Rietberg [ 'riːtbɛʁk ] is a town on the upper Ems in northeast North Rhine-Westphalia and belongs to the East Westphalian district of Gütersloh in the administrative district of Detmold . The city with more than 29,000 inhabitants is located around 25 kilometers southwest of Bielefeld .
Rietberg was first mentioned around 1100 under the name Rietbike . The current name Rietberg is derived from Reet , due to the moors in the city, and from Bike (brook). The city and its districts developed from the county of Rietberg , which was an independent territory until 1807. The core city was built north of Rietberg Castle . 1815 came Rietberg of Prussia , which in 1843 after the Westphalian State Municipal Code , the Office Rietberg instituted. The independent municipalities of the office were merged on January 1, 1970 during the territorial reform to form today's city of Rietberg.
In the town center there are many preserved houses that were built in the 16th and 17th centuries, which is why Rietberg is also known as the “town of beautiful gables”. In 2008, Rietberg hosted the state horticultural show . Since June 2009, the city center has had the “State Recognized Resort ” seal of approval .
geography
Geographical location
Rietberg is located in the south of the Gütersloh district , which politically belongs to the Detmold administrative district in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany . In terms of nature, the city is located in the Ems sand plain in the east of the Westphalian Bay on the Ems . Other notable rivers are the Wapel and the Sennebach . Most of the streams and rivers in the city flow into the Ems. The flowing waters in the extreme south lead over the Glenne into the Lippe and thus ultimately into the Rhine .
The nearest larger cities are Rheda-Wiedenbrück in the west, Gütersloh in 14 km and Bielefeld in 26 km, in the south-east Paderborn in 27 km and in the south Lippstadt in 18 km.
The highest point in the city is at 93 m above sea level. NN , the lowest at 74 m above sea level. NN .
geology
The area of the municipality is flat and poorly divided. The deep layer of the earth is formed by a base of folded rocks from the ancient world ( Devonian , Carboniferous ). Above it are silt marl and clay marl stones from the Middle Ages ( Upper Cretaceous ), which can reach a thickness of more than 800 m and in some cases reach to the surface of the earth, for example on the chalk hills of Westerwiehe .
The surface layer is made up almost entirely of fine-grained loose rock. These sands and silts were deposited by the Ems and its tributaries during the Ice Age and in the geological present epoch, i.e. for about 10,000 years, and formed into flat lowlands by erosion. For example, in the Emsaue east of the urban area, in the post-ice age, deep-lying areas were bogged.
Rietberg is medium to good, and in small parts of the eastern municipality very good, for the use of geothermal heat sources by means of a geothermal probe and heat recovery through heat pump heating (see the adjacent map).
Expansion and use of the municipal area
The municipality, classified as a small medium- sized town, covers an area of 110.31 km². The largest extension in north-south direction is around 14 km, in east-west direction around 18 km.
The majority of the municipal area consists of agricultural land with 72.3%. This is 20 percentage points higher than the national average, but is well within the average of the rural Gütersloh district. In contrast, the forest area is 22 percentage points below the national average. The remaining areas are at state level.

history
First settlement and Rietberg Castle
The area around Rietberg was already populated by people in the Paleolithic . This is borne out by findings made in 1973 on the southern edge of the city. Remains of living spaces were found in the Große Höppe .
Rietberg was first mentioned as Rietbike around 1100. The name originated from the merging of Ried (for reed) and Bach. Already in the 11th century Rietberg was as a here fortress was built - probably as a border fortress of the counts of Werl-Arnsberg against Paderborn . Craftsmen and merchants settled in the shadow of the castle. Later this settlement was fortified, the main street was today's "Rügenstraße".
