About this picture

Lage is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany and belongs to the Lippe district . The city is known as the Lippe traffic junction, as "Zieglerstadt", "Zuckerstadt" and "Stadt des Sports".

geography

Geographical location

Location is about 9 km northwest of Detmold not far from the Teutoburg Forest in the Werre Valley in East Westphalia-Lippe . The Hörste district in the middle of the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge nature park is a state-approved climatic health resort .

Waters

The were in situation

The Werre flows through the urban area from southeast to northwest. Almost the entire area is drained via this river, which flows into the North Sea via the Weser . Within the urban area, several other streams that come exclusively from the south flow directly into the Werre. These include from Pivitsheide VL coming Rethlager Bach , who made must incoming Rothenbach and in Helpup springing oat Bach . An exception is the Oetternbach , which flows through the northeastern urban area, as it initially flows into the Bega . The Bega also grazes the northern urban area of ​​Lage. There is also a large number of ponds and lakes near Waddenhausen and Müssen , which are relics of past or still ongoing dredging work for gravel and sand extraction.

geology

Geothermal map of location

Location is in the East Westphalian hill country, which consists of clay marl , limestone and sandstones from Triassic , Jura and Chalk . The 1000 to 2000 meter thick sedimentary rocks formed many saddles, hollows, clumps and ditches. Rocks from the Middle Ages can be found at greater depths. In the northeastern foreland of the low mountain range, on the slopes and in the valleys, there are gravel , sand , ground moraine and loess . Rock salt and gypsum are dissolved in the deep subsoil .

The suitability of the Lagens urban area for the use of geothermal energy varies greatly depending on the location. There are few locations that are well to very well suited for the use of geothermal heat sources by means of geothermal probes and heat recovery through heat pump heating . For the most part, the suitability is rather mediocre, occasionally poor (see the adjacent map).

Expansion and use of the urban area

Lage is classified as a small medium-sized town and is 76.02 km² in size. The majority of the area, namely 56.9%, is used for agriculture. Compared to other cities in North Rhine-Westphalia, Lage is on average. At 17.2%, the forest area is slightly lower than the national average. On the other hand, the location with a building, open and operating area of ​​14.5% shows a higher value than the average.

history

The place name Lage probably refers to a low, forest-free, swampy area between forests in the Werreaue. This topographical place name (previously often used with a preposition and always a feminine article: "to der Lage", after the location ) then slowly passed over to the emerging locality.

The origin of Lages in the market church St. Johann

Ev.-ref. Market Church St. Johann

The place is first mentioned in a document dated February 1, 1274 with the following formulation: "Jordanus plebanus in Lagis" . This confirms to the local clergyman that he has earned some kind of annuity. 1274 can therefore be regarded as the year of foundation of the location, although it is not the year the city was founded. The church reference of the first mention makes it clear how essential the approx. 1000 year old market church is for the development of Lages. Its foundation goes back to the time before the first turn of the millennium. At that time the Franks conquered the area of ​​the pagan Saxons under Charlemagne. Efforts quickly arose to proselytize in the pagan area. Therefore, the market church was founded as a parent church. The location was well chosen: the church was built directly at a ford of the Werre, but about three meters above the Werre floodplain (to protect against flooding), in the middle of fertile land. This point is also referred to as the "germ cell Lages". It was, so to speak, the starting point for the settlement of the surrounding area, which is known today as the location. Settlements gradually emerged around the market church, initially through the rectory and a group of courtyards. Over time, more courtyards, the first classic residential houses (half-timbered houses) and a mill were added.

Marketplace in downtown location

The development of Lages from place to city

At the time of the High Middle Ages, the place was very popular with a comparatively large number of settlers. The reason for this was presumably the special privileges of the citizens of Lages, which can be explained by the elevation of the place as a soft picture . The increase in population increased further. However, it only took on rapid proportions between the 18th and 19th centuries: in 1823 the city had 60% more inhabitants than at the end of the previous century. The settlement had also expanded significantly during this period and exceeded the medieval borders. The desire to finally be formally recognized as a city grew stronger. Starting in 1817, intensive efforts were therefore made, which finally resulted in the granting of city rights in 1843.

Formative themes Lages as a city

The Brinkmann house after its reconstruction on Heidenschen Strasse

In the 18th and 19th centuries, Lage was the most important meeting place for the Lippe migratory goats ; the brickworks museum of Lage is one of the themes of its history.

Sugar has played an important role in the city since the 19th century; Every autumn, beet trucks drive from the surrounding area to the Lagenser sugar factory, which was founded in 1884 .

After the construction of an athletics stadium, the 1980s saw itself as the “City of Sports”; the Werreanger sports center is used by the German Athletics Association (DLV) as a performance base.

Air crash in 1979

On June 18, 1979 during a training flight, a fighter aircraft of type crashed F-4 "Phantom" of Fighter Squadron 71 of the Air Force and fell into a residence in the district of Hagen. The two crew members and five residents were killed. Following an unauthorized greeting loop over the copilot's parents' house, the aircraft's afterburner failed and thus triggered the catastrophe. The mere fact that the accident machine got stuck due to the partial basement in the destroyed house prevented a much larger accident.

