history

General

Catholic Church of St. Achatius

The chronicler Gobelin Person , who lives in the Böddeken monastery , spoke in the 15th century that there was a church in Atteln as early as the 9th century. The construction of a St. Achatius church by the Paderborn Abdinghof monastery is documented for the beginning of the 12th century . For the surrounding villages, Atteln was a main place in the prince-bishopric of Paderborn, both from a religious and an administrative point of view (parish church, free chair / court) . There is evidence of a knight's seat of the Lords of Atteln in the 13th century. Atteln was probably less affected by the regional desertification period in the late Middle Ages. In the course of the Counter Reformation , the parish church of St. Achatius was rebuilt in the baroque style in 1712 .

Witch trials

From 1597 to 1611 witch trials were carried out in Borchen . 13 people from Etteln were charged with alleged sorcery, nine people were burned in Etteln and three people in Atteln, including Elisabeth Schaefer , Margaretha Vogt , "Die Josepsche" von Etteln and Gertraud Kneips .

Modern times

Atteln became Prussian during the occupation of the Principality of Paderborn in 1802 and became part of the German Empire in 1871 .

Before January 1, 1975, the former municipality of Atteln was the seat of the administrative office for the surrounding areas of the Atteln office in the Büren district . With the entry into force of the Sauerland / Paderborn law on this day, most of the municipalities of the Atteln office will be merged with the municipalities of the Lichtenau office to form the new city of Lichtenau (Westphalia) and will become part of the Paderborn district. The legal successor to the office and the municipality of Atteln is the city of Lichtenau.

Flood

After the towns on the Sauer and Altenau rivers, such as Atteln, were often affected by floods - especially in 1965 - the Sudheim flood retention basin was built on the Saueroberlauf near Lichtenau (1978–1980), and the Ebbinghausen flood retention basin (1974–1976 ) on the Sauerunterlauf between Ebbinghausen and Atteln ) and the flood retention basin Husen-Dalheim (1982–1984) was built on the Altenau headwaters .
