history

In the 14th century the Schultenhof in Merklinghausen belonged to the noble house Ewig. The farm was first documented in 1413, when the Attendorner citizen Alike Koken said Hannes to watch Recklinghausen sold for 26 florins a pledge shaft on a piece of land forever. In 1559 a newly built hammer was mentioned in Merklinghausen. The married couple Caspar and Cecilia zu Merkelinchusen are named in two sales documents from 1580 . In 1628 Friedrich Mähler compared to Spedinghausen and that of Heggen over the hammer to Mercklinghausen. In 1631 Caspar von Heggen redeemed the Schultenhof zu Merklinghausen from Cornelius Zeppenfeldt against reimbursement of 800 Reichstalers .

According to a more recent study of the place names in the district of Olpe, the name component -inghusen (New High German: -hausen) is to be attached to the personnel name trunk Marka (Old Saxon: border, border mark, area). As an interpretation of the place name, the form modified into the nickname Markilo is suggested ( in the houses of the people of Markilo ).

Politically, Merklinghausen was formerly part of the Waldenburg office and in the Gogericht and parish of Attendorn it was part of the Albringhausen peasantry , which also included surrounding towns such as paper mill, Listerscheid , Wamge and the like a. belonged to. In the treasury register of 1543, a Johann Butte zu Merklinghaußen with a fee of one gold gulden is named in the “ Burschetzt Ailberinghausen ” with 26 taxpayers .

According to the pension book, there were two goods there in the 17th century, “the foremost good” and “the upper good”. The foremost was a large estate and belonged to the Ewig monastery , bought in 1680 when the farm was still desolate , by the von Droste zu Erwitte family . In 1755 the estate was called "In den Erlen" and at the end of the 18th century it was managed by Kaspar Schneider. In the 1870s, the Schneider family emigrated to America.

The upper estate was a Kötterhof, called "Büchten Gut", and also belonged to the Ewig monastery. It was also bought by the von Droste zu Erwitte noble family on September 10, 1676. In the 18th century this property was no longer mentioned. The monastery seems to have combined its entire property in Merklinghausen into one large “Gut Erlen”. From the end of the 19th century, the landowner was the farmer Josef Marcus from Langenohl . In the course of the 20th century the farm was given up and the property was divided.

Hammerplatz on the Ihne near Merklinghausen, temporarily owned by the Ewig Monastery, was given to Ferd in 1760. Anton Ludger Bischopnick, Arnsberg , awarded in 1778 invested at Franz Sommer from coupon . Around 1800 it was called a stick hammer with three fires. After a long standstill, small ironware was finally manufactured there by the Attendorn company A. A. Ursell until the 1880s. In 1791 there was a lead mine at Birkeshardt, a fief of Christoph Schütz from a paper mill.

In its heyday from 1875 to 1925, the stone industry played a major role in the lower Ihnetal. Gravel, cobblestones and masonry stones were extracted from the quarries around Merklinghausen, as evidenced by the many names with the job title "quarry workers" in the address books of that time. The former quarry on Birkeshardt is now the protected landscape component of the “Bigge steep slope Merklinghausen”.

In 1936 Merklinghausen had 5 houses with 13 households and 50 residents. The address book from 1956 in Merklinghausen has the names “Barth (2), Christes, Exner, Glasow, Kröger (4), Lichterkus, Maroski, Müller, Neuhaus, Pitschner, Schmidt (3), Schrutek, Sondermann, Stump, Vandreyer and Vogelsang (4) “. In 1988 the place had 32 inhabitants.

Today Kröger Stahlumformung GmbH (drop forge, founded in 1884) is located on the railway line and on the riverbank.

From 1819 Merklinghausen belonged in the Attendorn office to the Attendorn-Land community until it was incorporated into the city of Attendorn in 1969.
