history

The origins of Schweflinghausen lay in the medieval farming community of Schweflinghausen in the Schwelm court of the Wetter district of Brandenburg . After the conquest by Napoleon Bonaparte , the county of Mark was acquired by his brother-in-law Joachim Murat on April 24, 1806 together with the previously annexed Duchy of Kleve on the left bank of the Rhine, the Duchy of Berg on the right bank of the Rhine , the counties of Dortmund and Limburg as well as the northern part of the Principality of Münster and other territories united in the Grand Duchy of Berg .

Soon after the takeover, the French administration in the Grand Duchy began to introduce new and modern administrative structures based on the French model. By August 3, 1806, this municipal reform replaced and unified the old Brandenburg offices and lords. It provided for the creation of departments , arrondissements , cantons and municipalities (called Mairies from the end of 1808) and broke with the old nobility prerogatives in local government. On November 14th, 1808, this process was completed after a reorganization of the first structuring of 1806, the old farmers were often retained and were assigned to the respective Mairies or cantons as rural communities. The farming community in Schweflinghausen was assigned to the Mairie Ennepe in the canton of Schwelm in the arrondissement of Hagen as a rural community .

In 1813 the French withdrew from the Grand Duchy after the defeat in the Battle of Leipzig and from the end of 1813 it fell under the provisional administration of Prussia in the so-called Generalgouvernement between Weser and Rhine , which was finally awarded it by the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna in 1815. With the formation of the Prussian province of Westphalia in 1815, the existing administrative structures were largely retained and converted into Prussian districts , mayorships and municipalities while maintaining the French borders . Schweflinghausen has now become a rural community in the Ennepe mayor of the Hagen district .

In 1839 Schweflinghausen was divided into the two school districts Rüggeberg (eastern part) and Stucken (western part). The places and places to live in Schweflinghausen at this time included (original spelling):

In 1818 a total of 534 inhabitants lived in the community of Schweflinghausen. According to the locality and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg , the community had a total of 813 inhabitants in 1838, which was divided into twelve Catholic and 801 Protestant community members. The mayor's quarters comprised a church, three schools, 98 apartment buildings, 15 factories and mills and 66 farm buildings.

With the entry into force of the Prussian rural community order for the province of Westphalia in 1843 the superior mayor's office of Ennepe was converted into the Ennepe office, while Schweflinghausen remained in the community association. On April 1, 1887, the Schwelm district was re-established from the western part of the Hagen district. The Ennepe office with Schweflinghausen was now part of the new district.

The municipality encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a population of 1,015 for the municipality Schweflinghausen (992 Protestant and 23 Catholic faith), who lived in 34 places with a total of 139 houses and 192 households. The area of ​​the municipality (1,311 hectares ) is divided into 433 hectares of arable land, 93 hectares of meadows and 693 hectares of forest.

In addition to the above, the following places are listed: Schlagbaum , Altenhaus , Höltchen , Lienkämper and Singerhof . In the edition for 1895, the Thalsperre and Vorhaus were added. In the 1905 edition, Grünthal and Schönthal are mentioned for the first time .

On April 1, 1923, the community of Schweflinghausen was dissolved and merged with the also dissolved communities of Oelkinghausen and Mühlinghausen to form the community of Milspe . The higher-level office Ennepe was also renamed to the office Milspe , which now only consisted of the municipality of Milspe. On June 1, 1937, was awarded the Office Voerde for office Milspe-VOERDE together, which in turn was converted to the city Ennepetal on 1 April 1949th
