history

Oeckinghausen was first mentioned in a document in 1430, but the origin of the settlement ( -inghausen -form) is assumed to be between 500 and 550 as a result of the first Saxon conquest. Oeckinghausen is one of the oldest settlements in Halver.

Around 1500 it is documented by documents that the Oeckinghausen court was liable to 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 72 people lived in the village. In 1838 Oeckinghausen belonged as a titular place to the Oeckinghauser peasantry within the mayor's office of Halver . The place categorized as a village according to the place and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg had 14 houses, six factories or mills and eleven agricultural buildings at that time. At that time there were 121 people living in the village, all of whom were evangelical.

The community encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 167 inhabitants who lived in 17 houses.

Oeckinghausen had a stop on the Hälvertalbahn . The Oeckinghauser Schleifkotten was located near Oeckinghausen .
