history

Obervahlefeld was first mentioned in a document in 900 and 1130, but the time of origin of the settlement is assumed to be between 630 and 700 during the time of the second Saxon conquest. Thus Obervahlefeld is one of the early settlements in Halver.

In the Middle Ages , Obervahlefeld was very likely a manor and manor house that was inhabited by aristocrats and secured with a moat . However, no particular mansion has survived. As Obervahlefeld in the 15./16. Developed into a manor in the 19th century , the farm was around 400 acres in size .

Around 1500 it is documented by documents that the Vahlefeld farm was subject to tax in the Bergisches Amt Beyenburg . The jurisdiction of the court was subordinate to a Bergisch judge specially appointed for the Bergische Höfe in the otherwise Brandenburg- dominated parish of Halver, which often led to a dispute with the Brandenburg count actually responsible for the parish .

In 1818 eight residents lived in Obervahlefeld. According to the Ortschafts- and removal table of the governmental district Arnsberg the place under the name was Obern-Valefeld as Ackergut and former manor categorized and had in 1838 a population of ten, all Protestant faith. At that time, the place belonged to the Kamscheider peasantry within the mayor's office of Halver and owned a residential house and three agricultural buildings.

The municipality lexicon for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives Obervahlefeld a number of 15 residents who lived in two houses.

Since the early Middle Ages (according to other sources since prehistoric times) there was an important old road near Obervahlefeld , the trade , pilgrimage and military route between Hagen and Siegen , today's state road L528. To the northeast of the village, the ravines of the Altstrasse have been preserved and are protected as a cultural monument .
