Fire station Ohle

In the 8th century, the settlement of the area around today's Ohle, the Hünenburg, was initiated with the construction of a fortress on the Sundern . The chapel in Ohle, which belonged to the Attendorn deanery, is documented from 1072. Brüninghausen Castle was first mentioned in documents in 1311 as a fiefdom of the Archbishop of Cologne. From 1400 Ohle is subordinate to the Neuenrade office. In 1890 the community Ohle was included in the association of the Office Plettenberg. The Protestant parish church dates from the first half of the 13th century and is the only example of a choir tower church in Westphalia .

The Ohle volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1908.

On October 1, 1934, parts of the area were incorporated into the rural community of Plettenberg . On April 1, 1941 Ohle was incorporated into Plettenberg.
