Müschede is a district of Arnsberg in North Rhine-Westphalia with 2797 inhabitants.

geography

Müschede is located on the eastern slope of the Röhr valley, between the villages of Hüsten and Hachen . Opposite the settlement is the Müssenberg . At 427.5 m it is the highest point in the area of ​​the city of Arnsberg. In the northeast, the Müscheder Flur is bounded by the Ruhr , which at the same time forms the southwestern border of the neighboring municipality of Bruchhausen.

Between the Ruhr and the built-up district of Müschedes lies the protected natural area of ​​the former military training area, which in recent years has developed into a valuable and popular recreational area within the city limits. With an area of ​​11.41 square kilometers, the district of Müschede represents around 5.6 percent of the total area of ​​the city of Arnsberg.

Local breakdown and development

In terms of traffic, Müschede is opened up by the B229 , which connects the Lennetal with the Ruhrtal and the Haarstrang . From 1900 until the first post-war years of the Second World War, the main passenger and goods traffic was handled via the Neheim-Hüsten-Sundern railway line between Neheim and Sundern, which ran through Müschede and was connected to the Deutsche Bahn network (Röhrtalbahn). This rail connection is only used sporadically for freight traffic and for special trips. The re-establishment of the SPNV is included in the local traffic plan of the Zweckverband Nahverkehr Westfalen-Lippe and has been registered for the reorganization of the public transport requirement plan of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Several reports have shown that hourly operation after upgrading the infrastructure is possible and makes economic sense.

In the area of ​​this road and rail line, industrial companies have settled, beginning in the 19th century, which today provide work for around 500 people. The older districts and the housing estates that have emerged from the last war to the present day are largely apart from and above these industrial valley settlements.

history

In the vicinity of the village was the Wollbrigg Castle from the 10th century and the Wicheln estate . Of the associated manor house, only the main portal remains as the entrance to the shooting range.

Until 1445, Müschede was only called Muche, Musche or Mussche, like the von Muche family, who lived in Müschede at that time . This is first mentioned in 1179. The oldest, detailed information about the place Müschede (Musche) can be found in a document from 1242 (Oelinghausen Monastery, document 63). In a file from the years 1596/97 (StAM, Duchy of Westphalia, Landesarchiv VI No. 17), the current spelling “Müschede” can be found for the first time.

In 1870, Müschede was a village with 500 inhabitants, 100 of whom lived in the eight hammer houses in the valley. The village had neither a church nor a cemetery. There was a school with a teacher with no actual pedagogical training. The first church was built in 1871. The church received its own vicar in 1897. At the beginning of the 20th century the village got an independent parish. A post office and a savings and loan fund were also opened. The first public water pipe was laid and the village was electrified. It also had its own cemetery. A new school was also built with four teachers teaching there. In 1910 the Müschede volunteer fire brigade was founded. In 1914 the village had around 100 inhabitants, 100 of whom worked in the Sophienhammer . In the First World War 32 Müscheder died as soldiers. In 1932 a new larger church was consecrated. In the last free election for the Reichstag in Berlin on July 31, 1932, the NSDAP received only 11.5% of the votes in Müschede. The Hitler Youth clubhouse was set up in the old church. In the 1930s, a military training area for the Wehrmacht was created on the Spreiberg above the village . On April 13, 1945, US troops occupied the village without a fight. In the Second World War 102 Müsched residents perished. The mayor Wilhelm Cronenberg, who had been deployed by the US troops, organized voluntary self-protection because of attacks by former forced laborers.

Incorporation

Until it was incorporated into the city of Arnsberg according to the provisions of the Sauerland-Paderborn law, Müschede was an independent municipality in the office of Hüsten , whose administrative tasks were taken over by the cities of Arnsberg and Sundern. On January 1, 1975, Müschede was incorporated into the city of Arnsberg with another twelve communities.

Establishments

Two companies well-known beyond the city limits of Arnsberg are the Sophienhammer of the Julius Cronenberg company, founded in 1870, which has developed from a scythe forge into a supplier of street furniture, and the Westphalian paper mill Wepa , which was founded in 1953 by the father of the current owners, Martin, Wolfgang and Jochen Krengel, and its headquarters are in Müschede.

societies

The place Müschede has a lively club life, which is reflected by frequent appointments in the place. The clubs are connected to the local ring, which coordinates the annual dates and looks after certain tasks in village life.

The St. Hubertus Shooting Brotherhood was founded around 1450. In 1883 the men's choir Harmonie was founded as the second club in the village . In 1899 the third club was a warrior club. TuS Müschede was founded in 1907. In 1933 an SGV department was founded.

The largest clubs today are the St. Hubertus Schützenbruderschaft with more than 1000 members, the Turn- und Spielverein Müschede 07 with almost 1000 members, the Musikverein Müschede with around 60 active and 350 passive members and the Müschede Spielmannszug with around 60 active and more than 400 passive members.

A working group for village development and homeland care has been working successfully for some time with the associations on the implementation of an extensive program to increase the attractiveness of the village of Müschede.

The members of SGV Müschede e. V. have built their youth and hiking home on their own, which now serves as a new meeting place.

Events

Every year in July there is a shooting festival in Müschede .
