Dörentrup [ ˈdœːɐntʁʊp ] is a municipality in northeast North Rhine-Westphalia . With 7662 inhabitants, Dörentrup is the least populous municipality in the Lippe district .
The municipality is naturally part of the Lipper Bergland . Wooded hilltops and intensely agriculturally used valleys characterize the landscape. The largest river is the Bega, which runs through the municipality from east to west . Dörentrup is located in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge nature park . Schwelentrup and Hillentrup are resorts with a spa park.
Wendlinghausen Castle was built by Hilmar von Münchhausen at the beginning of the 17th century and is one of the most beautiful castles in the Weser Renaissance style . The most important branch of the economy is the service sector, especially tourism, but many workers commute to nearby cities such as Lemgo and Bielefeld .
geography
Geographical location
Dörentrup is located in the northeast of North Rhine-Westphalia and in the east of East Westphalia-Lippe and the administrative district of Detmold . The community has joined the Nordlippe region . The largest neighboring town is the former district town of Lemgo, which is around 7 km to the west. The district town of Detmold in the Teutoburg Forest is located around 18 km southwest. The next major city, Bielefeld, is around 35 km to the west.
In terms of its natural surroundings, the municipality belongs entirely to the Lipper Bergland, a sub-area of the Weser Uplands . The Lipper Bergland presents itself in the municipal area as a strongly intersected hill country. The hilltops are forested, the valleys are used intensively for agriculture. The Weser runs around 20 kilometers north of the municipal boundary. The largest river in the municipality is the Bega, which flows in a westerly direction. The most important tributaries of the Bega are coming from the north Hillenbach and the Diebkebach coming of Bega flow to that of the south. To the north of the Bega and south of the Hillentrup district is a lake known as the Pottkuhle , which with around 2.9 hectares is the largest still water in the municipality.
The lowest point of the community is in the west of Dörentrup in the Begatal at 116 m above sea level. NN . The highest point is the Steinberg near Schwelentrup in the northeast of the municipality at 387 m above sea level. NN . Until 1992, NATO maintained a missile defense position on the summit, near which there are several barrows. The summit of the Dörenberg ( 387 m above sea level ), which was also used for military purposes during the Cold War, is just beyond the municipal boundary, which on the southern flank of the mountain is up to 366 m above sea level. NN runs. The municipal area lies entirely in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge nature park, but is not affected by the two mountains.
geology
The Dörentrup subsoil belongs to the Lippe Keuper area and consists of solid rock that formed from sea and river deposits in the Triassic 240 to 210 million years ago . On both sides of the Bega valley, gray to brown-red clay , marl and sandstones have formed on the ridges . On the Kleeberg, south and west of Krubberg and north of Schwelentrup, there are limestones of the Upper Muschelkalks . Fossilizations of marine animals such as cephalopods and sea lilies are very common in these rocks . The oldest rocks in the municipality occur on the Schiefeberg, the gray and yellow-brown marl and dolomite rocks from the Middle Muschelkalk .
The deeper subsoil consists of sand, clay or limestone of the red sandstone and the ancient world . Tertiary sands with several seams of lignite occur in the Neuenkamp area . There they fill up funnel-shaped hollow forms that were caused by sinkholes . These sands are among the highest quality in Europe and were mined for glass production until 1970 because of their purity.
In the plain of the Bega valley and in the side valleys, the bedrock is covered with loose rocks from the Ice Age and loess . There are remains of a ground moraine under the loess .
The fissured limestones and the sand, clay and marl stones of the Triassic are good aquifers, but only the partially karstified limestones of the Upper Muschelkalk are important for the drinking water supply in the municipality . The Rotenbach and other small rivers in the Hillentrup district arise from abundant sources in these rocks.
More than half of the municipal area is used for agriculture. The most fertile arable soils can be found in the mighty loess loam, which lie on both sides of the Bega and are up to two kilometers wide. There are Parabraunerden emerged that are easy to work very, save a lot of water and can bind many nutrients. Primarily in level locations and especially in the Spork area, pseudogleyen also forms partly due to the accumulation of clay in the lower soil areas . Brown earth has developed on the rocks of the Keuper . The groundwater soil in the valleys is used as grassland.
Dörentrup is moderately suitable in the Bega valley, in an area west of Sporkholz and in a crescent-shaped strip from Hillentrup in the direction of Schwelentrup, and otherwise good to very good for the use of geothermal heat sources by means of geothermal probes and heat recovery through heat pump heating systems (see the adjacent map ).
