Niederschelderhütte is a district of the local community Mudersbach in the Altenkirchen district (Westerwald) in Rhineland-Palatinate . It is located near the federal motorway 45 with the Siegen junction and the Siegtalbrücke , which can be seen from the village. Neighboring regions are the Sauerland and the Westerwald . On June 30, 2011, the Niederschelderhütte had 3199 inhabitants. Niederelderhütte was formerly an independent municipality .
history
Due to the territorial fragmentation of the German territories existed before 1680 prohibiting development of today's area of Niederschelderhütte, only the Schelder hut , a refining plant for the smelting of iron, was there as early as 1444. The area as well as the cabin were from Siegen-Nassau Niederschelden from managed, but territorially like Mudersbach it belonged to the County of Sayn and later to the Duchy of Saxony-Eisenach . Due to the borderline, there was a customs post near the Schelder Hut from 1690. The Schelden wind player Georg Giebeler, who had lost his house in Schelden due to financial misery, found accommodation in a coal shed at the customs station. His son Johs Giebeler wanted to build a massive house there. A contract stipulated that the house should be in place of the customs post and that no further house should be built there. The brother-in-law of Johs Giebeler, a blue-footed hunter from Saxony, then became a customs leaseholder and, despite the prohibition of further construction, built a new customs house there, which he later expanded to include an apartment for his children. After the arrival of the Brandenburg-Anolsbacher in the Sayn-Eisenach area, Giebeler and Jäger became members of the Mudersbach council. In 1744 the name Niederschelderhütte was introduced for the settlement consisting of three buildings . In 1797 there were only two houses there, in 1845 there were five houses with around 35 residents.
The commissioning of the railroad from 1861 and the strong upswing in mining in the region resulted in an equally strong growth of the settlement in the second half of the 19th century. In 1873 there were already 52 houses. In 1883 a brewery was established in the village. The construction of the new steelworks Charlottenhütte from 1898 then led to a real population explosion. In 1905 there were 206 houses with 2035 residents. Niederschelderhütte had thus more than surpassed the main town of Mudersbach in terms of population, with the Niederschelderhütte representatives forming the majority in the municipal council. Along with the growth of the settlement, an infrastructure was created there: in 1891/92 a first (Protestant) school was built in Niederscheldenhütte, which had to be expanded in 1904. A Catholic school was built in 1901, but a little later it was left to the Protestant school, so that in 1910 another Catholic school was built. Cemeteries were also built in 1867, 1903 and 1931.
Efforts are made again and again to unite the two towns of Niederschelden / Niederschelderhütte politically by moving the Niederschelderhütte to Siegen. So far they have failed.
traffic
Niederschelderhütte is connected to the BAB 45 via the road. On the Cologne – Siegen railway line , the Niederschelden train station is in the area of the village. The lines RB 90 and RB 93 stop here every half hour every day, as do individual trains on the Rhein-Sieg-Express (RE 9). The Niederelden Nord stop, which is only served by RB trains, is already on the other side of the town border, in North Rhine-Westphalia. Between 1941 and 1969, the Niederschelderhütte was connected to Siegen via a line of the Siegen trolleybus of the Siegen-Wittgenstein district railway. In the coming years, the federal highway 62 in the center of the town will be relieved considerably by the connection to the Hüttentalstraße .
Industry and economy
The Erzquell brewery is located in the village of Niederschelderhütte . Until the 1990s, the steelworks was also a large local employer. The halls of the steelworks and the slag dump of the former Charlottenhütte in Niederschelden , founded on January 28, 1864, are still standing today ; they bear witness to the local industry.
