geography
_aerial_view_from_south.jpg)
Geographical location
Büren is located in the extreme southwest of the Ostwestfalen-Lippe region north of the Sauerland , on the southwestern edge of the Paderborn plateau and west of the Sintfeld in the heart of the Bürener Land . In the city the Afte flows into the Alme . The urban area includes altitudes of 190 to 360 meters above sea level .
The city belongs to the Bad Wünnenberg / Büren recreation area .
geology
The underground of the city is made up of solid rock from the Middle Ages and the ancient times . Sandstones are widespread , including, for example, the Rüthener sandstone from the Lower Cretaceous , as well as limestone (including the Anröchter Stone ) and marl stones from the Upper Cretaceous . The Paderborn plateau is built up from the marl stones of the Upper Cretaceous ; it is characterized by different rock hardnesses and the associated shallow collapse of the layers, which has resulted in a layered landscape . The landscape is characterized by sinkholes and dry valleys . Older rocks, dark clay , silt and sandstones from the Upper Carboniferous period can be found on the slopes of the Alme , Nette and Afte valley . They come to the surface under the Cretaceous layers. Since these rocks were mountainous at the end of the ancient world , they are folded . Boulders and deposited loess as deposits of the Ice Age are only present in small areas. Particularly noteworthy are the geologically young calcareous sinter formations at the sources of the streams.
The rocks of the Upper Cretaceous are capable of karstification and are good aquifers. They lie on the poorly permeable base made of rocks from the Upper Carboniferous. The seeping surface water flows in crevices and karst waters and reappears in Salzkotten- Upsprunge and Geseke . Since the interface between the carbon and chalk rocks is undercut in the Almetal above Weine and near the Afte, a large number of springs emerge on the slopes that were previously used to supply drinking water. Since the surface water is only slightly filtered by the soil due to the karstification, problems in particular have arisen with the nitrate pollution caused by agriculture . Around two-thirds of the city's drinking water has therefore been taken from the Aabach dam since 1983 .
The above-mentioned sandstones Anröchte Stein and Rüthener sandstone, as well as deposits of limestone, marl-lime and limestone marl, were formerly used as building blocks, bulk material and for lime or cement production. In the meantime, however, there is no longer any dismantling.
On the Paderborn plateau, brown soils developed from ice age, partly relocated loess. As shallow brown soils, they are widespread in combination with very stony, often still calcareous, rendzines of 10–30 cm in diameter in the northern urban area along the A 44 and in the southern urban area.
The rendzines form a layer of hard limestone on hilltops and saddles to the east and west of Büren. They are in great danger of dehydration, stony and difficult to work with. Gleye and pseudogleye are common south of Steinhausen and east of Büren. The foothills of the Sauerland between Siddinghausen and Ringelsteiner Wald are characterized by medium to deep, silty brown earth. They are creepy to very stony and consist of slope and plateau clay , which is based on silicate rock of the Upper Carboniferous. The river valleys of Alme and Afte are covered by floodplain soils. In some small side valleys, fens with high groundwater levels have developed.
Büren is well to very well suited for the use of geothermal heat sources by means of a geothermal probe and heat recovery through heat pump heating (see the adjacent map).

middle Ages
Before 1195, when the city was founded, Büren had been a farming settlement for 300 years. Büren (Buranon) was first mentioned in 1095. The noblemen of Büren applied for the city to be founded. The village was on the left bank of the Alme (today: Menkenberg / Bühl) and was quite insignificant. A church consecrated to Saint Gangolf was probably built in the second half of the 9th century. A cross on Menkenberg reminds of the church and the submerged village.
Around 1150, the nobles von Büren built a castle complex at the confluence of the Alme and Afte rivers . They came from the area north of Winterberg and Medebach (from Deifeld ) and came in the wake of the new high bailiffs of the Diocese of Paderborn, the Counts of Schwalenberg , as feudal lords of the so-called County of Wewelsburg .
The founding of the city of Büren was decided by a contract between the Bishop of Paderborn and the noblemen of Büren in 1195. The bishop gave his approval for the town and contributed to the fortification costs. He also granted the right to coin and customs as well as various tithe. For this he had the city enlisted as a fiefdom and the right to open it certified. About thirty house spaces were created on the south side of the castle.
