. Erndtebrück 1256 - 2006, 750 years
Erndtebrück was first mentioned in documents in 1256. The State of Wittgenstein was first composed of the land east of Battenberg. A document from 1174 names a Count Werner of Wittgenstein, whose name comes from the castle near Laasphe. Even today Erndtebrück is considered to be a very remote hilly village in the upper Eder River valley. The road winds from west to east through the Eder & Befe Rivers. Fording the rivers was difficult when the rivers flooded. Thus name of the village, Erndte Bridge was an important toll bridge & a shorter route for the conveys of foreign traders & travelers. You could also save time by renting oxen to tow the wagons up the hill.
On old maps the highest point on the Wabrich is called, the Wagon castle. This was a shelter to put wagons while the animals pulled the convoy's next wagon up hill. This resting space on the mountain was a shield against the mist & fog & this looked like a castle when seen from the village below. In more recent years, the hill tops are now used as high pasture lands for cattle. There are also hunting blinds adjacent the tree line.
On the main road just outside of Erndtebrück there is a large cemetery. The cold falling rain prevented me from having a look there. PJ Felker (Ahlberg) October 2010. - - -
