Oberhemer is a former independent municipality in the Iserlohn district , which merged with Niederhemer to form the municipality of Hemer in 1910 . Since the municipal reorganization, which came into force on January 1, 1975, Oberhemer has been a district of the new town of Hemer.

history

A settlement in Oberhemer existed since the early Middle Ages in the form of an upper courtyard of the Grafschaft monastery . The aristocratic seat, known as Hedhof , remained in existence until the 18th century, but in 1755 it was largely derelict. Thereupon the name no longer appeared; the cutlery company Clarfeld took over the property.

From 1647 Niederhemer belonged to the Hemer court ; under Napoleon it became part of the Mairie, later part of the mayor's office of Hemer. In 1841 the Amt Hemer was founded with the central communities Oberhemer and Niederhemer . These two communities were united on April 1, 1910 to form the new rural community Hemer.

At the beginning of the 20th century, in contrast to many other municipalities, Oberhemer was shaped by industry. The metal processing industry (rolling mills, screws, rivets, etc.) had its focus there. However, since the social structure of Niederhemer, which is also industrialized, continued to deteriorate compared to the neighboring community, a union was successfully promoted.