Location as a transport hub

Lages' function as a traffic junction is significant. The very old roads that converged on the Werrefurt from different directions became federal highways and railway lines in the modern age. The medieval ascent to a church and market town, later from Weichbild to arable town, was also due to its geographical transport function.

Today, Lage is the intersection of federal highway 66 , which leads northeast to Lemgo and west-southwest to Bielefeld , and federal highway 239 , which leads north-northwest to Bad Salzuflen and south-east to Detmold .

The railroad tracks roughly lead along the connections to neighboring cities described by the federal highways.

hospital

Lage does not have its own hospital. The Detmold and Lemgo locations of the Lippe Clinic, however, are only about ten kilometers away.

Religions

There are a number of different religious communities in Lage. Since Lage is in the Protestant district of Lippe, the number of Protestant parishes is predominant.

The city of Lage currently has the following municipalities:

The number of relatively many free church communities is remarkable . This is due to the fact that since the mid-1960s, and especially since the early 1990s, numerous ethnic German repatriates from Eastern Europe and late repatriates from the CIS states have settled in Lage, a majority of whom are committed to the free churches.

Denomination statistics

According to the census on May 9, 2011, 9.1% of the population were Roman Catholic, 48.9% Protestant and 41.9% belonged to other denominations or religious communities or were non-denominational. At the end of 2016, 3,281 (8.7%) of the 37,542 inhabitants were Roman Catholic, 44.4% Protestant and 17,623 (46.9%) belonged to other denominations or religious communities or were non-denominational. At the end of 2019, half of the citizens were neither Protestant nor Protestant Catholic.

Incorporations

On the basis of Section 1 of the law on the reorganization of the Detmold district of December 2, 1969, the previous city of Lage and the communities of Billinghausen, Ehrentrup, Hagen, Hardissen, Hedderhagen, Heiden, Heßloh, Hörste, Müssen, and Ohrsen became effective from January 1, 1970 , Pottenhausen, Waddenhausen and Wissentrup as well as the municipality of Kachtenhausen ( Lemgo district ) merged to form a new municipality that was incorporated into the Detmold district. The community was named Lage and is called "City". Parts of the previous municipality of Kachtenhausen were incorporated into the city of Oerlinghausen (Lemgo district) and parts of the previous municipality of Hörste into the municipality of Augustdorf.

coat of arms

City coat of arms location

With a deed dated July 3, 1970, the city of Lage was granted the right to use a coat of arms.

Description of coat of arms: The coat of arms of the city shows a blue plow iron turned to the left in gold.

The first imprint of a seal from 1601 shows the plow turned to the left. The coat of arms of the town hall tower from 1663 shows the plow turned to the right. In the railing of the town hall from 1956 you can find the plow turned to the left. Only two years earlier the city had been awarded a seal with the oldest verifiable representation of the plow.

After the First World War, Lage led the city colors red and green, as the coat of arms used had a red bar. In 1933 the colors of the Lippe cities were redefined. In Lage, the colors yellow and blue were chosen. In a document dated November 19, 1954, the city was given a coat of arms, a seal and a flag.

Town twinning

Since 1977 the location to the city of St. Johann im Pongau ( Austria ) maintains a friendly city connection. A special train runs to the twin city about every two and a half years. Up to 550 people take part in these trips. Many of Lagens pupils went skiing for the first time in St. Johann. The St. Johann peasant band or the citizens' music take part in the shooting festival in Lage.

The younger partnership is with Horsham ( Great Britain ). Citizens have been visiting regularly since 1985. In particular, the Lagens high school and the partner schools in Horsham maintain a lively exchange.

From June 1st, 1984 to December 31st, 200288 there was a sponsorship with the tank battalion 214 in Augustdorf . It was founded on the occasion of the battalion's 25th anniversary. On December 4th 1997 the sponsorship was confirmed and a sponsorship badge was ceremoniously handed over. It ended with the battalion's decommissioning.

Culture and sights

Buildings

The market church of St. Johann was built in the 10th century and converted into a Romanesque single-nave church. In the 15th century it was converted into today's late Gothic, three-aisled hall church. The Marienglocke from 1518 is one of the oldest church bells in Lippe.

