history
prehistory
_Mauerreste.JPG)
Individual finds in the burial ground northwest of Bremen indicate the first settlements in the Early and Mesolithic . A more intensive settlement history is documented by grave finds for the end of the Neolithic Age . A good water supply and fertile soil favored the settlement. A triple grave was found on the Fürstenberg. The grave goods indicate belonging to the bell-cup culture.
The barrows on the Fürstenberg and in Bittingen are around 1600 to 1300 BC. Was created. Tools made of stone also played an important role in the Bronze Age. Increased bronze finds in the Enser area have been proven since the transition to the younger Bronze Age. Settlement sites are not verifiable for the subsequent period, but individual finds point to permanent settlement. The later localities of the municipality probably developed from settlements that were established between the 6th and 8th centuries. The subsequent settlement is mainly documented by burial finds.
Middle Ages and Modern Times
Towards the end of the 8th century, the area had developed into a transit area and a stable settlement area through the crossing of the two old northern European trade routes Haarweg and Hellweg . The trade route from Werl to Neheim was of local importance. The area was evangelized from Cologne. By the 9th century, row graves with no side-pieces with a west-east orientation had replaced the earlier grave type with graves, which is seen as evidence of increasing Christianization. During the Carolingian period in the 8th and 9th centuries existing fortifications were built, such as in former times as likely Fliehburg used Burg Oldenburg on the Furstenberg.
Fürstenberg Castle, first mentioned in 1295, is nearby . It was a castle in the Electorate of Cologne and was conquered several times by the Counts of the Mark . It was finally destroyed by the allied Counts von der Mark and von Arnsberg in 1343/44. A few decades later , the noble von Fürstenberg family built Castle Waterlappe nearby . The fortified moated castle Neu-Fürstenberg was significantly younger . This was the seat of a branch of the Fürstenberg family, which died out around 1600. Both aristocratic residences were destroyed in the Thirty Years' War in 1633 .
The first documentary mention of a main town in the municipality of Ense, Bremen , dates from the years between 1081 and 1089. The name could come from the Saxons who conquered the area 300 to 400 years earlier. This is also evidenced by a hill fort on the Fürstenberg. The community name Ense has been handed down since 1207 and comes from the von Ense knight family , whose progenitor was Conrad von Ense and whose ancestral home was in Ense-Oberense and / or Ense-Niederense. In the Middle Ages, the St. Georg monastery in Cologne increasingly acted as a liege lord in the area around Bremen . Members of the von Galen , von Ense and von Fürstenberg families repeatedly entered service in Cologne. The manor house Füchten is located directly on the Ruhr .
In 1586 beat Martin Schenk von Nideggen in the battle on the hair near Bremen an array of Duchy of Westphalia , which in personal union was connected to the Electorate of Cologne. On July 28, 1761, during the Seven Years' War between Prussia and the French, there was a battle over Höingen. The French had to retreat to Arnsberg. As a result, the castle there was destroyed.
19th century
The Bremen office remained dominated by agriculture until the end of the 19th century. Against the background of the poorly developed traffic connections, there were approaches to commercial development mainly in the area of further processing of raw materials that were available in the area. In the early days, the Kuhlhoffsche paper factory processed straw that was delivered from the immediate vicinity. A few looms and sawmills were working, and two grinding mills were operated with water power. With the establishment of a dairy cooperative in Niederense in 1889, dairy farming became more important for farmers in the area. Because of the increase in livestock, the cultivation of forage plants was promoted. However, due to the lower workload, the cultivation of grain remained predominant. The grain as the main food was gradually replaced by the potato. The farms were more closely integrated into the system of supply and demand. Investments were necessary in order to adapt to the changed demand situation. With this in mind, savings and loan funds were founded. The first savings bank in the Bremen office opened in Bremen in 1885. At the end of the 19th century, the parish of Bremen was removed from the office of Körbecke . With the establishment of industrial companies in Wickede and Neheim , more and more factory workers settled in the districts. The places of work were reached on foot or, after 1898, with the newly established small train.
Early 20th century and World War I
Industrialization changed the social composition of the population, and the church's strong influence decreased. The cultural and social life was shaped by the rifle, singing, sociable and military clubs. The rifle clubs went back in part to medieval or early modern rifle brotherhoods. The associations were close to the Catholic Church. Up until the end of the First World War, mechanization made little progress on farms. The daily work was determined by hand and support services. Until the early 1930s, the area was only slightly electrified. Agricultural yields increased through scientific knowledge as well as fertilization and improvement of land use. The farmers produced not only for their own use, but more and more for the free market. During the First World War, agricultural production fell sharply, the army commandeered the most capable draft animals, and the young men were drafted into military service. 80 inhabitants were killed during the war, a large number of whom suffered physical and psychological injuries. After the end of inflation in the mid-twenties, the economic situation improved thanks to subsidy programs and the establishment of cooperatives.
Weimar Republic
During the Weimar Republic , society in the parish of Bremen remained largely traditional and rural, despite technical and industrial innovations. A cross-class Catholicism formed a common system of orientation with regard to common values and cultural orientation. A large part of the population practiced traditional popular piety. The center was the strongest political force until 1932, reaching up to 77% of the vote. The NSDAP achieved 0.8% in 1928, 6.9% in 1930, 10.7% in July 1932, 7.2% in November 1932 and 22.5% in 1933.
