Meinerzhagen im Sauerland: Industrial Town on the Ebbegebirge
Meinerzhagen has about 21,980 inhabitants and lies in the Maerkischer Kreis of Nordrhein-Westfalen, in the hilly Sauerland region. The town sits on the Ebbegebirge ridge, a forested upland area. The Listertalsperre, a reservoir south of town, and the Genkeltalsperre to the north provide drinking water to the surrounding region and offer limited recreation. Metal processing, automotive supply, and precision engineering drive the local economy, continuing a tradition of ironworking in the Sauerland that dates back centuries.
Luedenscheid is about 15 kilometres northwest. Olpe lies to the south. The terrain is steep and heavily wooded, with narrow valleys and scattered hilltop settlements. The A45 Sauerland-Linie motorway passes through the municipality.
