About this picture

Plettenberg ( Westphalian Plettmert ) is a middle district town in the Märkisches Kreis in North Rhine-Westphalia .

geography

location

Plettenberg is located in the west of the Sauerland , between the Lennegebirge in the north and the Ebbegebirge in the south, at the confluence of the Else and the Lenne . The city is traversed by the Greens and Oesterbach . That is why it was given the name "Four Valleys City".

City structure

Plettenberg is not officially divided into districts.

The former municipality of Ohle (2,981 inhabitants) and other places in Plettenberg such as Böddinghausen , Bremcke , Eiringhausen (5,892 inhabitants), Elhausen , Eschen (3,045 inhabitants), Frehlinghausen , Grimminghausen , Himmelmert , Holthausen / upper Elsetal (4,033 inhabitants) Köbbinghausen , Kückelheim , Lettmecke , Oestertal (3,071 inhabitants), Pasel , Selscheid , Siesel , Teindeln and the city center itself (14,012 inhabitants) can still be found in topographic maps today.

history

It is very likely that the core of today's urban area was inhabited by Saxon tribes even before the Carolingian era . In the Elsetal, place names such as Holthausen , Frehlinghausen or Köbbinghausen ( -husen ) indicate an early settlement in Saxon times. In a topographically protected plain not far from the confluence of the Else and Oesterbach rivers, a settlement called Heslipho ( meaning : located on the Elsebach) was built. It became the nucleus of the later city. The role of a spring with particularly good water seems unclear, but the field name Offenborn refers to this.

Plettenberg was first mentioned in 1072 in a document from the Grafschaft monastery as Heslipho . The original noble family von Plettenberg had their headquarters here at the beginning. The Plettonbrath court was mentioned between 1063 and 1078 in a document from the Werden Abbey.

In 1368 Plettenberg was sold to the Duke of Kleve . In 1397 the settlement was granted city rights by Count Dietrich II von der Mark . Ten years earlier, Plettenberg had received a letter of freedom from Count Engelbert III. received from the mark . Despite the city elevation, Plettenberg remained forbidden as a bone of contention for the Cologne archbishops, the construction of a city wall as a clearly sovereign complex. It was not until 1500 that the fortification of Plettenberg (until then a moat and wall system with wooden palisades) was replaced by a city wall. At the same time, the settlement was significantly enlarged towards the north (today the area of ​​the Alter Markt and Untertor). The city fortifications had two gates. The Obertor led over a bridge over the Oesterbach onto the road towards Attendorn (today Maiplatz), the Untertor led onto the road towards Arnsberg (today Bahnhofstrasse). After the great fire of 1725, the gates and large parts of the city wall were torn down and the old moat was built over. Only in the area of Neue Straße was an old gate until about 1800, probably the lower gate from the 14th century.

Schwarzenberg
Drostenhaus Castle

Little remains of the original structure. In the center there is a small historical core around the Christ Church from the 13th century, in the district of Ohle the old village church. Schwarzenberg Castle is only preserved as a ruin . The dark mill from the 13th century existed until the 1950s.

In 1622/23, during the Thirty Years' War , which claimed many victims in Plettenberg, the city was occupied by Spaniards who had to be supplied for 38 weeks. In a raid in 1634, Plettenberg was devastated and looted. In 1666 the city of Brandenburg-Prussia was struck. One year after the outbreak of a Dutch-French war , Plettenberg received a letter of protection from the Electorate of Cologne- Munster-French in 1673 . Nevertheless, French troops invaded the Brandenburg region in 1679, and Plettenberg had to pay large taxes.

On April 12, 1725, a city fire destroyed 94 percent of the buildings, and even all of the buildings within the city wall were destroyed. After that, the residents rebuilt the city as true to the original as possible.

Since 1735 the town and the office of Plettenberg was subordinate to the Altena district . There was a homeless shelter in Plettenberg as early as 1750. Between 1807 and 1815, the city and office were occupied by France and were incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Berg . In 1816, Plettenberg was assigned to the Arnsberg administrative district and the Altena district.

Plettenberg in 1869

During the industrialization , the first metalworking companies developed in the valleys on the rivers, which processed the local ore with water power . Heavy industry in particular benefited from the construction of the Ruhr-Sieg railway line from 1860 . Only eight years before that, the Plettenbergers had gone through an economic crisis.

Plettenberg was largely spared from the Second World War ; In 1944 a bomber crashed just beyond the city. In 1945 Plettenberg was occupied by the US Army's 75th Infantry Division .

In the 1960s, the city was completely redeveloped. B. the historic city center and the Plettenberger Kleinbahn lost. They had to give way to large streets and a pedestrian zone.

Incorporations

In 1891 the municipality of Ohle was transferred from the Neuenrade office to the Plettenberg office. On April 1, 1941, the municipalities of the office (Ohle and Plettenberg-Land ) and the city of Plettenberg merged to form the new city of Plettenberg as part of a municipal reorganization .

