Editing Halver (section)

==History==
Around 950 the ''Oberhof Halvara'' was first mentioned in the ''Werdener Probsteiregister''. For more than 500 years Halver was the seat of a [[League of the Holy Court|Fehmic court]], the earliest definite evidence of which is in 1243; it ceased to exist in 1753. This court was most famous because of the trial of duke [[Henry XVI of Bavaria|Henry XVI the Rich]] of [[Bavaria]]-Landshut and the knight of Toerring on May 2, 1430.

With effect from October 1, 1912, the municipality Halver was split, [[Schalksmühle]] becoming an independent municipality. Both were administered together in the [[Amt Halver]]. As part of the communal reforms of the district of [[Altena]] the ''Amt'' was dissolved on January 1, 1969, and Halver was granted city rights.
