Location of Vormbaum in Halver

Vormbaum is a court in Halver in the Märkisches Kreis in the administrative district of Arnsberg in North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).

Location and description

Vormbaum is located at 390 meters above sea ​​level in northern Halver on the city limits of Breckerfeld on the Bosseler Bach , a tributary of the Ennepe . To the north of the village rises an elevation at 412.7 meters above sea level. The place can be reached via a side road of the state road L528, which also connects Niedervahlefeld . Other neighboring towns are Kreisch , Vahlefelderheide , Dommelnheide , Grünenbaum , Landwehr and Frettlöh (to Breckerfeld).

history

Vormbaum was first mentioned in a document in 1480, but the origin of the settlement is assumed to be between 900 and 1050 due to the Franconian - Carolingian settlement construction. Vormbaum is probably a split from Niedervahlefeld.

Around 1500 is documented by documents that the Vombaum farm was subject 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, 36 people lived in Vormbaum. According to the location and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg , the place was categorized as a farm and in 1838 had a population of 38, all of whom were Protestant. At that time the place belonged to the Kamscheider peasantry within the mayor's office Halver and had seven houses, a factory or mill and two agricultural buildings.

The municipality lexicon for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 78 inhabitants for Vorm Baum , who lived in eleven houses.

Since the early Middle Ages (according to other information since prehistoric times), two important old roads ran near Vormbaum , on the one hand the trade , pilgrim and military route between Hagen and Siegen (today's state road L528) and on the other hand the old road from Wipperfürth to Breckerfeld to the west . To the north of Vormbaum, a Landwehr blocked these two old roads near the town of Landwehr , which soon joined together. The controlled passage was secured with a barrier and it can be assumed that Vormbaum got its name from this barrier - the settlement in front of the tree .
