protestant kindergarten in 2003, the Paul-Gerhard-Haus was desecrated and converted for all-day use as part of childcare. The Protestant parish now uses the Christ Church in Engelskirchen for their services.
- The Catholic parish used the Rochus Chapel until the opening of the first Catholic church on December 8, 1907 . The church building was significantly expanded between the end of 1955 and November 1957 to become today's Herz-Jesu Church .
Hiking and bike paths
The following hiking trails are offered by the Loope hiking car park from the Sauerland Mountain Association (SGV):

Monuments
As of 2014, there are 15 architectural monuments in Loope. In addition to the nationally known Schloss Ehreshoven and some buildings in the vicinity of the castle, these include two chapels, several wayside crosses as well as the Ehreshoven train station and the Kastor suspension bridge .
Economy and Infrastructure
Mining
The following mines were mined in Loope:
- Until 1931 on the Bruno II mine in Niederhof ,
- until 1929 at the Castor mine in the village of Kastor ,
- until 1926 on the Bliesenbach mine in the Loope district
- until 1896 at the Silberkaule mine in the Loope district.
traffic
Highway
Loope is connected to the motorway network via the A4 federal motorway. The next connection points are the Overath and Engelskirchen driveways.
railroad
The Siegburg – Olpe railway , on which the Oberbergische Bahn (RB25) runs between Cologne Hansaring and Lüdenscheid, runs through Loope . The line used to have a stop in Loope (at today's Hubertushof) and Ehreshoven station , which are no longer served today. In the meantime, there were considerations to set up a new breakpoint in Loope. After an expert commissioned by the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg recommended setting up an additional stop in Vilkerath, the municipality of Engelskirchen announced in November 2013 that it would support this project and not pursue a new stop in Loope. The next stops are Overath and Engelskirchen .
Public bus stops
The RVK line 310 runs through Loope from Gummersbach to Overath. Stops in Loope are:
- Loop
- Loope Church
- Broich
- Ehreshoven Castle
- Sub-state
Since 2006 there has also been a volunteer-run citizens' bus , which runs several times a week from stops in the outer areas of Loopes destinations in Engelskirchen.
Schools and kindergartens
There is evidence of a school in Loope from 1819. It was a clay framework with a thatched roof on today's B 55 . Due to the increasing number of pupils, a new school building was moved into in 1846, in which 100 pupils could be taught by two teachers. In 1883 the building was expanded to include two classrooms. At the turn of the millennium, 280 children were being taught. Due to the increasing number of pupils and structural deficiencies, the construction of a new primary school began in 1956. The responsible school supervisory authority had previously rejected the extension of the existing building due to the unfavorable location between the federal road and the railway line.
The construction of the school began in 1956; the school building opened on October 11, 1958. The building is now used as a Catholic primary school with all-day care.
There is a Catholic kindergarten in Loope, which was built in 1975 and has been expanded several times since then. The Protestant kindergarten, which was founded in 1989, uses the premises of the Protestant community.
The Protestant kindergarten was fundamentally expanded in 2013 and now also offers all-day care.
