history

Alverdissen around 1663

The place Alverdissen is mentioned for the first time in 1151 in a register of the possessions of the Herford Abbey as Alwardessen .

Due to the favorable location (fertile soil, headwaters of a river ...) it can be assumed that there was a settlement here that was inhabited by Saxons as early as the time of Charlemagne .

Around 1370 Alverdissen received town charter from the Counts of Sternberg , which the place probably lost again in 1424, as Alverdissen was completely destroyed due to a feud between the nobleman of the Lippe and the Count of Schaumburg. The castle was also affected.

After the reconstruction, Alverdissen got the status of a patch . Between 40 and 80 people lived there at the time.

In the 16th century, as in the rest of the County of Lippe, the Reformation took hold, so that the Alverdiss population became Protestant .

From 1613 to 1777 Alverdissen was the seat of a branch line of the Counts of Lippe , who received the office and Alverdissen Castle as a paragium from the ruling Detmold line. The first count was Philip I , who in 1640/1647 was able to acquire part of the county of Schaumburg, including the Bückeburg residence , and united it to form the county of Schaumburg-Lippe . His son Friedrich Christian was the builder of the Alverdissen Palace (1662) and followed him in 1681 in the Bückeburg reign; another son, Philipp I Ernst (1659–1723), took over the castle and office of Alverdissen. The last Alverdisser count was Philip II Ernst , who had initially embarked on a military career and around 1770 was lieutenant general and commander of the prince-bishop's troops in Munster . He secured his power in Alverdissen through officials and some soldiers. After the Bückeburg Count Wilhelm died childless, Philip II Ernst became regent in Bückeburg in 1777. In 1812 the Detmold princess Pauline zur Lippe bought the Alverdissen palace and office back from the princes of Schaumburg-Lippe; Alverdissen subsequently became the administrative seat of the Lippe office of Sternberg.

In 1842/43 a new church was built by the Evangelical Reformed community of Alverdissen ; the church tower dates back to 1555.

The main livelihood of the inhabitants was agriculture until the 19th century . Since the income from agriculture was mostly insufficient due to the small size of the farm, many men worked full-time as bricklayers due to a lack of industrial jobs . In 1930 there were still around 100 Zieglers living in Alverdissen.

In the 20th century the area of ​​Alverdissen was economically revived by the development of the cigar industry and other new branches of the economy.

As a result of the Second World War , 570 new residents moved to Alverdissen. The majority of them were expellees and war refugees from the former eastern territories of the German Reich.

Alverdissen has belonged to the city of Barntrup since January 1st, 1969. Many residents of the area took this negatively, because they had the feeling of being “degraded to a small district” by an independent community with 800 years of history.

coat of arms

The Alverdiss coat of arms was designed by Helmut Welsch in 1958, but is based on the seal on a document dated June 11, 1767.

The following wording was published in the official gazette of the Detmold administrative district on July 14, 1958, page 168: With a document dated July 9, 1958, the Minister of the Interior of North Rhine-Westphalia has the right to use a coat of arms and a Seal awarded. The coat of arms description: In gold (yellow) a red battlement wall with two small black arched windows and a closed gate, above a half red eight-pointed star. In the silver (white) head of the shield a half lip-shaped five-petalled rose with golden (yellow) clusters and sepals.

The Lippische Rose and the Sternberger Stern indicate the eventful history; the city wall indicates the former importance of the fortified place with city rights.

Evangelical Reformed Parish Church of Alverdissen
  • A church was first mentioned in a document for Alverdissen in 1511. The west tower was built in 1555. Today's evangelical-reformed parish church was built in 1842/43 as a simple rectangular hall building according to plans by the Detmold architect Ferdinand Ludwig August Merckel . The originally pointed arched windows were replaced by tall rectangular openings as part of a comprehensive renovation between 1951 and 1954. The crypt extension attached to the tower was created in 1723/24 on behalf of Countess Dorothea Amalie zu Lippe-Alverdissen. A total of 9 members of the count's family found their final resting place in it. In the tower hall there are wall paintings from the second half of the 16th century, which were uncovered during renovation work in the 1950s.
  • The Castle Alverdissen is located on the site of one of the Counts of Sternberg founded castle, which was first mentioned in 1396. It was built in 1662/63 as a three-storey building with a half-hipped roof and a stair tower in front. The building was redesigned several times in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today it presents itself as a simple, plastered rectangular building with a gable roof, which is covered with Solling panels . At the front there is a gable in neo-renaissance forms. The castle was used as a district court from 1879 to 1969, after which it served as a branch of the State Archives until it was sold to a private person in 2009.

Hintere Straße 4 dates from the middle of the 17th century . The building, which is currently vacant, was badly damaged in the ground floor area due to a non-listed building. Parts of the half-timbered construction were removed and replaced by masonry, which is broken through by large windows.