Expansion and use of the municipal area
The community, classified as a large rural community , extends over an area of 49.79 km². The municipal area has a maximum extension in east-west direction of approx. 9.8 km and in north-south direction of approx. 8.5 km. In a national comparison, the municipality has only a few built-up areas and above-average agricultural use. The exact share of land use can be seen from the following table:

climate
The municipality of Dörentrup belongs to the maritime climate area of northwest Germany. The winters are mostly mild under the influence of the Atlantic, the summers are moderately warm and the precipitation is relatively evenly distributed. The annual average temperature is around 8.6 ° C. The annual average temperature in the protected aeration is slightly above around 9 ° C. The location of the community on the leeward side (east) of the Teutoburg Forest and the Egge Mountains means that the annual rainfall in Dörentrup is much lower than in these mountain ranges. Within the municipality, rainfall is particularly low in the southwestern Begatal. The mountains of the Lipper Bergland, on the other hand, lead to slightly higher amounts of precipitation, especially in the north-east of the municipality , due to local incline rain .
Apart from precipitation data, no other climate data are available for Dörentrup, which is why the temperature and sunshine data of Schieder-Schwalenberg, about 17 km away, are used in the following . Schieder-Schwalenberg is located in a natural spatial location and altitude comparable to Dörentrup.

story
Prehistory and the Middle Ages
Prehistoric barrows and finds from the Stone Age in the Humfeld Basin suggest that this area was ancient settlement land. At Hillentrup, the remnants of the approximately seven hectare Latène period fortification Piepenkopf and a presumably associated former observation tower on the hilltop of the neighboring Amelungsburg point to an early settlement. The area was opened up by important long-distance routes as early as the first millennium AD, for example a route that came from the Ravensberger Land via Herford , Lemgo, Humfeld, Alverdissen into the Hameln / Pyrmont area . A second route connected Blomberg with the Weser in the north and crossed the other long-distance route at Dörentrup. The prehistoric long-distance routes are, however, considerably older than the settlements that were first mentioned in a document in the 13th century.
The area around Dörentrup belonged to the county of Schwalenberg until the end of the 12th century . Its gradual decline began around 1185. In the meantime, a Schwalenberg branch line around the castles Alt- and Neu-Sternberg was able to build the small county of Sternberg , to which parts of today's municipality belonged. The noble lords of Lippe were first mentioned under this name in 1123 and subsequently built up their sovereignty. Between 1332 and 1358 they acquired large areas of the county of Schwalenberg and, by acquiring Varenholz and Langenholzhausen, expanded their property northwards to the Weser.
The Hillentrup church was destroyed by "robbery and fire" in the first half of the 15th century, probably during the Sternberg feud of 1424. The receptacle for the host survived this misfortune unscathed. The insignificant church village developed into a regionally important pilgrimage site. A pub was set up for the pilgrims. This jug in the churchyard in Hillentrup, which has existed since the 15th century, is one of the oldest verifiable jugs in Lippe.
The village of Wendlinghausen was first mentioned in a document in 1227. The first documentary mention of Hillentrup is in the property register of the Minden cathedral chapter from approx. 1260. In the middle of the 16th century, the Wendlinghausen estate was established, the owner of which was Antonius von der Lippe , a son of Bernhard VII . At the beginning of the 17th century it came into the possession of Hilmar von Münchhausen, who had the Wendlinghausen moated castle built from 1613 to 1615. The castle is one of the most beautiful buildings from the Weser Renaissance style epoch . In 1731 it was sold to the von Reden noble family and has been in their possession for almost 300 years.
Schwelentrup was first mentioned in 1151 as Suitherdincthorpe .
Reformation and the Thirty Years War
In the 1520s, the people of Lemgo adopted the Lutheran creed and thus became the center of the Reformation in Lippe. In 1538 the new Lutheran church constitution , based on the Hessian model, was passed and introduced throughout Lippe. Count Simon VI. enforced Calvinism in the county around 1600 , only Lemgo successfully resisted the sovereign church regime and remained Lutheran. The rural communities in the area of today's Dörentrup adopted the Reformed creed. This meant, among other things, strict rules that were directed against "effort and pomp, extravagant celebrations and drinking bouts, as well as the desecration of Sundays and public holidays". Regular attendance at church became compulsory. In the Middle Ages and at the beginning of the modern era, the parishes of Bega and Hillentrup had a certain importance as central parishes . They owned churches and other facilities and attracted the residents of the sometimes very small communities in the area.
