Oat Barn from 1583
Highlight • Historical Site
Thanks to the very rapid intervention of the Schwelm fire brigade, the flames were extinguished and even more destruction prevented. The emergency services prevented the fire from spreading to the nearby tree and thus also to the roof of the south wing of Haus Martfeld.
A big thank you for the once again remarkable commitment of the Schwelm fire brigade, which was able to prevent even worse things from the fire of three half-timbered houses in Kölner Strasse.
The dismay of the population over the burned and charred granary is great - especially since it was completely restored and put up again in 2007 after age-related weathering and considerable damage by the storm "Kyrill". The oat box has been owned by the Schwelm e.V.
The granary was originally located on the Mennenöh an der Oehde farm in 1583, before the town of Schwelm bought it in 1929 and stored it temporarily. In 1937 it stood in the courtyard of the new Heimatmuseum in Schulstrasse, and since 1952 in the courtyard of the Sternenbergschen house in Barmer Strasse, where the museum was newly housed. In 1965 he moved to the park of the Martfeld house by relocating the museum.

Friedrich Christoph Müller Monument
Highlight • Monument
Müller studied theology, mathematics, astronomy and genius at the University of Rinteln from 1768 to 1772 and then for a year at the University of Göttingen. At the same time he learned four foreign languages. After working as a private teacher, he traveled through northern Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. From 1776 he was pastor in Sassendorf and from 1782 in Unna. On January 15, 1785 he was elected the second preacher of the Lutheran congregation in Schwelm. When the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm II stayed in Hagen from June 7th to 9th, 1788, Müller became the spokesman for the delegates from Schwelm. He then became a corresponding member of the Berlin Academy of Sciences with a salary of 200 Reichstalers annually. His most valuable work is Schwelm's choragraphy from 1789 with numerous illustrations on craft and industry. Müller dedicated his publication to the King of Prussia and used the wealth in the Bergisches Land to advertise state industrial support in Schwelm near the border. The publication probably contains the first images of women as workers in the textile factories.
Maps of the county of Mark come from Müller, including the topographic map of the county of Mark from 1791. He used a theodolite from the workshop of John Dollond in 1789 and 1790 for regional triangulation.
In Schwelm there is a memorial for Müller on Martfeld. Friedrich-Christoph-Müller-Straße near the B7 was named after him.