The first expansion of the city of Büren took place between 1195 and 1220. The ascending ridge between Alme and Afte was opened up by three parallel streets running in north-south direction (today Rosenstrasse, Burgstrasse and Königsstrasse), which are connected by cross streets. Two of the resulting large squares were reserved for the church of St. Nicholas with churchyard and the market with the town hall. For topographical reasons, the city area was expanded to the west and east of the three streets to the edge of the Alme and Afte river valleys and gradually surrounded by a wall reinforced by nine towers. In 1238, the city of Büren received a constitution based on the Lippstadt town charter . A city judge was also on site.
In 1243 the noblemen von Büren founded the Cistercian monastery Holthausen , in which the von Fürstenberg family lives today and where the noblemen von Büren are buried.
A document from the Paderborn bishop spoke of two new towns in Büren in 1252. This second city expansion could be spread over the area south of the upper gate on both sides of the road to Siddinghausen (today: betweenBruchstrasse and Schanze). A city wall was also built at this time. A debt register from 1286 of the Livonian Hanseatic City of Riga suggests that Büren was actively involved in the Hanseatic trade until around 1336. After the reconciliation of the Bürener citizenship with Bishop Simon III. zu Lippe through the mediation of Berndt von Büren the St. Sebastian Brotherhood was founded in 1490.
Modern times

In 1588 the first Büren water pipe was put into operation. In 1661 the last nobleman from Büren , Moritz von Büren, died and established the Jesuit order as heir to the rule of Büren. The Bürener castles at the lower gate (Burgstrasse) were demolished between 1717 and 1728. On October 18, 1816, the Büren district was formed by ordinance of the royal government in Minden. A second rifle club, the Bürgererschützenverein, was founded in Büren in 1828. The two communities Oberntudorf and Niederntudorf came from the Paderborn district to the Büren district in 1832. Since then they have belonged to the Bürener Land . In 1895 the railway line from Paderborn through the Almetal to Büren was completed, and in 1900 the Almetalbahn was extended to Brilon . In 1898 the Geseke – Büren railway via Steinhausen was built.
In 1908 Büren got its own power grid. The district of Wewelsburg was the location of the Niederhagen concentration camp when Heinrich Himmler had the Wewelsburg converted into a National Socialist cult center from 1940 . Adolf von Oeynhausen , who had drawn Himmler's attention to the Wewelsburg in 1933, was made an honorary citizen of the city. In 1945, before the end of the war, large parts of the facility were blown up. The Americans liberated the city and district of Büren from National Socialism in 1945 . Before that, around 80 members of the SS had been expelled from the city by the city's residents in order to save Büren from destruction.
In 1946, the Sisters of Our Lady founded the Liebfrauengymnasium as the second Büren grammar school. In 1971 the Büren Airport Paderborn / Lippstadt was put into operation by the Büren district in Ahden. Due to the local reorganization, the Büren district was dissolved in 1975 and added to the neighboring districts. In 1980 passenger traffic on the Almetalbahn Paderborn-Büren-Brilon was stopped and in 1984 the line was finally closed. The JVA Büren started operations in 1994.
Religions
Due to its affiliation to the former Paderborn Monastery, the majority of the population in Büren is traditionally Catholic . The denominational affiliation of the students in Büren can be an indication of the distribution of religions. Accordingly, in the 2006/2007 school year, 16.8% of the students stated Protestant, 72.9% Catholic and 0.8% Islamic as their religious affiliation. 4.9% said they belonged to another religion and 4.6% had no denomination. In addition to the Catholic parishes there are two Protestant churches , including one in Buren and in Wewelsburg. But also congregations of the New Apostolic Church, Baptists , Jehovah's Witnesses and the Free Church congregation are represented in Büren. The Apostle Ministry of Jesus Christ also has a local church.
