Altenböddeken is a settlement in the Haarener Wald, which lies on the city limits of the city of Büren to the city of Bad Wünnenberg . The place consists of a few homesteads that lie along the narrow village road. The first homestead at the entrance to the village is a forester's house, where the forester responsible for the Altenböddeken state forest used to live. Today the house is inhabited by private individuals. In the middle of the settlement are two of the local ponds . At the end of the paved road is a farm that owns most of the town's land.
history
At the beginning of the 14th century Altenböddeken was known for its fish ponds, which had previously been discovered by monks of the Böddeken monastery. Gradually, people settled. In the past, Altenböddeken was an old settlement with a high standing. The Amtshof located in the village with its 16 farmsteads dependent on it belonged to the Böddeken monastery , which is only a few kilometers away . In 1449, the village was designated as deserted (abandoned) for the first time. From then on, no records or events are known. At the beginning of the 19th century people began to settle the place again, this happened with the construction of the Altenböddeken glassworks in 1807. They formed an independent settlement around the glass factory. For the year 1818, the local history of Wewelsburg records "82 souls and 14 houses" there. In 1840, 83 people lived near the glassworks. In 1881 the glassworks stopped operating. Thus the settlers emigrated and Altenböddeken was abandoned again. Only the Becker farm, which was built a few years before the glass factory was built, remained. After August Becker's death, Franz Klocke took over the farm in 1876. He received the areas of the glass factory. Today no more than 10 people live here. There are still 5 houses and the Klocke farm, which continues to cultivate the land. The former glassblower cemetery, where the last settler was buried in 1928, was converted into an urn cemetery in 2008.
The glassblower cemetery near the village was built especially for the glassworks .