Economy and Infrastructure

Downtown

The Plettenberg economy has its origins in iron processing , which in turn is based on mining in the Sauerland . Many of the old companies used the Lenne's hydropower directly in Hammerschmieden or later via run-of-river power plants , of which there are two in Plettenberg: the Siesel hydropower plant and the Ohle hydropower plant . Many companies are closely linked to the automotive industry and machine and vehicle construction , including Seissenschmidt , which was founded in 1846, Schmiedetechnik Plettenberg GmbH & Co.KG as well as Rasche Umformtechnik GmbH & Co KG as a supplier to the automotive industry and Ohler Eisenwerk, which operates under the Plettenberg honorary citizen Walter Pfeiffer with 1,200 employees was Plettenberg's largest company. Otherwise, small and medium-sized structures predominate. The area of steel deformation is dominant ( cold rolling mills , hammer forging, drop forging ). The scaffolding builder Plettac AG was for a long time the most successful and best-selling company in the city and initially achieved high capitalization through the successful IPO in the early 1990s. As a result, the company , which has since been listed in the DAX , got into trouble and in 2000 was one of the biggest capital destroyers on the German stock market. Most of the jobs at the Plettenberg site were retained due to the bankruptcy initiated in 2003. Today at Dura Automotive Systems owned company Wilhelm Schade Metallwarenfabrik was from Anne Rose Iber-pity led.

67 percent of those in employment in Plettenberg work in manufacturing, 32 percent in the service sector and only about one percent in agriculture . Out of a thousand inhabitants, 280 are employed in industry (national average 85, state average NRW 95).

traffic

Road traffic

The connection in the direction of Werdohl and Lüdenscheid with the motorway connection there to the A 45 takes place via the federal road 236 to Werdohl and then the federal road 229 . Finnentrop and Lennestadt can also be reached via federal highway 236.

The connection via Affeln in the direction of Neuenrade and the Hönnetal takes place to Affeln via the L697 and from Affeln via the L842.

The west bypass, a project to bypass Bahnhofstrasse, which includes two bridges and the 734 meter long Hestenberg tunnel, was opened on November 10, 2006.

Originally, a federal motorway A 54 (also formerly known in part as A 208) was supposed to run from the Dutch border at Brunssum via Puffendorf , Bergheim , Langenfeld , Solingen , Remscheid , Radevormwald , Halver , Lüdenscheid and Werdohl to Plettenberg in the Sauerland . The crossing point with the then already existing A 45 motorway would have been south of today's exit 13 Lüdenscheid-Nord. Except for two sections, today's A 542 and the state road 141n running through the Solingen city ​​area, the A 54 was never completed.

Train traffic

Station building (2007)

The Plettenberg train station is located in the district of Eiringhausen on the Ruhr-Sieg line opened by Deutsche Bahn AG in 1861 .

The train station, its surroundings and the pedestrian underpass were rebuilt between 2005 and 2010 for around eight million euros. In addition, elevators have been integrated into the infrastructure and the platforms have been completely renewed. This makes the station barrier-free .

From 1896 to 1962, the urban area was opened up for passenger and goods traffic by a steam-powered small train, the Plettenberger Straßenbahn AG .

From 1915 to 1996 the Deutsche Bundesbahn or its predecessor companies operated the Plettenberg – Herscheid railway line , which also opened up the western part of the city area. However, passenger traffic was stopped as early as 1965. As a Sauerland small railway , museum operations take place here in sections today.

At the beginning of the 20th century there were plans to link the Volmetalbahn (Hagen – Dieringhausen railway) with the Plettenberg – Herscheid railway over a route in the urban area of Lüdenscheid and Herscheid, thus creating a connection between the Volme and Lennetal. However, this failed due to the high construction costs. The earthworks would have already been carried out beyond Herscheid. In the course of the First World War, however, the plans were not pursued further because the necessary financial resources were lacking. In the 1920s, the municipality of Herscheid tried to revive the construction of the railway. But at the latest with the onset of rapid inflation in the course of the global economic crisis, the topic of railway construction was done. And later, motor traffic finally became established on the roads in Germany. The section would have covered around 33.9 kilometers. Due to the mountainous topography in the Sauerland , the planning envisaged mighty tunnels, bridges or underpasses, such as on the ridge between the Verse and the Ahetal, where a tunnel with a length of 650 meters was planned. Another tunnel with a length of approx. 300 meters would have run in Herscheid from the Helle to below the Schützenhalle. A total of four tunnels with a total length of 2175 meters were planned. The estimated costs for the tunnels amounted to 1.84 million marks. The Royal Railway Directorate put the total cost of the route at 9.8 million marks, which would have been 289,100 marks per rail kilometer.

Bus transport

The bus traffic today is mainly carried out by the Märkische Verkehrsgesellschaft (MVG) and the Busverkehr Ruhr-Sieg (BRS) as well as the Plettenberg public bus .

Bicycle traffic

The Lenneroute , a cycle path that connects the Sauerland with the Ruhr area , runs through Plettenberg .

media

The regional daily newspaper is the Süderländer Tageblatt . The local radio for North Rhine-Westphalia is carried out in Plettenberg by Radio MK , which is assigned the broadcasting location no. 72, frequency 99.5, by the State Agency for Media.
