geography

Geographical location

The town of Bad Pyrmont is located in the Weserbergland between Hameln, about 20 kilometers away, and Paderborn, about 60 kilometers away . The German-Dutch holiday route Oranier Route runs through the city . It connects cities and regions that have been linked to the House of Orange-Nassau for centuries. The Emmer flows through the urban area.

Neighboring communities

The urban area borders in a clockwise direction on the Lower Saxony municipalities of Aerzen , Emmerthal and the joint municipality of Bodenwerder-Polle ( Ottenstein , Vahlbruch ) as well as on the cities of Lügde , Blomberg and Barntrup in the Lippe district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).

Evidence of prehistoric settlement

References to the prehistoric presence of people in the Pyrmonter Tal are sparse, but there are certainly some. Even if there are no traces of settlement so far, some finds provide evidence of the presence of people since the Upper Paleolithic . It is not yet possible to determine whether there has been continuous settlement since the Neolithic or whether this was interrupted by various hiatuses .

Enamelled ladle and brooches from the Pyrmont fountain find from 1863, dated to the 2nd century (museum in the castle)

The oldest finds that could be made in the area of ​​today's Pyrmont include animal bones from the Upper Paleolithic. Microliths are found at the foot of the Königsberg . Due to their small size and the processing technique, these finds are dated to the Mesolithic . Finds of bone and antler finds of Stone Age deer as well as mammoth teeth from Ice Age gravel layers of the Emmer speak for the fact that Old and Middle Stone Age hunting groups were able to kill prey here.

Some rock tools come from the Neolithic, including a sharp-nosed ax from the Michelsberg culture from Eichenborn, as well as bone pricks and antler picks. Several rectangular axes can be dated to the time of the funnel beaker culture.

In 1955 the remains of a spherical amphora and other vessel shards were recovered from the bog ponds southwest of the sinkholes in the Holzhausen district. Due to their typical decorations and design, the finds can best be classified as belonging to the group of spherical amphora culture . This culture was widespread in large parts of Central and Eastern Europe during the late and late Neolithic period. The Holzhausen find is one of the most western finds known from the sphere amphora culture.

A number of other finds were made from the moor between 1939 and the 1950s. Among other things, a human lower jaw, animal bones, knocking stones and flint lumps were recovered from peat cutting. The archaeological context from which these finds originate can no longer be precisely clarified due to the circumstances of the recovery and documentation. Due to the design and the proximity to the finds of the spherical amphora culture, dating to the Neolithic is also likely.

A double ax made of almost pure copper probably originates from the transition from the late Neolithic to the early Bronze Age . This was found in 1900 in the Holzhäuser Bruch while digging coupling trenches. Similar representatives of this group of finds are known from northwest Germany, mainly from the Weser and its tributaries. Due to its narrow shaft hole, it was probably not intended for normal use, but rather served as a prestige or cult item. This is also supported by the manufacturing material. Copper was a very rare and valuable material that was widely traded at that time. The laying down in a moor can therefore be interpreted as an offering, a procedure that appears again in a clearer form when a well is found at a later time.

The typical barrows, some of which are still preserved in the area today, provide further evidence of Bronze Age settlement. There are some individual finds from the Emmer lowlands that can be dated to the Bronze Age. There are no finds from the pre-Roman Iron Age in the Pyrmont city area. This does not necessarily mean there is a gap in the settlement, but could be due to the generally insufficient state of archaeological research.

history

Pyrmont around 1900

Bad Pyrmont became famous as a spa in the years 1556/57, when 10,000 people from all over Europe came (“great miracle run”) to find healing and experience the miraculous spring. The vapor cave , which is still unique today , where natural carbon dioxide (as mofette ) rises to the surface, was scientifically examined by the well doctor Johann Philipp Seip, who came to Pyrmont in 1712 . This carbonic acid is also used as a therapeutic agent. Six healing springs are used today, from which the Hufelandtherme - a public wellness pool with a sauna area - is supplied.