Simon VI. issued a decree in 1571 as part of a church ordinance, according to which schools were to be set up in all towns, villages and towns in the county. The school system was thus a domain of the church until the 18th century. However, the ordinance was only implemented sporadically, as many parents rarely or never sent their children, who were needed for cattle herding and field work, to school. In the villages around Dörentrup schools were set up in the coasts , before school buildings were built in some places such as Bega, Hillentrup and Humfeld in the 18th century.
In the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) Lippe experienced repeated marches of foreign troops, so that the army of the Protestant general Christian von Braunschweig and that of his opponent Count von Tilly . Although Lippe had declared himself neutral, Count Simon Ludwig from Lippe had to collect so-called contributions from the population. These were compulsory charges to finance and supply the military. In the course of the war, the reprisals of the population by the warring parties grew worse and resulted in murders, looting and pillage. After the end of the war in 1648, the contribution remained in place and was converted into a regular tax in order to finance the elaborate count's court keeping.
Modern times and industrialization
In 1808 Princess Pauline announced the abolition of serfdom . However, there was no improvement in the life situation of those affected because the landlord duties and official duties were more burdensome than serfdom itself.
Economic development stagnated in the villages of Dörentrup and for centuries they remained small farming villages, where the only sources of income were agriculture and some handicrafts. This situation only changed after the construction of the railway line in 1896 from Bielefeld via Lage and Lemgo to Hameln.
In the early 19th century, so-called field fire bricks developed in the Dörentrup area , which mined and processed the loess clay found there . In addition, silver sand was discovered and mined north of the Humfelder Chaussee. This sand was initially used for private purposes by being sprinkled on the wooden floors of the living rooms. Later on, it was used industrially in glass production, which preferred chemically pure silver sand with a share of around 98.8 percent silica . The deposits in the Dörentrup area were among the highest quality quartz sand deposits in Europe. Another use of the sand on a smaller scale was the sand culture . The loam lying over the sand was stored as overburden and recycled by a brick factory built later south of Humfelder Chaussee.
Due to the better transport connections through the railroad and the federal highway 66 , the development of other industrial companies was also positively influenced. A diverse furniture industry settled in Humfeld, the heyday of which was between 1950 and 1975. In addition, there was an increase in tourism , which developed into an important economic factor. Nevertheless, the number of jobs in the Dörentrup community remained insufficient. This is illustrated by the large number of around 2,800 out-commuters, compared to only 471 in-commuters. Most of the out-commuters have their training or job in Lemgo, Barntrup or Detmold.
etymology
Dörentrup, which is relatively centrally located in the community, was chosen as the largest place as the namesake of the large community founded in 1969. Etymologically , the place name consists of the components Dören and -trup . The syllable -trup means village and can be found in the names of many places in Lippe and also in three district names Dörentrups. There are different interpretations for the first word component Dören . So dorn can mean thorns . The place name means thorn village or village in the thorns . Other interpretations derive Dören from Dören , the Low German word for door . In Ostwestfalen-Lippe, Dören is primarily used to refer to cuttings or mountain passages and so the word is often found in geographical names, including in Dörenberg , which is near Dörentrup. Dörentrup would then describe the location on a passage, in a valley or on a pass, which does not seem absurd given the location in a brook valley between Amelungsburg and Dörenberg.
In the latest research ( Westphalian Place Name Book ), in addition to the thorn interpretation, a personal name is also taken into account, which is connected to the current surname Döring and refers to the popular name Thuringian .
Religions
The majority of the population in Dörentrup is Protestant Reformed. Ten years after Luther posted his theses on September 4, 1517, the new teaching spread in Lippe . In 1538, the Lutheran church order based on the Hessian model was adopted by the Landtag in Cappel for the county of Lippe. In 1605, Count Simon VI. officially to the Evangelical Reformed creed, so that in Lippe the change from the Lutheran to the Reformed creed was carried out according to the principle cuius regio, eius religio . In Dörentrup there are three evangelical reformed parishes in Bega, Hillentrup and Spork-Wendlinghausen. The Reformed churches are the class Bösingfeld the Lippe Church assigned.
Catholic believers held their services in the Church of the Precious Blood of Christ , which was canceled in 2003 , a branch church of the Holy Spirit Congregation in Lemgo in the Lemgo-Nordlippe pastoral association of the Bielefeld-Lippe dean's office in the Archdiocese of Paderborn . Today they belong to Lemgo again.
An indication of the current distribution of religions can be the denomination of the students in Dörentrup. Accordingly, in the 2006/2007 school year, 79.4% of the students stated Protestant, 5.4% Catholic and 0.5% Islamic as their religious affiliation. 3.3% stated another religion and 11.3% no denomination.
