geology

In the area of ​​the Hellweg area and lip lowlands , limestone and marlstone formed as sediment in the seas during the Cretaceous period . During the Ice Age , ground moraines were formed under glaciers and inland ice , which appear here as boulder clay and gravel above the rocks mentioned . Later the wind deposited loess and sand over it in various places . The Bentfeld soils form a transition to the fertile Hellwegbörde, whereby the brown earth is composed differently in places of sand, sand loess , weathered loam of limestone gravel and boulder clay.

In the lip lowlands was through the lip addition of sand and gravel from the Senne introduced. In the area of rivers and streams there were also alluvial deposits and the moors were also formed in the Holocene . The wind turned the sand into dunes , which are now largely dismantled. From the sands was Podsol in which a Ortsteinschicht hampered root growth.

climate

Like Ostwestfalen-Lippe, Bentfeld belongs to the oceanic climatic area of ​​northwest Germany , to which it owes low temperature differences and mild winters. However, continental influences are already at work . The temperature in summer is higher and the nights are cooler than in closer proximity to the coast. However, the surrounding low mountain ranges are also involved in reducing the amount of precipitation and the higher number of sunny days .

history

Catholic Church of Saint Dionysius

The first written mention of Bentfeld comes from the year 1082, the interpretation of the name points to the Saxon period 500 to 800 AD. However, archaeological finds in the area go back to the early and prehistoric times. The first documentary mention of the Heddinghausen farmers belonging to Bentfeld took place in 1036.

A street in the village is reminiscent of the former Bentfelder Wittenburg .

The area of ​​Bentfeld has belonged to the area of ​​the later Hochstift Paderborn since the early Middle Ages .

In 1802 the Paderborn bishopric lost its state independence when it was occupied by Prussia , but fell back to the Kingdom of Westphalia for a few years in 1807 and to Prussia in 1813 after the Napoleonic defeat. Bentfeld was incorporated into the Province of Westphalia , which was founded in 1815, and by decree of the Royal Government in Minden came to the Büren district , founded in 1816 , to which the Lippeamt Boke was only added in 1817.

The already practiced division of the Büren district into offices , according to which Bentfeld belonged to the Boke office, was approved in 1841. From 1859 the offices of Boke and Salzkotten were led in personal union and in 1936 finally merged into one office of Salzkotten-Boke with headquarters in Salzkotten.

Regular floods of the Lippe and floods plagued the place. The last such catastrophe occurred in July 1965. During this flood, the whole village was surrounded by water. The disaster claimed some lives in several places on the tributaries of the Lippe.

In 2010, Bentfeld was the organizer of the district shooting festival in the old district of Büren.

Incorporation

Before 1 January 1975, the former municipality Bentfeld belonged to the Office Salzkotten Boke in county Buren . With the entry into force of the Sauerland / Paderborn law , the three Lippe communities of Anreppen, Bentfeld and Boke of this office were merged with the municipalities of the Delbrück office of the previous Paderborn district to form the new town of Delbrück in the new Paderborn district. The legal successor of the municipality of Bentfeld is the city of Delbrück, legal successor to the dissolved office of Salzkotten-Boke is the city of Salzkotten .

Coat of arms and banner

On March 20, 1967, the Minister of the Interior of North Rhine-Westphalia issued the then Bentfeld community with the following coat of arms and banner:

Description of coat of arms

Divided by gold (yellow) and red, at the top a green cranberry bush with red fruits that grows with three branches from the dividing line.

Banner description

Red and yellow striped lengthways with the municipal coat of arms in the white banner head.

Foundation of the coat of arms

The coat of arms corresponds to a seal of the Soest citizen Godefrid (= Gottfried) von Bentfeld, whose name should be derived from the community. The coat of arms, interpreted as a lingonberry, is probably a sign indicating the name to “Bent”, ie heather, moor. In the heather forests of the district, cranberries grew up to the regulation of the Lippe. The colors gold-red are those of the Paderborn Monastery, to which the community has belonged since the early Middle Ages.

religion

The church of St. Dionysius , located in the center of the village, is a branch church of the Catholic parish of St. Landelinus Boke , to which the neighboring village of Anreppen also belongs. The Catholics in Bentfeld, who make up the majority of the population, belong to the Büren-Delbrück Dean's Office of the Archdiocese of Paderborn . The Protestants of the place belong to the Protestant parish of Delbrück, founded on January 1st, 1951, in the Paderborn parish of the Evangelical Church of Westphalia .