The county of Rietberg
On September 1, 1273, the inheritance of Count Gottfried II von Arnsberg and Konrad I von Cuyk-Arnsberg was divided . Count Konrad made the area north of the Lippe into an independent territory and named it " Grafschaft Rietberg " after the castle there . He called himself Graf von Rietberg. The rulership stretched from Schloss Holte / Liemke in the north to Mastholte in the south. In the east it bordered on the prince-bishopric of Paderborn , in the west on the Reckenberg office belonging to the prince-bishopric of Osnabrück with its episcopal administration on the Reckenberg in Wiedenbrück .
A document dated October 10, 1289, beginning with Nos judex, procosules et consules opidi Rethbergensis (translated: We judges, mayors and councilors of the city of Rietberg ), is the oldest evidence that Rietberg was a city with its own council constitution. From this it can be concluded that the castle and the settlement are older.
Despite its small size, the county had its own military and currency. The coins were minted on Müntestrasse until the 17th century . There were also laws in the county. Rietberg Castle was ruled from, which was built in the 14th century about 1 km south of the city.
In 1456, Graf had to Konrad V. so far -reaching direct the county Hessian Landgrave Ludwig I of 600 Rhenish guilders to feudal apply. With this, Rietberg lost its independence and was under the feudal rule of the Landgraves of Hesse.
In 1533 Count Otto III. , who was married in his second marriage to Onna von Esens, daughter of the East Frisian chief Hero Omken , proclaimed the Reformation in the parish churches of St. Johannes Baptist and St. Margareta by two preachers from Lippstadt . Through Otto's connection with Onna, he acquired the entitlement to the Harlingerland .
His son from his first marriage, Count Otto IV. , Died in 1552 without leaving an heir. The county then fell to his half-brother, Count Johann II , who came from his father's second marriage. In 1540 Johann II also became ruler of the Harlingerland. Johann II died in a prison in Cologne in 1562, leaving behind two daughters and the male line of the Counts of Rietberg died out. First of all, the Hessian landgrave moved into his fiefdom, the daughters Armgard and Walburgis protested and were awarded the county in 1565. Walburgis married Count Enno III in 1581 . of East Friesland , who thus became ruler of Rietberg and the Harlingerland. In the Berum comparison , he renounced the county of Rietberg in favor of his daughter Sabina Catharina . Sabina Catharina inherited the county and married her uncle Johann III. from East Frisia . They founded the House of Ostfriesland in Rietberg and re-Catholicized the county.
In 1690 the male line of the House of East Friesland also died out. In 1699 Rietberg fell to the Counts of Kaunitz through the marriage of the heiress Maria Ernestine Franziska.
Under Napoleon and the Prussians
From 1807 to 1813 the County of Rietberg belonged to the Napoleonic Kingdom of Westphalia under King Jérôme Bonaparte . Nevertheless, the title Graf zu Rietberg continued to be held by the respective Prince of Liechtenstein , currently by Hans Adam II of Liechtenstein and the Prince Regent Alois . In 1815 the county became a Prussian state rule. In addition to the main and only town of Rietberg, the county only consisted of a number of farmers who became independent under Prussian rule.
In 1822 the merchant Friedrich Ludwig Tenge acquired all the goods in the mediatized county. The Tengesche domain administration was housed in the Münte house. Following the English model, Kötter soon built their houses on the leased land.
In 1843, the Rietberg Office with its seat in Rietberg was formed with the Westphalian rural community order and finally included the seven rural communities Bokel, Druffel, Mastholte, Moese , Neuenkirchen, Varensell and Westerwiehe in addition to the former state capital . Due to the low population of 2,500 people, Rietberg lost the status of the city and was titular city until the end of the Second World War .
Since the 1830s the yarn spinning mill, which was also operated in Rietberg, declined significantly, so that the Silesian Weavers' Uprising in 1844 had an effect up to this point. In 1845 Rietberger weavers, spinners, craftsmen and farmers took part in a founding meeting of the association for the working classes in Bielefeld. The poverty of the farmers peaked in 1848 when two to three thousand farmers moved from the Rietberg area to Niederbarkhausen , the residence of the cloth merchant Tenge, who then reduced farm taxes by 50 percent.