Incorporations
With the law for the reorganization of the Lemgo district ( Lemgo law ) , the communities Bega, Hillentrup, Humfeld, Schwelentrup and Wendlinghausen were merged to form the new community Dörentrup on January 1, 1969. Subareas from the municipalities of Bega and Humfeld were incorporated into Barntrup.
Since January 1, 1973, the community has belonged to the new Lippe district , which united the former Lemgo and Detmold districts on the basis of the Bielefeld Act .
Population development
The following overview shows the population of the municipality Dörentrup. As of 1975, the figures are official updates from the State Office for Information and Technology in North Rhine-Westphalia . The figures from 1975 to 1985 are estimated values, the figures for 1987 are based on a census and the figures from 1990 are extrapolations based on the results of the 1987 census. The figures relate to the resident population and from 1985 to the population at the location of the Main residence .

The proportion of foreigners is 2.13% and thus well below the national average.
According to the Bertelsmann Stiftung's population forecast, the population of Dörentrup will decrease by around 12.4% compared to 2012 by 2030.
The surveys within the framework of the ILEK program show a population density of 157 inhabitants per square kilometer for the Nordlippe region, with a steep gradient to the regions in the eastern part of the north. This means that the population density of the region is far below the North Rhine-Westphalian average of 530 inhabitants per square kilometer. The region can therefore be described as sparsely populated.

Blazon Description |
Parish partnership
Bayerisch Eisenstein in the Regen district in Bavaria has been Dörentrup's partner municipality since April 1986 . The Musikfreunde Schwelentrup e. V. gave a concert together with a band from Bayerisch Eisenstein at the former tourism company Niebäumer. This is how the first contacts that led to the partnership were made. It is primarily cultivated by the musicians of the two communities through mutual visits.
Culture and sights
Music and theater
Concerts and music competitions take place regularly in the Wendlinghausen Castle and Castle Park.
The Humfeld brass band has around 35 members. The brass orchestra Musikfreunde Schwelentrup consists of over 45 musicians. The Hillentrup-Spork trombone choir has 25 members.
The closest theater is the Landestheater Detmold .
Buildings
The Wendlinghausen Castle stands in the same district. Hilmar the Younger von Münchhausen had it built between 1613 and 1616, presumably by Eberhard Wilkening, in the late Renaissance style. The castle is two-story and rectangular. The front front ends on the left with a stair tower, which is why it is assumed that the addition of a second wing was planned.
The ruins of Alt-Sternberg Castle , whose construction dates from the 9th to 11th centuries. Century back and of which only remains of walls and earth walls are left, is located in the district of Schwelentrup, 1.5 kilometers northwest of Sternberg Castle in the neighboring municipality of Extertal . Alt-Sternberg on a spur of the Mühlingsberg was probably used parallel to the new castle for some time. The castles are the starting point of the early medieval county of Sternberg , which was a neighboring country of the county of Schwalenberg in the 13th century .
On the Piepenkopf there are remains of a refugee castle from the La Tène period . There was probably an associated control room on the neighboring mountain Amelungsburg .
Parks
The Schwelentrup spa park is a 4- hectare spa park that was laid out in 1951 for the Schwelentrup resort in a brook valley. It includes open green areas, small groups of trees and several ponds along a small stream. There is a concert pavilion in the spa gardens.
In the 1970s, the Hillentrup Landscape Park was created as a recreation park on the site of a former clay mining area. The characteristic is the location around a flooded clay pit (Pottkule), which has been recultivated as a near-natural still water with a stream and surrounded by wooded areas and meadow areas.
The Castle Park Wendlinghausen is the historical landscape park at the castle Wendlinghausen . The approximately 2 hectare park dates back to oak trees planted around several ponds in the 18th century. In the 19th century, a family burial was laid out near the castle. The botanically interested lord of the castle Ernst von Reden expanded the area into a park. The Prussian horticultural inspector Paul Lässig redesigned and expanded the park after 1918 on behalf of the lords of the castle. The road network was also laid out at that time. The well-maintained park has largely been preserved in its historical condition. The exotic solitary trees, including an almost two hundred year old tulip tree , a wing nut , a Japanese Kobushi magnolia and several giant trees of life as well as sapindus spruce , are of particular importance. Sculpture exhibitions take place regularly in the park.
Nature reserves
Dörentrup is located in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge nature park . The approximately 500 hectare nature reserve Begatal lies along a 25-kilometer section of the Bega in four municipalities in the Lippe region . The species-rich flora and fauna in the aubareas and in the accompanying trees are protected. The particularly rare animal species include the dipper , the kingfisher , the black woodpecker and 17 different fish species, including the bullhead and the brook lamprey . It is an area of international importance for biotope and species protection and, as a fauna-flora-habitat area, belongs to the European network of protected areas Natura 2000 .
