Like the hut, it is on the left, the Arenbergische Ahrseite, while the actual place was mainly on the right Ahrseite. What has been preserved, however - in addition to the ducal riding master's house from 1677 - is the Stollenhof or Goddarzhof, a courtyard from the 16th century (engraving in the lintel: 1549), which was later renovated and expanded.
The street names of the place "Am Hammerwerk", "Hüttenstraße", "Hüttenhof" and "Hüttenberg" keep the memory alive of a time when the prosperity of the residents was based on the work of the miners and metallurgical workers. The coal shed that belonged to the ironworks was still in agricultural use for a while, but was demolished in 1983. Around 1950 part of the blast furnace was cleared, the remaining remnants were demolished in 1965 because the plot was to be rebuilt. While remains of the lime industry can still be found here and there, the last evidence of the iron industry has long been removed. The brick bakery existed until the beginning of the 20th century, in 1911 the site was sold and rebuilt. The sale of these so-called "Schottel spans" extended to Schleiden. The clay was lifted near Neuhof and carted into the village. As part of the “Ahr 2000” project, this section of the valley was included in a federal funding program that secures parts of nature and the landscape that are worthy of protection.Īs early as 1849, plans were made to build a brick factory, but they were not implemented until 1854. After the demolition in 1975, the site was acquired by the NRW Foundation in 1982. The plant on the Freilingen side, which was last in operation, produced around 50 tons of lime per day until it was closed. From the construction of the first lime kiln in 1859 to the closure of the last lime works in 1969, this branch provided the only industrial jobs in the area. The lime industry, which flourished with several lime kilns and quarries, represented a small substitute with the decline of the iron industry.
The last blast furnace went out in 1861, and the history of the iron processing industry in the town was over. The factory was in their possession until the French troops marched in in 1794. The Dukes of Arenberg, whose ancestral seat was in the nearby Aremberg, built the iron processing plant as a “lease hut”, probably in the early 16th century. The village owes its origins and name to an industry long past, the iron industry. The Duke of Arenberg had an income register made in which it was written: "The hoff up of the huts (huts) gylt dit jair 30 times halff eyn halff others" (Der Hof von / at the Hütten there are 30 painters this year, half one, half the other). The first mention of the place comes from the year 1511. The area is cut through by the Ahr, into which the Mühlenbach flows. The landscape around Ahrhütte is characterized by juniper-rich lime-lime lawns, extensive pastures, species-rich bush formations and mixed deciduous forests. The living conditions at that time are likely to have been optimal for numerous marine life forms, as the limestone basin is known for its wealth of fossils. The village extends geologically in the "Dollendorfer Kalkmulde", a coral reef from the Devonian period (390-360 million years). NHN is the small town of Ahrhütte on the B 258. Less than ten kilometers southeast of Blankenheim and around 325– 420 m above sea level. The name of the place also indicates the former steel works on the Ahr. Ahrhütte can therefore be translated as “apartment on flowing water”. “Hut” is related to the Old High German word “hutta”, or to the ancient Greek word κεὑδείν, meaning “to hide” and “to be safe”. The old Germanic word “ara” means “river water” that is in unavoidable movement. The name Ahrhütte consists of two parts: the first part is “Ah” and indicates “water”, the letter “r” belongs to the roots rhe and rho they mean "to flow" (cf.
