history

Stenkenberg was first mentioned in a document in 1420, but the time of origin of the settlement is assumed to have been between 1200 and 1300 at the end of the medieval clearing period. Stenkenberg is a split in the Lausberge estate .

Around 1500 it is documented by documents that half of the Stenkenberg farm was liable for taxes to the Bergisches Amt_Beyenburg . The jurisdiction of the court was subordinate to a Bergisch judge specially appointed for the Bergische Höfe in the otherwise Brandenburg- dominated parish of Halver, which often led to a dispute with the Brandenburg count actually responsible for the parish .

In 1818 there were 24 residents in the village. In 1838, Stenkenberg belonged to the Lausberg farmers within the Halver mayor . The place, which was categorized as a farm according to the location and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg , had three houses, four factories or mills and two agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 30 residents lived in the village, all of whom were Protestant.

The community encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 24 residents who lived in five houses.