The summit of Steinberg was used by NATO as a missile and radar display between 1963 and 1992 . After the abandonment of the position, the area was declared a nature reserve, which also includes the Alt-Sternberg ruins and extends over 63 hectares , mostly forest. The sealed surfaces of the rocket position have been largely broken open since 1998 under the leadership of NABU and most of the structures dismantled; in addition, small bodies of water were created. One building remained as a shelter for hibernating bats .

Economy and Infrastructure
In 1897 the Lippische Tonwarenfabrik (Litho) was founded, which produced tiles, roof tiles and drainage pipes. Four years later the Dörentrup sand and clay works was founded . Clay pits were opened up on both sides of the Bega and the excavated material was taken for further processing by cable cars. The standard of living of the inhabitants of the Bega valley near Dörentrup was decisively improved by the settlement of the brick and clay industries. In the 1930s, almost 500 people from the surrounding area found work here. For example, the population of Hillentrup rose from around 890 in 1880 to around 1350 in 1910. In 1930 the slate pit was added in the Maibolte on the Lemgo area, from which the raw material was brought to the brickworks by light rail .
The company Litho survived several changes of ownership and management in the first few years. The working conditions in the early years were so harsh that workers were recruited from Bohemia , although there were a large number of migrating bricklayers in Lippe at the time . The Jewish owners of the factory were urged to sell when the factory was Aryanized in 1936 . The Lippe state government under Adolf Wedderwille also tried to acquire the litho, as it held shares in the neighboring Dörentrup sand and clay works . The state government was ultimately defeated in a process. During the war years, 34 Ukrainian female forced laborers worked in the litho factory. Both the sand and clay works and the company Litho, at that time as their supplier, were regarded as armaments factories during the war. Bega train station was attacked by low-flying planes in 1945. The company Litho was not returned to the Jewish owner family until 1952.
At the beginning of the 1970s, the quartz sand and clay deposits were exhausted. That is why the Lippische Tonwarenfabrik ceased production in 1972, while the sand and clay works procured their raw material from other locations. However, the clay and quartz sand mining left deep traces in the landscape. A clay pit was renatured and forms the main body of water in a landscape park.
Tourism is an important industry in the municipality. There are two places to relax in the community : the Schwelentrup district is state-approved and the Hillentrup district is a resort. The number of overnight stays, however, fell from 46,030 to 22,558 or by 50.9% between 1995 and 2005. The numbers have now stabilized. In 2009 around 25,000 overnight stays and 6500 guest arrivals were registered.
In the economic structure, the service sector dominates as the largest branch of the economy with a total of 55.8% of employees. Manufacturing and construction together make up around 24% of the workforce. 4.1% of employees work in agriculture, forestry and fishing, compared to just 0.9% for the country. In the area of quarrying stones and earth, employees who are subject to social security contributions are no longer reported.
The municipality of Dörentrup, along with the neighboring municipalities of Barntrup , Extertal and Kalletal, is part of the Nordlippe funding region , which is particularly affected by demographic and economic structural change in rural areas. This structural change is to be accompanied by the LEADER and ILEK funding programs . The aim is to network the small communities with one another, to develop an integrated rural development concept and to achieve a common external image under the name Nordlippe.
In 2004, Dörentrup offered 997 jobs for 2,873 local employees. Dörentrup therefore has a very high excess of commuters . The destinations of the commuters from Dörentrup are the larger neighboring cities of Lemgo , Detmold and Bad Salzuflen as well as the neighboring regional centers of Bielefeld and Paderborn and the Hameln / Bad Pyrmont area .
Companies
From the Dörentrup sand and clay works , whose roots go back to the year 1873, the CB-Holding emerged as the parent company of the companies Dörentrup Quarz, Dörentrup Feuerfest-Produkte and Dörentrup Ceramic. A. & H. Meyer manufactures lights and office electronics in Dörentrup-Humfeld and Malaysia with over one hundred employees.

On November 2, 1896, the Bielefeld – Hameln railway line was opened between Lemgo and Hameln , with stations in Dörentrup, Farmbeck and Bega. Today it is called the Begatalbahn on this section and the Dörentrup station in the summer months about every four weeks with museum trains of the Landeseisenbahn Lippe e. V. achieved. The same applies to the stations in the districts of Bega and Farmbeck (near Humfeld ).