In order to maintain peace and order, the bailiff Pelizaeus called on March 24, 1848 for the establishment of a civil guard, which was to patrol from nine in the evening to four in the morning. 260 men registered for this service, but the vigilante groups were repealed by law on October 24, 1849.
Kulturkampf in Rietberg
The Prussian monastery law of May 31, 1875 repealed all orders and congregations similar to that of orders, including the Franciscan monastery in Rietberg . Bailiff Duve reported to the government in Minden that the Franciscans were dangerous to the state, whereupon there were protests against him. On August 10, 1875, the monastery was closed, but some sick and decrepit Franciscans were allowed to stay. It was considered how the buildings could be used sensibly. The Progymnasium was supposed to be moved to the monastery, but this did not happen. However, the so-called prince's room became the school's gymnasium. On October 18, 1887, the order received the monastery back.
In the 1870s, Rietberg got street lighting with petroleum lamps . At the beginning of the 20th century, the first electrical lines were laid and electricity supply contracts were concluded. This was followed by the central supply of the city with drinking water and the regulated disposal of waste water.
First World War
Gendarmerie Sergeant Wolfram was one of the first soldiers called up in World War I , so that Police Sergeant Stoltz was overburdened. Two fire chiefs were elected as auxiliary police officers and a twelve-man vigilante group was set up. The city and the Progymnasium set up youth groups. From 1915, the food in Rietberg was rationed with bread and fat cards . The rationing of coal and petroleum followed. The lack of workers was made up for with prisoners of war who were housed in Neuenkirchen, Westerloh, Westerwiehe and Mastholte. Nevertheless, many women and children had to take on heavy loads. The local population knew how to help each other, which strengthened the club life. They knitted together or sterilized canned food. In June 1917 two of the three church tower bells were melted down for war purposes. Despite the turmoil of the war, the town hall in Rietberg was rebuilt in 1915/16 and a local statute was passed in 1917 against the defacing of the townscape. After the war, German soldiers who had fought on the western front in France and Belgium were quartered in Rietberg. In 1923 a memorial was erected in memory of the 80 who died. A total of 334 Rietbergers were drafted into military service.
Weimar Republic and National Socialism
In 1919 the vigilante group was re-established in Rietberg, consisting of 399 men in eight groups. Their number was reduced to 20 in 1920 because the service had not been properly provided before. For the Reichstag election on March 5, 1933, there was no local NSDAP group in Rietberg, so the Center Party won the election with 65.4% of the votes. The NSDAP was the second largest party with 25.9%. Even in the municipal council election, which took place a week later, no shift in the balance of power in Rietberg could be seen. Nevertheless, a swastika flag was hoisted by the National Socialists at the town hall on March 9th. On April 18, 1933, a local NSDAP group was founded, which was joined by 70 members, including five municipal councilors. The first national labor holiday on May 1, 1933, was celebrated as a folk festival. The houses were decorated with flags and greenery, and pictures of Hitler and President Hindenburg could be seen on the town hall . At lunchtime there was a concert and the central celebrations in Berlin were broadcast over loudspeakers. The city's traditional events were reorganized with a political background, so the Hitler Youth and the Association of German Girls held the merged Easter bonfires and on June 21, 1934 there was a youth day on Schützenplatz .
The synagogue in Neuenkirchen was set on fire during the Reichspogromnacht from November 9th to 10th, 1938. The next night the Jewish residential and commercial buildings were set on fire. Clergymen were repeatedly targeted by the Gestapo because they either made prohibited youth work or made negative statements about National Socialism. Most had to endure interrogations, searches, seizures or imprisonment. Only Father Kilian Kirchhoff , who had translated hymns from the Eastern Church, was arrested in Dortmund in 1943 for statements disparaging the state and sentenced to death in Berlin on March 7, 1944. The sentence was carried out by beheading on April 24, 1944 .
