Waldhausen belongs to the Mülheim / Möhne parish and is a district of the city of Warstein in the Soest district in North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ). As of January 1, 2017, it had 301 inhabitants.
Today's district of Waldhausen has been part of the Mülheim parish since ancient times. Waldhausen is probably not much younger than Mülheim. In the document from 1072 for Mülheim it is not mentioned. However, Waldhausen may have been included in the expressly named courtyards “in hare Velde”, and that means that the settlement for the year 1072 would be proven. But you do not know and therefore you can only stick to the secure documentary documents from 1293 and later.
Johann von der Recke, who owned a farm (mansus) within a medieval manorial estate “sit in Waldhysen” (located in Waldhausen), is named in a list of goods from the Westphalia Marshal's Office. This concerns a castle man from Schloss Volmarstein, who was very wealthy in the Möhnetal at that time.
Another document from the years 1281–1313 deals with the list of goods of the Count of Arnsberg. In the same it says: “It. ant. dictus sc. avde I mansus in Ostentorpe (east of Westendorf), et I mans in Walthusen, b. m. I mans ”.
Finally, another message from Seibertz about the existence of the County of Arnsberg from March 21, 1348 says that Waldhausen belongs to the parish of Mülheim.
Furthermore, it says in the same source that around 1350 a N. von Waldhusen lived in Waldhausen, whose unnamed son was a Teutonic Knight in Livonia. The village is said to have been called "Waldhausen" only after later years, but it still had the character of individual farmsteads. These homesteads are said to have been in the "Hausstedde". At the place of today's Waldhausen there was probably still dense forest.
The area around Waldhausen was certainly inhabited earlier. Archaeological finds in the nearer region suggest an earlier settlement. The events that occurred in the following centuries convey a picture of Waldhausen that extends into the most recent times: Agriculture was and still is of great importance, once under the rule of the Teutonic Knights in Mülheim or under various tithe owners, later as private property.
The historical development of Waldhausen was not linear. Great times of need also brought some suffering for Waldhausen and its residents, so that we can assume that today's village of Waldhausen owes its existence to the repeated resettlement by the Teutonic Knights.
In 1625, Commander Rab Dietrich von Ovelacker built a chapel, which in 1923 had to give way to a new church. According to ancient traditions, it was intended as a plague chapel, but because of the numerous deaths in those years, it became a burial place. There is no evidence of this tradition. An indication, however, is the fact that numerous remains of bones were found when the new school was built in 1887 and when the schoolyard was expanded in 1911. So the place at the chapel could actually have been the burial place for plague deaths. Since Waldhausen was never a pastor, the establishment of a regular cemetery is out of the question.
Another part of Waldhausen is the Bauer shaft Echelnpöten (formerly Egelnpöten). Its age goes back at least several centuries. If the name “in hare” also includes “Egelnpöten” in the master certificate for Mülheim, the origin would be clear. A chapel was built here in the 17th century. But the origin of the settlement will be much further back. From the year 1685 there is a head treasury register of the state archive in Arnsberg, which mentions the former farms by name. The name Egelnpöten could be interpreted as acorns and pods, as it was then written in a document in 1685 as “Egelnpoeten” and popularly called “Ekelnpoiten”. At that time fertile oak stocks were undoubtedly present on the calcareous subsoil of the area, and larger ponds or ponds, poites; was known there 70 years ago in the form of small quarries or marl pits.
The first houses and cottages for the sons of the old farming families were built along the Haarweg around 1840. In 1844 the Schulte family from Waldhausen built a new property on the Haar, the Tommeshof. The property is now owned by the Schirk family. Franz Schirk built a chapel in 1923/24 on the former place of a holy house .
People settled to the right and left of the route in the then “Pempelfurt” or “Taubeneiche” area. The name “Pempelfurt” in this context is likely to have been derived from the route taken by the Waldhausen residents to the pond to Sichtigvor / Mülheim in the dry summer months; it appears almost exclusively until the middle of the 19th century. The name "Taubeneiche", which is used again today, refers to the former forest cover in this area south of Waldhausen. The windfall is the northernmost parcel of the old parish and border to Mellrich . The Beele family now lives in the only house left. Waldhausen, Taubeneiche and Eeltepöten form one of the nine districts of the city of Warstein since the municipal reorganization that came into effect on January 1st, 1975.