The Romans and Teutons already knew and used the Pyrmont mineral springs. This is evidenced by around 300 bronze fibulae , three Roman denarii and a provincial Roman enameled ladle, which were discovered in 1863 during construction work on the Brodel spring. The finds date from the last decades BC. Until well into the 4th century, with a focus apparently at the end of the 2nd and beginning of the 3rd century. Whether it is an old spring shrine with offerings or a medicinal bath with only lost objects is a matter of dispute.

The beginnings of the place Pyrmont are in the Middle Ages. After the fall of Duke Henry the Lion in 1180, the western part of the old Duchy of Saxony fell to the Archbishop of Cologne. The Counts of Schwalenberg also submit to him. In the Schwalenberg area, the Archbishop of Cologne, Philipp I von Heinsberg , built a castle on the Schellenberg, which he named after the Cologne bishopric patron Petrus, in Latin "petri mons", which means something like Petersberg in German. In 1184, (Bad) Pyrmont first appeared in historical records. Another name is piremont. Today it is not clear from which of the two names today's Pyrmont developed. In the Middle Ages, Pyrmont was the seat of the small county of Pyrmont , which in 1625 fell to the Counts of Waldeck by inheritance : On May 7, 1625, Count Hans Ludwig zu Gleichen transferred control of Pyrmont to his cousins Christian and Wolrad zu Waldeck . The place Pyrmont at that time consisted of the old moated castle and a small house on the so-called "Heiligborn".

The county belonged to the Lower Rhine-Westphalian Empire . The best-known representative of the Counts of Waldeck, Georg Friedrich zu Waldeck (1620–1692) had the source stream thrown in 1668 and later planted the four-row avenue of lime trees. He was followed by Christian Ludwig zu Waldeck (1692–1706) and Friedrich Anton Ulrich zu Waldeck (1706–1728). When he died, Pyrmont had grown into the overall concept that is still recognizable today: the baroque palace, the main avenue with several side avenues and Brunnenstrasse. During this time, Pyrmont began to rise to become a popular bathing and recreation spot for the upper classes, which even made the famous Karlovy Vary its first place among European baths.

In 1681 the great meeting of princes took place in Pyrmont, the so-called prince's summer . 1712 were the Counts of Waldeck and Pyrmont by Emperor Karl VI. raised to the hereditary prince status. In 1720 the city rights were awarded to the "Neustadt Pyrmont".

After a division of the estate in 1805, Pyrmont was briefly independent again until 1812, but was then reunited with Waldeck. The Principality of Waldeck -Pyrmont retained its status after the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and became a member of the German Confederation . From 1868 on it was administered by Prussia , but retained its nominal sovereignty and in 1871 became a member state of Bismarck's German Empire. In 1872 Pyrmont was connected to the Hanover – Altenbeken railway line , and in 1879 a horse-drawn tram was set up between the station and the city . With the abdication of the last prince after the end of the First World War, Waldeck-Pyrmont became a free state in the Weimar Republic .

In 1914 Pyrmont was given the name Bad Pyrmont . On November 30, 1921, the city and the surrounding district were separated from the Free State and incorporated into the Prussian Province of Hanover on the basis of a referendum. On April 1, 1922, the community of Oesdorf was incorporated. In July 1933, with the first congress of the Greater German Chess Federation in Bad Pyrmont, the chess organization in Germany was effectively brought into line. On April 1, 1938, the community of Holzhausen was incorporated. In 1940 the administration was moved to the old post office on Brunnenstrasse - today the old building.

In the Second World War Bad Pyrmont was a hospital town, so it was not badly affected by the war.

On October 16, 1956, Bad Pyrmont received the status of an "independent town". In 1957, 13,955 people lived here. On January 1, 1973, the communities Baarsen, Eichenborn, Großenberg, Hagen, Kleinenberg, Löwensen, Neersen and Thal were incorporated, so that the entire old county now forms a town with slightly modified borders.

From October 18 to 20, 2006, the meeting of prime ministers and governing mayors from all over Germany took place in Bad Pyrmont.

As part of Germany's EU presidency, the informal meeting of ministers for gender equality and the family took place from May 15 to 16, 2007 at the Hotel Steigenberger.

