The suffix -ohl , which is quite common in place names in the north-western Sauerland, means “moist meadow ground between a river bend and the foot of the mountain”.

Industrial history

Rummenohl has been a site of the small iron industry for centuries , which has used the water power of the Volme to process iron ore from the Siegerland . The opening of freight traffic from Hagen to Bruges and on to Meinerzhagen on March 16, 1874 on the single-track Volmetalbahn improved the connection to the up-and-coming Ruhr area . At the beginning of 1996, goods traffic via Bruges to Lüdenscheid was stopped.

There were plans to implement the Volmetalbahn from Dortmund via Hagen to Lüdenscheid as a light rail . The tram should run directly from Dortmund city center via Hagen city center to downtown Lüdenscheid . In 1997, a concept for the Hagen regional light rail system was presented, which was rejected for reasons of cost despite the transport benefits.

At the beginning of the 1870s, Alfred Nobel founded a dynamite manufacturing factory in Rummenohl , which exploded on June 5, 1910 after being struck by lightning.

At the beginning of the 20th century a powder factory was built in the Sterbecketal and started production in 1908. This was operated by the company Castroper Sicherheitssprengstoff , popularly known as explosives or yellow hand , because contact with the chemicals stained the skin of the hands yellow. In times of peace 100 people were employed here, in World War I this number rose to over 2,000. During times of war, mainly mines , cartridges and fillings for grenades were produced, later again explosives for road construction and mines. A factory railway ran between the Volmetalbahn and the remote factory building on the high altitude near Selkinghausen , overcoming the difference in altitude in several serpentines. From 1926 the factory was gradually shut down. After the Second World War, the buildings were used as accommodation for bombed out and refugees. In the 1960s, most of the buildings were demolished in the course of the construction of the A 45 .

In 1901, the native Hülscheid master baker Hermann Dresel and his wife Ida bought the old post office in Rummenohl and founded the Pension Dresel , which has existed to this day.

In 1952 the grain mill on the northern edge of Rummenohl and the former smithy (Krummewiese / Rummenohl), which had been in operation here since 1824, were shut down.
