Rumbeck is a district of Arnsberg with 1139 inhabitants and is located on the central Ruhr upstream of the old town between the districts of Oeventrop and Uentrop .

history

Rumbeck was first mentioned in 1185 as a main court of the Counts of Arnsberg , when the Count's House transferred the court to the Wedinghausen Monastery near Arnsberg. From 1193 the Rumbeck monastery was built on the grounds of the farm . This Premonstratensian nunnery determined the development of the settlement for centuries before it was dissolved in the course of secularization in 1804 . In addition, the water power available on site was used since 1749 for the operation of the so-called "Rumbeck hammer" and later also for paper grinding mills. However, both trades could not last long.

The monastery with a parish church and an organ built by Hinrich Klausing around 1700 is still preserved today. The organ still contains pipe material from previous instruments that goes back to the 15th century. It was restored in 2005/2006 by the Hillebrand organ builder , Altwarmbüchen, and today it sounds like it was when it was built in a modified, mean-tone tuning.

On January 1, 1975 Rumbeck was incorporated into the city of Arnsberg.

Today's structure

Today the place is on the route of the A 46 motorway . The next exit is in Uentrop . Except for a few inns, there are hardly any businesses in Rumbeck. There is a food market in the immediately adjacent Arnsberger Stadtbruch. Most of the residents work in other parts of the city of Arnsberg or in other municipalities.

The Mühlbachtal is under nature protection. There are also remains of the monastic pond farming, classified as a soil monument . There is also a poetry trail there.