Incorporations
On January 1, 1975, the Sauerland / Paderborn law not only dissolved the Büren district and added the neighboring districts, but also the communities of Ahden, Barkhausen, Brenken, Eickhoff, Hardt, Hegensdorf, Siddinghausen, Steinhausen, Weiberg, Weine and Wewelsburg, which previously belonged to the office of Büren , incorporated into the city of Büren. These formerly independent communities are still characterized by their lively club life and their autonomy .

badges and flags
The city of Büren has a city coat of arms that is based on the city's oldest seal from 1299. The coat of arms was approved on January 16, 1976 by the Detmold district president. It corresponds to the coat of arms of the city of Büren before the municipal reorganization, which was approved by the Prussian king on September 2, 1908, following a proposal by the Reichsheroldsamt. Previously, the city of Büren had only used the red diamond chevron in the white shield as a coat of arms.
- Blazon :
- In red on a green three-mountain, a silver (white) castle with three tin towers, the middle of which is wider and has an open archway, in which there is a silver (white) triangular shield with a red diamond rafter.
The diamond rafter represents the coat of arms of the Büren house, which ruled over Büren and Bürener Land until the 17th century . It can be found in the coat of arms of the old district of Büren, the district of Paderborn and the city of Bad Wünnenberg. The coat of arms of the House of Büren can also be seen in the coat of arms of the former Büren office next to the Wewelsburg.
Also on January 16, 1976, the city of Büren received the right to its own city flag.
- Flag description
- Banner: Red and white striped lengthways with the city's coat of arms in the rectangular head of the banner.
- Hoisted flag: From red and white, longitudinally striped with the coat of arms of the city in the rectangular, continuous flag head.

Buildings
_Kath.Pfarrkirche_St.Nikolaus.jpg)
- Catholic Church of St. Nicholas
- The cruciform basilica with west tower was first mentioned in 1220. The building was changed in the 19th century. The furnishings include a late-Gothic tabernacle from the end of the 15th century, a pulpit from around 1600 and the baroque organ from 1744, which was originally created for the Böddeken monastery .
_ehem.Jesuitenkolleg.jpg)
- Jesuit College
- The building now houses the Mauritius high school , it was built by the Jesuits between 1719 and 1728 in the Baroque style.
- town hall
- The multi-wing building previously served as the widow's seat of the noblemen of Büren. After the death of Moritz von Büren in 1661 it became the property of the Jesuit order, which initially settled here. The building then appears to have been extensively renovated; the archway leading to the inner courtyard is dated 1664. In 1802/03 it fell to the Prussian state, which leased it to the pharmacist Quicken in 1806. In 1933 the Büren district acquired the complex, which had a new district building built here using older parts. Until 1975 it was the seat of the Büren district administration. Today it serves as the town hall; The employment office, a police station and a branch of the Paderborn district administration are also located here.
- Former tithe barn
- The core of the plastered quarry stone building with a mansard roof probably dates back to the 16th century, but was largely rebuilt around 1720. For a long time it served as a rent and forest office. Together with the Niedermühle, the Jesuit College and the adjoining 18th century farm building (now Café Stilbruch), it forms an impressive urban ensemble.
- With a steep pitched roof provided quarry stone was built in 1532 and is the oldest secular building in the downtown area. The mill was restored together with the neighboring drilling mill and operated as a museum by the Büren eV Heimatverein
_Niederm%C3%BChle.jpg)
- Former Niedermühle
- The oldest parts of the two-storey quarry stone building with a gable roof date from 1537. Today it is part of the Niedermühle u. a. used for concerts.
- Only a few older residential buildings have survived in the town center because of the numerous demolitions that took place in the 1960s and 1970s . The house at Markt 14 is particularly noteworthy . The half-timbered hall house with a crooked hip roof is marked on the gate beam in 1608. It is the oldest surviving residential building in the city. However, the ground floor was drastically changed for use as a shop. The house Südmauer 20 , a single-storey half-timbered building above a high basement, was built in the 19th century. The building at Bahnhofstrasse 2 is a large two-story half-timbered building with a hipped roof, which was probably built around 1840/50. The left half of the first floor was broken open in 1901 by installing a shop. The type of building at Kapellenstrasse 8 , which was designed as a semi-detached house in 1873 , is particularly interesting . It is a Querdeelenhaus , whose left gate was added later.
