history

Rimberg's first house was built in 1860. The later Hotel Knoche has developed from the former inn . From 1943 to 1945 it was a maternity home of the National Socialist People's Welfare (NSV). 498 children were born there during this time. Next to the hotel there is a former farm , today a sled dog breed with a guesthouse, and a residential building, now a weekend house. Until the municipal reorganization, Rimberg belonged to the municipality of Bödefeld-Land and was on the border with Fredeburg. On January 1, 1975, the place was incorporated into the city of Schmallenberg.

Heinrich Lübke (1894–1972), Federal Minister for Food, Agriculture and Forestry from 1953 to 1959 and the second Federal President of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1959 to 1969 , stayed at Hotel Knoche from the mid-1950s until shortly before his death. He made sure that the state road 776 at Rimberg was expanded and moved away from the hotel. Photos in the building were reminiscent of the vacations from Lübke until the hotel fire in 2011.

On the night of February 4th to 5th, 2011, the hotel was almost completely destroyed by fire. After the reconstruction, the Hotel Knoche reopened in summer 2013. In 2013 the hotel went bankrupt and has been running under the name Hotel Rimberg since mid-2014 .
