History
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".
