Herbede

Before the incorporation with Witten in 1975, Herbede was a city in the administrative district Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis.

There are direct bus connections to central Witten, Witten-Annen, Witten-Rüdinghausen, Witten-Heven, Ruhr University Bochum, Wetter, Gevelsberg, Ennepetal, Hattingen and Wuppertal.

Herbede is divided into five city-districts: Before Herbede became a part of Witten, it had five boroughs: Vormholz, Bommerholz, Durchholz, Kaempen and Buchholz.

The borough of Buchholz is thought to be one of the oldest communities in the entire Ruhr area.

Historians believe that the first settlers came to Buchholz more than 2000 years ago.