VHS and music school in the former technical center
The neo-Gothic mansion was acquired by the Corvey Monastery around the turn of the millennium . The castle is privately owned, so only the outside area can be visited. The castle was a medieval tower hill complex, parts of which are still preserved from the curtain wall.
  • Old district court
Built between 1879 and 1881 in classicist forms. In 1979 the district court was dissolved and the building was given a new use. Today it houses a law firm.
  • Old prison
Small house in the style of a Kottens in the Plaßstrasse. Served mainly to accommodate the defendants for the duration of the trial at the district court. Today it has more of a museum character.
Erected in 1863 in neo-Gothic form. 1904/05 increased by Gustav Messmann and changed in forms of Art Nouveau.
The main building was built in the neoclassical style between 1924 and 1926. From 1971 it was incorporated into the Lippe University of Applied Sciences, today the Technical University of Ostwestfalen-Lippe , but 10 years later this department in Lage was dissolved again. In 1988 the building was listed and finally acquired, rebuilt and restored by the city in 1993. Since 1995 the former technical center has housed the Lage Music School, the Lippe-West Adult Education Center and the Dotti Foundation.
The Wilhelmsburg at Lager Berg in Lage
  • Wilhelmsburg
Built in 1892 by Freiherr Wilhelm Borsdorf as a hostel for travelers in view of the enthusiasm for the emperor and empire at the time. The popular excursion site is reminiscent of a medieval fortification. It was built on an elevated position on the edge of the Lagenser city forest and therefore offers a wonderful view of the Teutoburg Forest and the Lippe mountainous region. Today the Wilhelmsburg houses a large Asian restaurant.
  • Residential buildings
Only a few of the numerous half-timbered buildings that shaped the town center have survived. One of the oldest is Haus Seppmann (Bergstrasse 23), designated in 1648, which is provided with carved panels. According to the inscription, it was built in 1648 and completely renovated in 1922/23. The commercial building at Lange Straße 64, which was built around 1640/50 and an annex was added in 1912, is believed to date from the same time. The Rhienstraße has further half-timbered buildings. In the house with the number 6 (Restaurant "Little Schröder") is, to a arisings by 1700 Dielenhaus that as a bow window features as the 1658 dated building at number 32. Only slightly younger Rhienstraße 43, a 1663 created Two-column construction.
Critics accuse the city of not being very careful with the historical buildings in the inner city of Lage until the recent past. The Brinkmannsche Haus, a well-preserved three-column half-timbered building from 1658, had to give way in 1983 to a new building complex known as the “West Gate”. Although the house was rebuilt shortly afterwards on Heidenschen Straße, the original structure was almost completely destroyed and only a few old beams were reused. Despite the extensive loss of monument status, the building is still listed in the city of Lage's list of monuments.
The so-called " Old Castle " on Friedrich-Petri-Straße, which originally served as a bailiwick , was one of the most important and oldest secular buildings in the town . The half-timbered building was dendrochronologically dated to the year 1618. As the necessary maintenance measures were not carried out on the building that was last owned by the city and is a listed building, it was finally canceled due to its dilapidation.

In addition to the musical work, MGV Liederheim has been organizing a large carnival session every year since 1960, which is known far beyond the city limits because of its national and local political coloring.

Parks

The urban Peace Park extends over 2.1 hectares and is located on the northeastern edge of the old town center. The park was created in 1956 from the former cemetery of the Protestant parish. It is completely surrounded by a limestone wall. On the western edge there is a memorial for those who died in the world wars, and some gravestones have been preserved.

Infrastructure and economy

traffic

Rail and bus transport

Station in location

The station Lage (Lippe) is located on the railway line Herford-Altenbeken that here with the Begatalbahn crosses. This location played a major economic role for the city until the 1970s, which is reflected, among other things, in the station area, which is unusually large for the small city. With the general decline in rail freight traffic, the city lost this role.

In addition, there is also the Ehlenbruch train station in the Kachtenhausen district, which is served every hour by the RB 73 (Bielefeld-Lemgo).

Furthermore, the district of Waddenhausen is indirectly connected to the Herford – Paderborn line through the Sylbach stop near the border in the neighboring town of Bad Salzuflen. Since this stop is in the area of Holzhausen (city of Bad Salzuflen), it belongs to the tariff area of ​​Bad Salzuflen.

In local public transport, there are mostly hourly traffic:

Local rail passenger transport is carried out by the Eurobahn with electric motor coaches of the Flirt type and with Talent diesel motor coaches .

The station is barrier-free and has a station mission .

A central bus station (ZOB) has been built in the immediate vicinity of the Lage train station since 2016 . There is a direct connection to the four platform tracks from the total of six stops .

There are regular regional bus connections to Lemgo (line 748), Detmold (line 750) and Oerlinghausen (line 769). City lines (748, 749 to Waddenhausen , 951) mostly run every hour. Line 951 runs through the districts of Müssen , Billinghausen , Stapelage , Hörste and back and is operated by the bus company “Wellhausen GmbH & Co KG”.

The city is in the tariff area of ​​the regional tariff association "Der Sechser" ( OWL Verkehr GmbH ); the NRW tariff also applies .

The private broadcaster Radio Lippe broadcasts local news and reports from the Lippe district. The regional office Detmold of the WDR studio in Bielefeld represents the public broadcasting in the district.

Public facilities

The Stadtwerke location are responsible for the water and gas supply in the city. Thus, the municipal utilities are also the operator of the 269 km long gas and 450 km long water network. To maintain the water pressure and water supply, three pressure boosting stations and eight elevated tanks with a capacity of 3000 m³ are operated.

The city of Lage has had a volunteer fire brigade since 1873 . It is divided into six fire fighting trains and groups, each with its own fire station and thus covering the supply of all districts.
