history

On October 1, 1912, the still undeveloped area around the place was spun off from the municipality of Halver and assigned to the newly founded municipality of Schalksmühle.

Mathagen was built as a single and multi-family housing estate next to the Löh farm on the green meadow in the 1950s / 1960s as a large new building area in Schalksmühle. Several years later, the Mollsiepen multi-family housing estate followed on the other side of the street from the town center to Rotthausen.
