Location of Wildbergerhütte in Reichshof

Wildbergerhütte is one of 106 localities in the Reichshof municipality in the Oberbergischer Kreis in the North Rhine-Westphalian administrative district of Cologne in Germany .

Location and description

Wildbergerhütte is located in the southeast of North Rhine-Westphalia, in the Oberbergisches Kreis. The place is located in the Bergisches Land nature park and is surrounded by the Wiehltalsperre in the west and the adjacent border with Rhineland-Palatinate with the headwaters of the Bigge in the south. Wildbergerhütte has a very good connection to the A4 motorway , which is about 10 minutes away, and thus towards Cologne and Olpe , as well as the Olpe-Süd motorway junction and the A 45 towards Frankfurt am Main and Dortmund .

history

Since there was already a smelter in Heidberg around 1600, it can be assumed that the first hut for the mining operation in Wildberg, at the place where the Wildbergerhütte is today, was built around the same time. Therefore the name Wildbergerhütte can be explained very easily. Later this hut was modernized and technically brought up to date. It was located on the site of today's Wessel-Werk company . Today's memorial for the fallen was the chimney of this hut, it is said to have been twice as high. Later it was no longer worth running this hut. The ore was smelted in strange huts. The mining operations in Wildberg were finally also closed and the site was forcibly auctioned off in 1911.

In 1866, Wildbergerhütte became a post office with daily personal mail to Eckenhagen and Wissen. The telegraph operator was established on October 1, 1878. The post office was an office until 1922, then an agency and again a post office on July 1, 1940. Since November 2004, the Post has been an agency in the Schmalenbach department store.

On October 31, 1910, the Brüchermühle – Wildbergerhütte railway line was opened and connected to the Wiehl Valley Railway. In 1910/1911 more than 6,000 tickets were sold in Wildbergerhütte, in 1940 there were already more than 16,000. The route was originally intended to continue to Rothemühle. In the local area the route went to the exit towards Nosbach, two bridges had already been built. The First World War probably prevented further construction. Towards the end of World War II , the route was often the target of air raids. The bridge near Elbach was blown up and rebuilt at short notice after the war. Nevertheless, passenger traffic on this route was finally stopped in 1953. The bridges in the local area were also removed.

The bus service began on March 2, 1925 on the route Eckenhagen - Wildbergerhütte - Waldbröl. This was followed by the Wildbergerhütte - Rothemühle route.
