history
Until the 8th century AD, the Soest Börde area belonged to the Merovingian-Franconian culture. During this time, Saxons invaded the area from the north across the Lippe . "Sassendorp" = Sachsendorf was probably a Saxon settlement. The land registers of Werden / Ruhr Abbey recorded the first records of salt production on Hellweg as early as the 10th century. Ibrahim ibn Yaqub , the envoy of the Caliph of Córdoba , described the Westphalian salt production in Soest in his travelogue on the way to Emperor Otto the Great in 973.
Sassendorf was first mentioned in a document between 1169 and 1179 on the occasion of the donation of various goods by the Archbishop of Cologne , Philipp I von Heinsberg, to the St. Walburgis monastery in Soest. Among them there was also a salt house ( domum salinam ) in Sappendorf, which points to a considerably earlier settlement and salt production . The exploitation of the Sassendorfer salt springs and the right to boil was the right of free peasant families ( Boers ). The salt mining took place as a free "own", unencumbered by the state shelf law.
Sassendorf is mentioned in a further document from 1231 about a negotiation dispute between the Liesborn monastery and the "heirs of Johann and Rikolf von Sassendorf" . Confirmed by a document from the Archbishop of Cologne, Heinrich II. Von Virneburg, dated April 18, 1313, the people of Sassendorf were allowed to build a baptistery , a churchyard and a school.
Around 1370 the Sassendorfer had their statutes written down as the "Alde law of Von Sassendorpe" . At the same time they carried the seal with the inscription "SIGILLUM DOMINORUM SALINARIORUM IN SASSENDORPE" .
17 written requests from around 1817 prove that Sassendorf brine was used for bathing and healing purposes. Around 1836 2500–4000 tons of salt were extracted. In 1852 some wooden bathtubs were set up on the saltworks site. These form the basis for the first spa house and today's medicinal baths. As a result of the mining of salt, salt extraction by boiling lost its importance. In 1934 salt production was largely stopped; a single pan worked after the end of the Second World War until 1952.
Between 1877 and 1928 five children's homes were built. On 10 May 1906, the former Salzer village received by the provincial government of Arnsberg district government , the predicate bathroom . In 1975 Bad Sassendorf was officially recognized as a moor and brine spa .
The spa gardens, thermal baths and graduation tower were redesigned. The graduation tower built in 1960 was demolished in 2018 and was replaced by a new building that is connected to the sauna area of the thermal bath.
History of the village of Lohne
Lohne was also called Lon or Loyn in medieval documents and was the ancestral seat of the ministerial family of Lon. When the castle at Lohne was first mentioned in a document, it was owned by the von Honrode. Knight Dietrich von Honrode made his castle an open house for Archbishop Walram of Cologne in 1335 . The archbishop had previously allowed him to rebuild the castle that had been destroyed by Count Eberhard II von der Mark . The castle then came into the possession of a branch of the von Plettenberg family, presumably as a result of an inheritance . During the Soest feud, the village was often hit hard by the electoral Cologne garrisons in Hovestadt Castle . It was set on fire in 1547 by Colonel Andreas Packemoir during the Schmalkaldic War . The Thirty Years 'War and the Seven Years' War also damaged the village. The Protestant church in Lohne was first mentioned in a document in 1313 after it was decided to found its own chapel, a cemetery and a school for the parish Sassendorf. Lohne joined this at the time of the Reformation . An Antonius Smedes is proven to be the first evangelical preacher. Since he was suspected of Anabaptist inclinations, he got into an argument with the council of Soest and was expelled from the country. After the victory of Charles V over the Schmalkaldic League , Catholicism regained a majority in the village, although the church, which was completely destroyed by fire in 1624, has remained permanently in Protestant ownership since 1562.
Loerbrocks was a former place in Lohne .
