Hagen-Rummenohl

Rummenohl, now officially Hagen-Rummenohl, is a locality within the independent city of Hagen in the eastern part of the Ruhr region, in Germany.

It lies in the valley of the river Volme, about 13 km upstream (south) of the city centre of Hagen.

Rummenohl has for centuries been a centre of ironworking, using the power of the river Volme to process iron ore from the Siegerland.

The opening on 16 March 1874 of the single-track Volmetalbahn, which made a connection for goods traffic to Brügge (Lüdenscheid) and beyond that to Meinerzhagen, improved its integration into the developing Ruhr.

The grain mill and former smithy at Krummewiese, on the northern edge of Rummenohl, which had been in operation since 1824, was shut down in 1952.
