history

Probably 1383 the place was mentioned for the first time in a document. In a mortgage note before the officials Joh. Gebuye and Gerhard v. Bensberg becomes a "Heinrich Baldenberch" as a believer in Winand v. Called Glesch (localization uncertain).

Heinrich Baldenberg probably means Heinrich Wesseler von Baldenberg / Baldeborn. The Wesseler von Baldenberg can be proven since 1114 (document for the laying of the foundation stone of a chapel on the castle hill in the Arnsberg).

It is very questionable whether they actually came from the Baldenberg (Dreifaltigkeitsberg) in the Danube Valley and were expelled from there by the Staufers. The correspondence of the sun sign in the coat of arms of the Wesseler with the meaning of the Spaichinger Berg probably only had a meaning in the time of the Third Reich. This sun can also be interpreted as a windmill in the sense of the tip of a lance. When the Counts of Arnsberg sold their county to the Archbishops of Cologne in 1368, Heinrich von Baldenberg moved to Cologne. He then no longer called himself Wesseler von Baldenberg / Baldeborn, but Schenk von Baldenberg, joined the Gaffel Himmelreich in 1369 and was a money changer and wine merchant. One of his sons became abbot of Groß-Sankt-Martin in Cologne.

Another part of the Wesseler from Baldenberg / Baldeborn moved to Estonia around 1463. The von Ostendorp family took over their Baldeborn farm near Meschede. The Wesseler settled in Estonia at first on the Baldenberg / Baldenburg farm, an old hilltop castle that was later called Ripucka, Rippocka. They later settled on the Loper estate and, before the expulsion in 1558, on the Wesslershof near Dorpat.

Since the first reliable mention of the village of Baldenberg near Bergneustadt was not made until 1494, a connection between the Wesseler - Baldenberg family and the place name cannot be proven, but it cannot be excluded. The same applies to Baldenburg in West Prussia.

The spelling of the first mention was Baldenberch .

The first mention from the year 1494 as Baldenberge is certain : "Sale of a property on the Baldenberge to the Eckenhagener church."