Second World War
After the start of the Second World War , artillery and infantry units from Brandenburg and Northern Bavaria were stationed in Rietberg from October 1939 to mid-February 1940 for the western offensive against Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg and France. By April 1940, around 200 soldiers had been recruited from Rietberg, two of whom had died by the summer of 1941. After the attack on the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, the city had already 205 dead and missing.
During the war there were isolated bombs on the city. For example, on the night of October 7th to 8th, 1940, an incendiary bomb set a house on fire. In June 1943, the bombed-out orphanage of the Vincentians was moved from Dortmund to Rietberg. In autumn 1943 the construction of a bunker in the school yard began, and the Rietberg-Werke built one for the workforce. At the beginning of October 1944, the Americans took Aachen and 2,100 refugees had to be accommodated in the Rietberg office; 250 of them were recorded in the city. On October 18, 1944, the Wehrmacht stationed the 700 men strong 9th SS Panzer Division "Hohenstaufen" in the elementary school, followed by the Luftgau Command of VI. Army corps from Münster, doctors department. From February 7, 1945, both the elementary school and the grammar school were blocked by troops, so that classes were completely canceled until September 25, 1945. American troops reached the city on April 1, 1945 and brought the end of the war and National Socialism.
post war period
The Americans set up a local command post in the rectory. On April 6th of the year they installed Anton Paehler as mayor of the city and office; Karl Agethen had been deposed the day before. Tap water and electricity were only available to a limited extent, mail was not carried and the railroad did not run. On June 1, 1945, postal traffic for private individuals was started in the Rietberg and Verl offices. Stamps with the Hitler portrait were not allowed to be used, so letters were stamped directly in the post office. On June 15, the Senneblitz resumed public transport. On September 25th, classes for the lower classes were resumed in the schools. The upper classes followed on October 12th. Until December 12, 1945, no German, history or geography lessons could be given due to a lack of school books.
In the following years there was a lack of everything in Rietberg. The main type of bread after the war was corn bread , the main ingredient of which came from American deliveries. School meals were introduced in the winter of 1946 and served as a nutritional basis for children and young people until 1950. Since the tilled fields were often stolen and looted due to the shortage, on July 11, 1946, a field and self-protection was introduced, to which all male residents between 20 and 45 years were obliged. From July to September the field corridor was not allowed to be entered between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Until 1948, people from the Ruhr area also came to Rietberg to hoard food .
After the currency reform in 1948 and the subsequent boom, a number of private homes were built in Rietberg. After 1952, urban construction began. On April 25, 1952, it was decided to build a fire station , an outdoor swimming pool and an extension to the elementary school. The fire station was completed in the same year and the outdoor pool in August of the following year. After local passenger traffic from Wiedenbrück to Sennelager was discontinued on March 31, 1958, motor traffic in Rietberg increased and a new Emsbrücke had to be built. During this time social life also recovered and many associations were founded or re-established. Until the day of national mourning in 1966, the memorial for those who died in the First World War was expanded and redesigned. In addition to a new location, the memorial also received plaques with the 381 names of the victims of the Second World War.
Municipal reorganization
In 1970 the municipalities of the Rietberg Office merged to form the new town of Rietberg, with Moese and Mastholte forming a joint district called Mastholte. In 1973 the Wiedenbrück district and thus also Rietberg were incorporated into the newly formed Gütersloh district. After the restructuring, Rietberg began to designate further residential areas and the Tenge-Rietberg , Südstraße and Esphorst industrial areas . In 1970, 17% of the workforce was employed in agriculture. Mainly metal and wood processing companies settled in the new industrial areas. As a result of the new development, 150 m of sewer lines also had to be renovated or re-laid. Four sewage treatment plants were built for wastewater treatment. The road network was rebuilt over 125 km and ten kindergartens were set up. In addition, the new school center was built for over DM 30 million. This became necessary because the elementary schools were to be closed and elementary and secondary schools established. In 1977 the Reckenberg-Ems adult education center was founded and old people's homes were built.
