geography

Geographical location

The Warburg district essentially comprises the southern Upper Weserbergland between the Eggegebirge in the west and the West Hessian mountains in the south and east. The central landscape of the district is the Warburger Börde . The Rhine-Weser watershed lies on the main ridge of the Egge , so that the district is drained through Nethe and Diemel to the east towards the Weser .

At the beginning of 1972, the Warburg district bordered clockwise in the north, beginning with the Höxter district (in North Rhine-Westphalia), the Hofgeismar , Wolfhagen and Waldeck districts (all in Hesse ) and the Büren and Paderborn districts (both again in North Rhine-Westphalia) .

history

A first district of Warburg was established as early as 1803 after the Principality of Paderborn fell to Prussia . In addition to the area of ​​the Warburg district, which was re-established in 1816, this district also included the offices of Beverungen-Herstelle, Lichtenau and Wünnenberg. From 1807 to 1813 the district belonged to the Kingdom of Westphalia , then fell back to Prussia and from 1815 belonged to the administrative district of Minden .

When the administrative district of Minden was divided into districts, a district of Warburg was set up again on August 1, 1816. It was initially divided into the six administrative districts of Borgentreich , Dringenberg , Gehrden , Peckelsheim , Rösebeck and Warburg, also known as mayors ' offices . These administrative units emerged from six cantons of the same name , which had been set up in 1807 in the Fulda department of the Kingdom of Westphalia .

As part of the introduction of the rural community order for the province of Westphalia, the district was divided into the two unofficial cities of Borgentreich and Warburg as well as the five offices of Borgholz , Dringenberg , Gehrden , Peckelsheim and Warburg with a total of 47 communities and three manor districts. The offices of Dringenberg and Gehrden had a common bailiff from the beginning and formed the common office of Dringenberg-Gehrden from 1857/58 . In 1852 Kleinenberg sought a connection to the Warburg district because of the miserable traffic connection with his district town of Büren; the application was rejected by the competent authorities of the district president in Minden.

From 1852 to 1876 the district office was located in Peckelsheim with the approval of the district council and the district president, which was in the district more central and closer to the residence of the then district administrator in Helmern (Willebadessen) . During these years, the district administrator had to hold a consultation hour in Warburg once a week. However, the district meetings that have met since 1828 still took place in Warburg.

It was not until 1909 that the district administration built its own administration building on Warburg Bahnhofstrasse, forced by the ever increasing number of tasks and the growing number of civil servants and employees. In 1961/63 the extension was built as part of renovation work. Only this extension is used today as a branch of the Höxter district, while the main building has been available to the Warburg city administration as headquarters since the 1980s.

In 1920 the manor district of Dinkelburg was incorporated into the municipality of Körbecke . In 1928 the manor districts of Niesen and Schweckhausen were incorporated into the communities of the same name. The Warburg Office was renamed Warburg-Land Office in 1932 . In 1937 the city of Borgentreich joined the Borgholz office, which has since been called the Borgentreich office .

On October 1, 1969, the district became the district of Warburg.

On January 1, 1975, the Warburg district and its four offices were dissolved by the Sauerland / Paderborn law and merged with the old Höxter district to form the new Höxter district. At the same time Auenhausen , Frohnhausen , Gehrden , Hampenhausen and Siddessen were incorporated into the city of Brakel and Dringenberg , Kühlsen and Neuenheerse into the city of Bad Driburg . All other communities went up in the three cities of Borgentreich, Willebadessen and Warburg.

In the joint area change agreement of the districts of Warburg and Höxter of July 1974 on the reorganization of the district, it was agreed in § 1 to name the joint new district as the Brakel district with its seat in Brakel . This contract was accepted by the Höxter district council at the meeting on July 23, 1974 with regard to §1 with 24 yes- against 18 against and 1 abstention and §§ 2-19 with 2 against and 1 abstention. Despite the consent of the Warburg district council to this area change agreement, the state parliament's decision on the Sauerland / Paderborn law there decided with a narrow majority in favor of the new district name District Höxter with its seat in Höxter and thus against the previously agreed area change agreement. Even naming the new district as the Höxter-Warburg district, comparable to the formation of the new Minden-Lübbecke district, was not approved by the state parliament in Düsseldorf.
