history

Urn finds show that Lieme was already settled in the early Iron Age (880–450 BC). The settlement site at the Bega was due to an old traffic route and was probably first one Villikationshof the Bill Unger . The place is first mentioned in the second half of the 12th century. The name comes from the Lemgo aristocratic family de Liem , who owned properties there. In 1386 the ruler of Lippe, Simon III. and the city of Herford signed a contract from which it emerged that disputes between both parties were to be resolved at the Liemer Turmhof .

A two-column house on the Obermeyer farm is considered the oldest surviving farmhouse in Lippe. In the 18th century the half-timbered house was converted into a body penitentiary .

In the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) the county of Lippe had declared itself neutral. Nevertheless, Christian von Braunschweig marched through Lippe in 1621 with an army of 22,000 men and camped on the Liemer Heide. In the following years, too, there were repeated attacks by foreign troops who plundered and murdered through the country. Horses were taken from the stables of the Liem farmers, their cattle slaughtered, seeds, household appliances, bedding and clothing stolen and houses destroyed. In 1635, the Liemer farmers built a wooden watch and observation tower, which stood on a hill south of today's open-air swimming pool. From here you could see the western access roads to the village and warn the residents in good time of approaching troops. The remaining damage reports from the farmers to the Brake Office document the losses caused by the war.

Two boys from Lieme-Lückhausen were also involved in the Lemgo witch trials . The accused, teacher Hermann Beschoren , is said to have seduced many of his students into an alliance with the devil . Since they did not come from Lemgo, Count Hermann Adolf demanded the extradition of the children, the brothers Hermann Christoph and Barthold Niedermeier, and had them interrogated in Detmold. During the interrogation, they accused themselves of the sorcery they had learned from their teacher. Beschoren was executed on September 26, 1654 in Lemgo. The children were placed in an inn in Detmold under the supervision of the teacher Heinrich Henkhausen. Here they were converted and educated according to the specifications of the Lippe Consistory and released after four years.

The German doctor and world traveler Engelbert Kaempfer lived in Lieme, on the Steinhof zu Lieme , from 1694 until his death in 1716 . He lived here with his wife Maria Sophia Wilstach and their three children. Engelbert Kaempfer wrote his main work Amoenitatum exoticarum at the Steinhof ... His house has not been preserved.

The church records for the years 1750 to 1811 indicate that Lieme was hit by nine epidemics during this time . Children in particular fell victim to the epidemics, mainly smallpox . In 1753, 32 children died from smallpox, in 1767/68 29 children from whooping cough and smallpox, in 1769 8 children from diphtheria and smallpox, 1770 6 children from smallpox and measles , 1779/80 24 children from smallpox and red dysentery , in 1790 26 children from smallpox , 1795 6 children from smallpox and 1799 25 children also from smallpox.

In the 19th century, a number of young people from Lieme emigrated to North America because they saw no professional prospects in their homeland. Some of them also left Lippe illegally, so that the actual total number of emigrants cannot be determined. The files of the Detmold State Archives show that around 50 people left the village of Lieme between 1846 and 1895. Maries County in Missouri in the United States was particularly popular with emigrants from Lippe , where the Low German mother tongue had been retained as a colloquial language.

Lieme was incorporated into Lemgo on January 1, 1969.
