Location of Walde in Halver

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

Location and description

Walde is located in the west of the Halveraner urban area on the federal road 229 near Schwenke . The other neighboring towns are Schüreichhofen , Niederennepe , Eschen , Bärendahl and Büchenbaum . A tributary of the Ennepe rises in the village .

To the north, the terrain rises to a 405 meter high elevation east of Schwenke. To the southwest is the route of the disused Wuppertal Railway with the Schwenke station.

history

Walde was first mentioned in a document in 1480, but the time of origin of the settlement is assumed to be between 1050 and 1200 as a result of the clearing phase after the high medieval territorial formation. Walde was a split from the Niederennepe court.

Around 1500 it is documented by documents that the Walde farm was subject to tax in 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 30 people lived in the village. In 1838, under the name of Wald , Walde belonged to the Eickhöfer farming community within the Halver mayor . The place, which was categorized as a courtyard according to the location and distance table of the government district of Arnsberg , had three residential buildings, a factory or mill and four agricultural buildings at that time. At that time, 32 residents lived in the village, two of them Catholic and 30 Protestant.

The community encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of 19 residents who lived in three houses.

At least since the early Middle Ages (according to other information since prehistoric times) an old road ran between Wipperfürth and Breckerfeld through the valley of the Ennepe past today's forest, which was part of a trade and military route between Cologne and Hagen .
