history

Church in Arenborn

The first written mention of the place Arenborn comes from the year 1288. You can find it under the name Aarhornem and Ahornheim , which means something like "spring under the maple trees". Even before it was first mentioned, Charlemagne sent monks to the Arenborn area in the 8th century to encourage Christianization. From the end of the 14th century, the place was dependent on the Lippoldsberg monastery , to which it was obliged to pay tithes . The place belonged to the dominion of the castle Gieselwerder and in 1462 moved with this from Kurmainz to the Landgraviate of Hessen . In the 16th century the official seat changed and Arenborn now belonged to the newly established Sababurg Office.

The oldest local area in the center around the church was supplemented by local extensions in the 18th and 19th centuries. The local expansions of the 20th century are comparatively small.

After funds were collected for the construction of a Protestant church in 1819 and again in 1868, the new building was finally completed in 1911/12 by the Kassel-based architect Johannes Walpert. To this day, the church largely shows the appearance and furnishings of the construction period both inside and outside. The alternation of visible masonry and uncovered half-timbering corresponds to the Heimatschutz style to which the church can be assigned stylistically.

The still strongly rural place had been part of the municipality of Oberweser since February 1, 1971 , which merged with Wahlsburg to form the Wesertal municipality on January 1, 2020 .

Economy and tourism

There are no guest beds in Arenborn and the tourist infrastructure is still underdeveloped. It essentially consists of a Kneipp basin, a barbecue hut and a local history museum, which is open on Sunday afternoons in the summer months .
