Neuastenberg is a district of Winterberg in the Hochsauerlandkreis , North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany . With a little less than 400 inhabitants, it is the second largest “hill village” in the city.

Geographical location

Neuastenberg lies on the main ridge of the Rothaargebirge , over which the Rhine-Weser watershed runs, on the southern slope of the Kahler Asten . It is located about 5 km (as the crow flies ) southwest of Winterberg city center between the sources and upper reaches of the Lenne (northwest), which rises near the Asten summit, and the Odeborn (southeast), which flows from the southeast slope of the mountain, at around 680 to 780  m above sea level. NN . The neighboring “Höhendörfer” are Lenneplätze and the Langewiese to the southwest . The Gerkenstein ( 792.7  m above sea level ) lies west of Neuastenberg .

Coming from Langewiese, through Neuastenberg, in the direction of Kahler Asten and Winterberg, there is a common section of federal highways 236 and 480 , which is part of the Hochsauerland-Höhenstraße holiday route .

history

The history of Neuastenberg goes back to the 18th century and is closely linked to the history of Winterberg and Bad Berleburg . It was founded by Count Casimir von Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg . In contrast to the rest of Sayn-Wittgenstein , the village was predominantly of Catholic faith. A first Catholic chapel is mentioned for 1810, but it burned down a few months later. An independent parish was founded in 1876. The Laurentiuskirche is in the village . In the course of the Sauerland / Paderborn law , the Berleburg office was dissolved on January 1, 1975 and the place was incorporated into the town of Winterberg. It is therefore one of the few evangelical places in the Hochsauerlandkreis. From a historical and cultural point of view, Neuastenberg is counted on the outskirts of the Wittgensteiner Land .
