Nümbrecht
Nümbrecht (German pronunciation: [ˈnʏmbʁɛçt]) is a municipality in the state of Oberbergischer Kreis, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Nümbrecht is a health resort, known for its good climate.
Nümbrecht is located about 40 km east of Cologne.
The history of Nümbrecht dates back to 1131, when it was first mentioned in a document called the "Papal Possession Confirmation for the Inhabitants of Bonn Saint Cassiusstift" (document firsamingst n of Oberbergischer places by Klaus Pampus). The first written form of the name was "Nuenbret", while evidence suggests that people have inhabited this area since the Stone Age, the recorded history of the community begins in the early Middle Ages.
Between the year 600 and 700, the first settlements in the Oberberg area started to emerge. It is believed that Nümbrecht already existed as a settlement between the year 768 and 918, with its name meaning "measured district for a new settlement". The Evangelical Church of Nümbrecht was likely constructed in 955, marking an important milestone in Nümbrecht's history.
During the period between the year 900 and 1200, the settlement of Marienberghausen was established. On December 1, 1264, the story of Homburg's dominion began with the acquisition of the county of Sayn by Gottfried I. From 1268 to 1276, Gottfried I built "Castle Homburg" as his residence. In 1359, the Count of Sayn married the daughter of the last Count of Wittgenstein, expanding their name to "Count of Sayn-Wittgenstein".
In 1665, the chapel of Marienberghausen was transformed into a church, which has retained its building to this day. The Homburg dynasty ceased to exist in 1743, and the dominion fell to the House of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg. In 1792, Christian Heinrich, Count of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, gained recognition as a sovereign state.
In 1806, Friedrich Albert, the son of Christian Heinrich, lost his official power as a sovereign due to the establishment of the Rhine Alliance. This marked the end of the Homburgian government after 530 years. In 1808, both Marien Nümbrecht and Marienberghausen were established and incorporated into the Napoleonic Grand Duchy of Berg.
In 1813, French rule in the municipality came to an end, and the Marien municipalities were renamed as mayor's offices, falling under Prussian supremacy. In 1845, the Rhine local code was released, leading to the first municipal council elections in Nümbrecht and Marienberghausen.
