Bad Oeynhausen (city center) is a district of the city of Bad Oeynhausen in the Minden-Lübbecke district . Until 1972, the current district was an office-free city in the Minden district , which was only founded in 1860.
geography
The Bad Oeynhausen district (city center) borders in the west on the Gohfeld district of the city of Löhne in the Herford district . In the south the district borders on Lohe , in the east on Rehme and in the north on Eidinghausen and Werste .
In the system of the natural spatial division of Germany , the area belongs to the gently undulating Oeynhausen hill country, a sub-area of the Ravensberg hill country , which is partly heavily divided by streams; Typical are the box valleys called Sieke . Most of the urban area is formed by rocks from the Lower Jura (Lias).
The northern part of the city center is part of the west-east running Werre lowland with alluvial clay soils. The deepest strip , located directly on the lower Werre , is at risk of flooding and is partially surrounded by dikes . The dike is maintained by the Werre Water Association.
history
The establishment of Bad Oeynhausen is closely related to the drilling of the mining captain Karl von Oeynhausen , who in the early 1840s came across a thermal brine in the area of the municipality of Rehme while looking for rock salt. As a result, a health spa quickly developed, which was expanded by the Prussian government as a state spa. In 1848, King Friedrich Wilhelm IV gave the bath the name "Royal Bath Oeynhausen". The new Cologne-Mindener Railway , which ran directly past , connected the bath with a train station in 1847.
The city of Bad Oeynhausen was founded on January 1, 1860 from parts of the communities Rehme ( Minden district ) and Gohfeld (Herford district); At the time of its founding, there were about 1300 inhabitants in the area of the new city.
On April 1, 1926, a part of the community Lohe was transferred to the city of Bad Oeynhausen.
After the Second World War, Bad Oeynhausen was the seat of the British military government until it moved to Berlin . The high command was in the city, while the British military government was based in Lübbecke, Herford and Minden. In the city there was also the headquarters of the British Rhine Army in the Hotel Königshof, which had served as a hospital until the end of the war . A large part of the city center, which had not been destroyed during the war, was closed to civil life. Residents and shops were forcibly relocated within a few days at the end of the war. A temporary business center was built north of the northern runway. In the cordoned off city center, several buildings that were important for the spa town were destroyed by fire during the occupation, including the Resurrection Church in the spa gardens, the music pavilion at the spa house and what was then Badehaus II, which is now the Gollwitzer-Meier-Klinik. The Porta Westfalica airfield in nearby Vennebeck was set up for logistics .
From January 1948, the barriers were lifted in several phases. Only after the city center was fully opened by the British in 1954, bathing was resumed.
Until the municipal reorganization on January 1, 1973, Bad Oeynhausen was, besides Minden, the only municipality in the district with a total area of around 7.31 km² and 13,983 inhabitants. In 2006 the city center had 15,893 inhabitants. This makes Bad Oeynhausen (city center) the district with the most inhabitants and the greatest population density of all Oeynhausen districts.
Population development
The table and the diagram show the population of the city of Bad Oeynhausen up to 1972 and from 1973 of the district of Bad Oeynhausen according to the respective territorial status. A relevant change in the territorial status resulted from the incorporation of part of the community Lohe on April 1, 1926 (1925: 2942 inhabitants). The numbers are census results up to 1970. The data relate since 1871 and for 1946 to the local population attendees and 1,925 to 1,970 on the resident population . Before 1871, the number of inhabitants was determined according to inconsistent survey procedures.
