history

The parish of Bega was first mentioned in writing in 1227 as Byche . It is one of the oldest parent parishes in Lippe, the area of ​​which extended from Barntrup to Wendlinghausen Castle . The patron saint of the church was St. Peter . Bega was a so-called Gewanndorf that belonged to the Sternberg office . In the course of the three- field economy , the fields of a settlement were divided into narrow, strip-shaped troughs . These were cultivated in Flurzwang , which meant the simultaneous cultivation of all fields of a win. It was typical of tubs that their length was at least ten times the width. This reduced the difficulty of turning the plow, because narrow parcels led to fewer turns. In 1911 the village of Bega comprised 113 houses and 157 households with 686 inhabitants, of which 676 were Reformed, 7 Lutheran and 3 Roman Catholic. In 1991 there were 1,201 inhabitants in Bega.

Many young men from Bega were in the 19th and 20th centuries as Ziegler on the move. By 1870 a total of over 8,000 migrant workers from Lippe were registered and in 1905 this number had increased to 14,000 Ziegler. The starting point of the journey was first the Weserhafen Erder , since the completion of the Herford – Altenbeken railway line in 1895, the railway station in Lage . The brick and tile association Bega is one of the oldest still existing brick and tile associations , which was founded in 1892. The main tasks of the association were to represent the interests of migrant goats and to provide support for members who got into economic hardship.

On January 1, 1969, most of Bega became a district of the Dörentrup community. Smaller areas of the municipality of Bega were incorporated into Barntrup , where, however, according to the main statute, they do not form separate districts.

The northeastern Sibbentrup also belongs to Bega .
