history

Obercarthausen was first mentioned in a document in 1462, but the time of origin of the settlement is assumed to be between 1050 and 1200 as a result of the clearing phase after the high medieval territorial formation. Obercarthausen was a split from Carthausen. Ashey , first mentioned in 1799 , a split from Obercarthausen, has grown together with the settlements today.

In 1818 there were 43 residents in the village. In 1838, Obercarthausen belonged to the Gloerfeld peasantry under the name of Obern-Karthausen within the Halver mayor . The place, which was categorized as a courtyard according to the location and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg , had eight houses, four factories or mills and four agricultural buildings at that time. At that time 50 people lived in the place, all of them Protestant faith.

The municipality encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 66 inhabitants who lived in ten houses.
