Deep beneath Dellbrück, whispers of the past echo through time. Dellbrück wasn’t always the charming suburb you see today. It was once a patchwork of four distinct villages: Thurn, Strunden, Alt-Dellbrück, and Hagedorn. Traces of human life in Dellbrück date back a staggering 8,000 years. Imagine the people who lived here during the prehistoric era. Archaeological digs have unearthed a large burial ground and ovens, suggesting early iron smelting. A chain of burial mounds was discovered on Pilzweg in northern Dellbrück. These mounds have been preserved by incorporating them into a protected garden area. Another fascinating site lies in the Mielenforst forest. It is believed to have been a sacrificial and judicial site for Germanic tribes. Dellbrück has a rich history tied to the Strunderbach stream. The Franks engineered the stream’s course, which powered over 50 mills. These mills thrived until the turn of the 19th century. The monks of the Johanniter Order in Herrenstrunden wielded considerable influence, owning mills and estates along the Strunderbach, including the Hardtmühle mill and Haus Thurn, perhaps the oldest seat on the Strunderbach. In the 1920s, a unique housing development known as the Märchensiedlung (Fairy Tale Settlement) sprang up in Dellbrück and Holweide. This whimsical neighborhood consists of 181 single-family homes. The architects aimed to create an idyllic, forested environment, “like in a fairy tale,” reflected in the preserved buildings and enchanting street names. This “fairy tale” atmosphere still permeates Dellbrück today.