- Two towers and remnants of the wall have been preserved from the city fortifications .
- The Wewelsburg is the landmark of the Paderborn region .
- Ringelstein castle ruins with witch cellar
- The Ringelstein castle ruins are located above the valley on a ridge and are now part of the Harth area. The remains of the castle built by the nobles von Büren around 1400 can be viewed here.
- Accommodation facility for those obliged to leave the country , largest deportation center in Europe
- The facility went into operation in 1994 on the site of an abandoned NATO barracks.
- The former Böddeken monastery near Wewelsburg was founded by Saint Meinolf and is now home to a boarding school. In the vicinity of Gut Böddeken there is also the Friedenstal with a military cemetery.
- The former Cistercian convent Holthausen was founded in 1243 by the noblemen von Büren. The monastery church and the former monastery buildings were built around 1700 in the Baroque style using parts of the original medieval structure. Today they are privately owned. The noblemen of Büren are buried in the chapel of the monastery.
- With the Hünenburg on the Hahnenberg above the Alme valley between Büren and Brenken , the remains of an early medieval hill fort, which was rebuilt in the 14th century, have been preserved.
Natural monuments
Eleven nature reserves are designated in the urban area of Büren . The two largest are the forests near Büren (PB-066) with 1515.7931 hectares and the Leiberger Forest (PB-060) with 1232.6710 hectares. ( see also : List of nature reserves in the Paderborn district )
sport and freetime
The city of Büren has two outdoor pools, one between Harth and Weiberg and one in Büren itself. There is also an indoor pool. Almost every district has a football club and a sports field, with the exception of Barkhausen and Eickhoff. In the core town of Büren, the SV 21 Büren football club also runs athletics.

There is a shooting range for the Bürener Bürgererschützenverein (BSV) near the Bruchs stadium in Büren. The shooting sports department of the BSV regularly provides world champions or vice world champions in various shooting categories. In the industrial area Büren-West there is a go-kart track and a Gotcha -Areal. Since the beginning of 2007, the Niedermühle cultural initiative has been providing a colorful entertainment and cultural program.
Regular events
In addition to the rifle festivals in the individual districts, the Moritzmarkt, the largest festival in Büren, takes place every year in the last week in September. The Nikolausmarkt is held on the weekend around December 6th. Another highlight is the Büren Hiking Day, for which hikers from all over Germany and the neighboring EU countries come to Büren every year in May . At the beginning of the summer holidays, the three-day open-air cinema "BOA Kino" takes place in the Bürener Almeauen every year. In 2018, BürenOpenAir was added to an event series for the first time with the rock concert BOArocks. Wingenfelder and The Hooters played on stage.
Culinary specialties
There are two regionally known schnapps in Büren , the Bürener Ratstropfen , which can be described as herbal schnapps, and the Bürener Moritzbrand , a fruit schnapps with caraway, which is dedicated to the last Bürener nobleman.
societies
The Büren Heimatverein was founded in 1987. The association has set itself the goal of researching the history of the city and making it better known, maintaining monuments and preserving Büren customs. The Heimatverein also runs the museum of the middle mill and the drill mill in the Bürener Almeauen.
Archery:
The St. Sebastian Brotherhood is probably the oldest association in Büren. It was founded in 1490, but its roots go back to the 12th century. The brotherhood accepted all of Bürener's Christian faith who had lived in the city for ten years. In the Middle Ages, the "Sebastiöner" took over the city guard, which is why, since 2007, some riflemen in the costumes of the old guards have marched at the rifle festival.
When more and more Protestants who could not join the brotherhood settled in Büren with the founding of the Büren district in 1816, they founded the Bürener Bürgerschützen in 1828. Since then there have been two rifle clubs in Büren, with the brotherhood having around 400 members and the civil rifle around 2000.
In 1958, on the initiative of the Haaren shooting club, the Büren District Rifle Club was founded, to which all clubs in the old Büren district are eligible and are allowed to shoot the district shooting bird. The place that provides the king also hosts the next district rifle festival.
