      Tough on the go - trade routes
      "The transport of the material was difficult for the horse carts because the" streets ", water forts and steep sections were mostly unpaved. In Lüdenscheid the" Old Heerstrasse ", which led from Cologne to Soest, crossed the" Iron Road "coming from the Siegerland Meinerzhagen branched off in different directions. Around 1800, Lüdenscheid and Altena Draht mostly delivered to the east, neighboring European countries and to America, while Iserlohn delivered to places where cloth factories were located. The course of the "Alte Heerstraße" corresponds approximately to today's B 229, the A 45 has taken over the tasks of the "Eisenstrasse".
