Plettenberg is a city in Sauerland in North Rhine-Westphalia.
background
The city of Plettenberg is located in the west of the Sauerland, the so-called Brandenburg Sauerland between the Lennegebirge in the north and the Ebbegebirge in the south. Due to its geographical situation at the confluence of the Else in the Lenne on the one hand and the two flowing waters of the Grünerbach and Oesterbach, it was also given the name "Four Valleys City". The place consists of the five districts city center, Eiringhausen, Holthausen / upper Elsetal, Oestertal and Ohle.
As early as 1072, a forerunner of Plettenberg was first mentioned in a document from the Grafschaft monastery under the name "Heslipho". The granting of city rights in 1397 is considered the actual founding act of the city.