National Socialist rule
Even before the National Socialists came to power , a growing group of the population voted for the NSDAP and also joined its groupings. The pioneer here was the warrior club in Niederense. This association celebrated the first National Socialist holiday on May 1, 1933. When the Bremen administrative authorities had to provide information on the descent and political reliability of the staff on June 1, Mayor Nölle emphasized in his letter of information that, according to the requirements, a dismissal of staff is not necessary be. All officials are undoubtedly of Aryan descent and have not yet appeared politically. None of them belonged to Marxism . The associations gradually gave up their democratic association statutes and organized themselves according to the leader principle , at the meetings the members were often sworn to the national cause . Traditional festivals were reshaped by National Socialist festival elements. A certain festive rite was characteristic of the Bremen office. A celebration started with listening to a speech by the Fiihrer or a high official. It was followed by the hero commemoration and honoring deserving followers. As a community-promoting element, flag and torchlight procession were held. The population gathered in the open air or in larger halls. Resistance to this is hardly known. The economy was reorganized, under the concept of the estates, job-specific state institutions were created, which acted authoritarian from top to bottom , a representation of the interests of the working population was excluded. The existing trade union groups were smashed and the German Labor Front formed. From July 1933 a report from the Soester Anzeiger was handed down, according to which all teachers in the city of Werl and the Bremen office were members of the National Socialist teachers' association . According to the Reichserbhofgesetz , 34 farms were classified as hereditary farms in the Bremen office. The volunteer fire brigades in their previous form were dissolved and nine fire engines were set up under the leadership of a fire chief. The organizations of the Hitler Youth , the BDM , Kraft durch Freude, the German women's organization and many others are established. The party base grew wider and more influential. Due to the growing number of members, the NSDAP base in Bremen was reorganized in 1938. Propaganda films were shown by the Gaufilmstätte in the rifle halls and in the Otterstedde restaurant. Officially, there have been no unemployed for years. So-called emergency workers cultivated 10,000 days of wasteland between Günne and Himmelpforten . The Bismarck Tower, which had been a half-finished ruin since the First World War, was completed and inaugurated in honor of the first German Chancellor. HJ homes were built and ceremonially inaugurated in Bremen and Niederense.
Second World War
The Bremen office was largely spared from major destruction during the Second World War . A decisive event was the Möhne disaster on May 17, 1943. After the destruction of the Möhne dam by Allied bombers, the Cistercian monastery Himmelpforten, founded in 1246, and the small town of Himmelpforten were destroyed by the floods. Many residents were killed.
The US Army occupied Ense and the surrounding area on April 1, 1945 without major fighting.
After 1945
The Americans occupied the area and tried to occupy administrative positions with German personnel who were not burdened by the Nazis and to organize everyday post-war life. On May 30, 1945, the Americans were replaced by the British occupying forces . The prisoner-of-war camps in the wider area were closed by August 1945. The food situation in the office was not as precarious as in the urban agglomerations, as the farms were still partly geared towards self-sufficiency. About 70% of the workers also lived in their own small houses and were able to improve their supply situation through gardening. The CDU-affiliated Westfalenpost was the first regional newspaper to appear in April 1946 . On April 1, 1946, the revised German municipal code was introduced in the British zone of occupation , the legislative and executive powers were also separated at the municipal level. The first post-war local elections took place in autumn 1946. The CDU received 319 votes, the center 230. The largest share of the vote with 1,697 fell on the non-party candidates. Christian Cramer (center) became the first official mayor, his two deputies were non-party. The administrative business was carried out by Franz Nölle, who was considered unencumbered. The first organized transports of displaced persons arrived in the summer of 1946 and worsened the situation on the housing market. The population in office increased by 42% from 1939 to 1947. Most of the refugees were housed in Bremen, Niederense and Lüttringen. The population was instructed to give half of their accommodation to the displaced persons and to allow kitchen use. The lack of living space sometimes led to serious conflicts. It was not until 1950 that significant residential construction began, which led to a calming down. The 1950s and 1960s were characterized by considerable new housing construction and advancing industrialization. The population continued to grow through the settlement of trade and industry, and extensive measures to improve the infrastructure were carried out. The power grids and the sewer system as well as the roads were expanded across the board. The farms became fewer. In the seventies, the image of the individual districts changed fundamentally. A number of historical buildings were demolished and replaced by new ones, streets were expanded to make them suitable for cars, regardless of the historical building fabric.
Municipal reorganization
The municipality of Ense was created on July 1, 1969 due to the law to reorganize the district of Soest and parts of the district of Beckum . The previous municipalities of the office of Bremen Bilme, Bittingen, Bremen, Gerlingen, Höingen, Hünningen, Lüttringen, Niederense, Oberense, Parsit, Ruhne, Sieveringen, Volhaben and Waltringen have been merged to form the new municipality of Ense. The Bremen office was dissolved. Bremen became the administrative seat of the newly formed community.

Together with their parishes, they belong to the Ense pastoral network in the Hellweg deanery of the Archdiocese of Paderborn .
In the post-war period, Protestant believers first met in private rooms for Bible readings or went to the Protestant churches in Werl or Neheim. The Protestant Christians have been using the St. Anna Chapel in Niederense since 1946 and have rented it since 1976. The Pauluskirche in Bremen also exists.
