Niederschelden (also called Schelden ) is a district of Siegen .
geography
The district is located in the southwest of the city, is part of the city district VI (south) and forms the border with the Altenkirchen district in Rhineland-Palatinate . Niederschelden has long since grown together with the neighboring Mudersbacher district of Niederschelderhütte . The place is in the Siegtal between 220 and 330 m altitude. The Gosenbach flows into the Sieg at the border to the Niederschelderhütte . To the north lies the 413 m high Rothenberg.
Niederschelden borders Gosenbach and Siegen in the north, Eiserfeld in the east and southeast, Niederschelderhütte (Mudersbach) in the west and Oberschelden in the far west.
history
The settlement in the local area took place in the "Franconian Landquisition" between 720 and 800 AD. The first written mention of the town of Niederschelden as "Schelte" is dated February 22, 1330. The mill ditch was dug in 1342, and on this occasion the old mill is documented for the first time in the same year. In 1682 a new chapel school with a classroom was built and inaugurated on the grounds of the castle school. It was demolished in 1907. In 1695 Georg Giebeler left the place due to high debts and settled in today's Niederschelderhütte. He couldn't be followed there. He is the first resident of Niederschelderhütte.
Like the rest of the Siegerland , the place has been shaped by iron ore mining over the past two millennia . In 1417 there was already a hut in Niederschelden. In 1742 a copper smelter was first mentioned above the village on the site of today's Pocheweiher. In 1863 the foundation stone was laid for the Charlottenhütte , later one of the most important huts in the Siegerland. It was not shut down until 1981. From 1465 ore mining can also be attested in Niederschelden. The Alte Dreisbach mine was mentioned for the first time. Up until 1928, it was mainly used to mine iron ore from a depth of up to 850 m. In 1885 it was 22,534 t. It was the deepest pit in the local area and the last to be closed. Most of the other pits were loaned out in the 19th century. The second largest operation was the United Henriette consolidation pit near the border with Niederschelderhütte. It was created on July 23, 1870 through the consolidation of several small businesses. By the end of 1923, around 400,000 t of iron ore had been mined. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, cobalt mining on the Sieg also flourished in Niederschelden. The most important pits were Bunte Kuh (1780–1903) and Junkernburg (around 1770–1903). The latter later belonged to the Gosenbach iron ore mine Storch & Schöneberg .
In 1839 the construction of the road between Siegen and Niederschelden began. It was opened to traffic in 1844. The groundbreaking ceremony for the new railway line, which opened in 1861, took place in 1856. A trip from Niederschelden to Siegen cost 15 pfennigs in the fourth car class.
In 1870/71 a new school was built, today's Alte Burgschule. In 1963 the local council decided to build a primary school with 14 classes. The construction costs were estimated at 2.5 million DM. It could be inaugurated only four years later. Also in 1963 the eight-class extension of the Dreisbach school was inaugurated. The high school was built in 1973, and the circular gymnasium was built a year later. In 1892 a new Protestant church was consecrated. In 1957 the Catholic St. Liborius Church was consecrated.
On July 20, 1881, a storm caused severe damage to the village after weeks of persistent heat.
The Erzquell Brewery Siegtal was founded by Hermann Burgmann and Heinrich Wildenberg in 1885.
In 1815 Niederschelden became Prussian. In 1878 Niederschelden was separated from the Weidenau office and assigned to the newly formed Eiserfeld office. Until 1966, Niederschelden belonged to the Eiserfeld office, became part of the independent town of Eiserfeld on July 1, 1966 as part of the municipal reorganization and has belonged to the town of Siegen since January 1, 1975. The place celebrated its 675th anniversary in 2005.
Efforts are made again and again to unite the two towns of Niederschelden / Niederschelderhütte politically by moving the Niederschelderhütte to Siegen. So far, however, they have failed due to a lack of political will in Mainz and Düsseldorf.

Transport links
- Rail transport
The Niederschelden train station and the Niederschelden Nord stop are on the Sieg line (Cologne – Siegen). Both stations are currently operated by the regional train lines RB 90 (Limburg (Lahn) - Westerburg - Altenkirchen - Au (Sieg) - Betzdorf - Siegen) and RB 93 (Betzdorf (Sieg) - Siegen - Kreuztal - Bad Berleburg) of the Hessian State Railway HLB after the Rhineland-Palatinate service with a full-day, 30-minute service on working days (otherwise at least every hour) in the direction of Siegen and Betzdorf. In addition, individual trains of the RE 9 line stop in the Niederelden station in the morning towards Cologne and in the afternoon and late evening from Cologne. The Niederelden Nord train stop is the only stop in the Siegen city area that is completely barrier-free, apart from the Siegen main train station. Ground-level access to the platforms is possible at any time without outside help and without prior notification. All stopping trains have a boarding height of 55 cm, which corresponds to the renovated platform height.
- Road traffic
Niederschelden is on the federal highway 62 , which leads from Siegen to Mudersbach and Kirchen in Rhineland-Palatinate. At the border to Niederschelderhütte, the road 283 branches off from the old B 62 in the direction of Gosenbach. The place is connected to the Autobahn 45 via the Siegener driveway . In 2010, the plans to continue building Hüttentalstrasse , which ended in the Dreisbachsiedlung at the time, were taken up again. These plans included the continuation of the route to just beyond the state border of Rhineland-Palatinate with the Bühl tunnel and two separate exits. The route in Niederschelden was then built until 2016. The completed road merges into the old B 62 in Niederschelderhütte.
School and free time
school
There are four kindergartens in Niederschelden; one in the extreme south on the B 62, two are in the center of the village, the fourth is in the Dreisbach in the former elementary school.

The Niederschelden club "Sport" as well as the FC Borussia founded in the same year and the club "Einigkeit" from Gosenbach were founded in 1908 and in 1911 became the "Spielvereinigung Niederschelden", which in 1925 became the SuS Niederschelden / Gosenbach . The club's first soccer team played between 1947 and 1960 in what was then the highest amateur class in Westphalia.
At the western end of the village there is the Rosengarten sports field as well as a sports center and a shooting range. In the center of the village is the striking and highly visible circular gymnasium and a school sports facility.
