History
The town was formed on January 1, 1975, in the course of the municipal reorganization of North Rhine-Westphalia. Before that date all villages (except Bigge and Olsberg, which had been merged already been merged into a single municipality in 1969) have been independent municipalities. On 23 June 2014, a Learjet 35 and a Eurofighter Typhoon collided over the city. Both people on board the Learjet died, while the pilot on the Typhoon survived.