On May 25, 2009, the city received the title “ Place of Diversity ” awarded by the federal government .

Since March 21, 2014, the city of Bad Pyrmont has been able to bear the title of " Fair Trade City ", which was extended at the beginning of 2016 for another four years.

Gambling

The licensed game of chance made a not insignificant contribution to the attractiveness. The first official permission to gamble came when a contract was signed with a Mr. Cazal from Braunschweig in 1724, which in return had to build a second ballroom, which opened in 1727. In 1767 the privilege was negotiated with JA Tabor from Frankfurt. Was played rouge et noir , and a pool on the ground floor of the coffee house, which was demolished 1911th In 1784 there were two licensed Pharobanks in different locations. The East Elbe Junkers , who made up a substantial part of the clientele, attached great importance to compliance with the class barriers. On the one hand there was the silver bank (minimum stake: 1 specietaler) in the coffee house and the gold bank (minimum stake: 1 ducat ) in the ballroom of the Kurhaus. The long-term tenant of both houses from 1809 was Baron HA von Ruxleben. The co-owner, Lieutenant Schönewolf, made the first request to be allowed to set up a roulette to the prince. After irregularities in 1854, the tenant, who had received the concession in 1848, fled, which gave Julius de Wellens the opportunity to join in here too. Gaming operations, originally licensed until April 30, 1873, continued until all casinos in the new German Reich were closed at the end of the 1872 season.

Incorporations

On January 1, 1973, the previously independent municipalities of Baarsen (excluding the area part ceded to the city of Lügde on October 1, 1971 ), Eichenborn, Großenberg, Hagen, Kleinenberg, Löwensen, Neersen and Thal were incorporated.

Place name

Earlier place names of Pyrmont were Piringisa in 889, Birngise in 1184, Pyremont in 1184, 1184 per mut, 1184 Perremont (also Pirremont), 1186 Pyerremont, 1167–1191 Pierremont, 1187 Pirremunt and 1187 Peremont.

Pyrmont is a difficult name to explain. The explanation of a compound from "Petri mons", ie "Petersberg", became popular. According to comparative research on place names, it is known that “-mund” is a Germanic word for “mountain” that is not of French-Latin origin. "Pyr-, Pir-" in Pyrmont can with a source "In der Pirre" in the Bierberg near Lügde with an entry in the Grimm dictionary "pur", further in Schleswig-Holstein verb "pirren", ie "rain", for example in the Meaning "source" to be connected. Pyrmont therefore means that it is on an old "Quellenberg".

coat of arms

The blazon of the coat of arms reads a red anchor cross in a gothic escutcheon with a silver background . This red anchor cross goes back to the Archbishop of Cologne , Philipp von Heinsberg : The bishop of the High Cathedral Church of St. Petrus was the feudal lord of the Counts of Pyrmont and had a castle built on the Schellenberg, which he called "Petri mons" (mountain of the apostle Peter ) called. Today it bears the name Schellenburg . The Counts of Pyrmont who lived there used a modified Petrus cross , the anchor cross , based on the coat of arms of their liege lord and based on the name of the castle .

Town twinning

Bad Pyrmont was one of the first municipalities in Germany to enter into an official town twinning with an Italian city. The historic city of Anzio (Latin Antium, birthplace, among others, of Emperor Nero), 60 kilometers south of Rome directly on the Tyrrhenian Sea , has been a twin town since then. Just one year after the opening of the borders , the spa town of Bad Freienwalde (Oder) in Brandenburg was added in October 1990 : a town to which Bad Pyrmont had relationships even before the GDR was founded . A partnership with the Dutch city of Heemstede has existed since 2000 . Close historical ties between the Waldeck-Pyrmonter dynasty and the Dutch royal family helped to establish this partnership. Queen Emma was born Princess zu Waldeck and Pyrmont, the great-grandmother of the resigned Queen Beatrix .

The town twinning association Bad Pyrmont e. V. looks after the connections to the partner cities on behalf of the municipality. Regular visits take place among each other at private and club levels.