On May 31, 1975 the train station in Rietberg was closed. In the same year, the hospitals in Rietberg and Neuenkirchen were converted into nursing homes. In 1976 the extension of the town hall and the administration building began; the work was completed in 1978. In 1980 the bypass road B 64 was opened. 1985 to 1987 the Progymnasium was rebuilt. In 2008, Rietberg hosted the state horticultural show. Since June 23, 2009, the city has had the “State Recognized Resort ” seal of approval . According to the health resort law of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the prerequisites for this were health and recreation areas that were created during the 2008 State Garden Show .
religion
The population is predominantly Catholic, as in large parts of southern East Westphalia. Accordingly, with the Catholic parishes of St. Anna Bokel , St. Jakobus d. Ä. Mastholte, St. Margareta Neuenkirchen , St. Johannes Baptist Rietberg, St. Marien Varensell and St. Laurentius Westerwiehe (all in the Rietberg-Wiedenbrück deanery of the Archdiocese of Paderborn ) six Catholic parishes in the city area, plus a Benedictine abbey in Varensell, but only one Protestant parish in Rietberg. During the Reformation , Rietberg was Protestant for a short time, but became Catholic again in the course of the Counter-Reformation.
The Protestant parish has 3,787 members, about 12% of the total population, and holds services in two churches in Rietberg and Mastholte. The community grew to its present size after the end of the Second World War, when Protestant refugees and displaced persons also moved to the Catholic areas of Eastern Westphalia.
Muslim Rietbergers have built a mosque on Lange Strasse in the Neuenkirchen district, which is operated by a Turkish-Islamic cultural association. ( Location of the mosque )
The exact confessional composition of the Rietberger is not officially published, a non-representative indication may be the denomination of the Rietberg students. According to this, 62.8% of all students attending schools in Rietberg are Catholic, 15.7% Protestant, 9% Islamic and 6.5% stated that they belong to another denomination; 6% described themselves as non-denominational.
Older official figures from 1965 indicate that around 88% of the Rietbergs were Catholic and 11.5% of the population were Protestant. Less than 1% of the population were non-denominational or belonged to another denomination.
A first reference to Jewish residents is a document from Count Wilhelm von Jülich, Berg and Ravensberg dated February 12, 1310, which Nennekun van Rethberghe , a Jewish woman from the County of Rietberg names. Jewish citizens are also repeatedly mentioned in documents from the following centuries. A Jewish cemetery of the Israelite community of the County of Rietberg is documented for 1567 . From the middle of the 17th century to the middle of the 18th century nothing is known about Jews in Rietberg. From 1738 they are mentioned again. In 1750 a prayer and school room was set up in a private household in Neuenkirchen, which was registered as a synagogue on January 2, 1758 . During this time, the Israelite community became part of the Neuenkirchen synagogue community and in 1760 founded a support and funeral association that cared for the poor and the sick. On March 7, 1768, permission was given to build a new synagogue. A Jewish cemetery was built in the immediate vicinity. For the year 1817 145 Jews are recorded in the catchment area of the synagogue, who lived in Neuenkirchen, Verl, Rietberg, Kaunitz and Mastholte. The community did not have its own rabbi ; the community supervision was carried out by the chief rabbi for Paderborn, Corvey and Rietberg. The synagogue also burned down during the village fire in 1880 . Construction began in September of the same year. After the National Socialists came to power , the first Jew was taken into protective custody in April 1933 . With effect from January 1, 1938, the community in Neuenkirchen lost its status and the members were assigned to the community in Gütersloh in 1940. On November 10, 1938, the synagogue and other Jewish residential and commercial buildings were burned down during the Reichspogromnacht . Some of the Jews managed to emigrate from the municipality, the rest were deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp and murdered. After the war, only a few residents of Jewish origin returned to Rietberg and Neuenkirchen. The location of the synagogue is marked today with the plaque on the left.
Some Syrian Orthodox Christians live in the city .
