history

Mollseifen was founded in 1713 by Count Casimir zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg (1687–1741) to distinguish it from Kurköln and Winterberg.

The most important structures are the Alte Mollseifer Bridge, which was built around 1830 using the arch method and served as a transport link to the neighboring villages. In the vicinity of the town center are the sacrificial stones where the residents of Mollseifen and the neighboring villages held Holy Mass during the Napoleonic Wars in 1811. In 1971 the villagers built a chapel . In the village there is a memorial stone for the Westphalian writer Florentine Goswin-Benfer . In the course of the Sauerland / Paderborn law , the Berleburg office was dissolved on January 1, 1975 and the place Mollseifen, which at that time belonged to the Wittgenstein district , was incorporated into the town of Winterberg in the Hochsauerland district, so Mollseifen is located on a transition area between the Hochsauerland and the Wittgensteiner Land . It is one of the few Protestant places in the Hochsauerlandkreis.
