Bettinghausen is a district of Bad Sassendorf in the Soest district in North Rhine-Westphalia .

geography

The Reihendorf is located in the northeast of the municipality of Bad Sassendorf , about 10 km east of the center of the district town of Soest . It is divided by the Ahse into an "upper" and "lower village". Other waters that cross the village are the Haselbach and the Kützelbach, which, like the Ahse, are largely natural. The elongated village shape that characterizes Bettinghausen is due to the farms and small farm groups lined up by the stream in the lower and upper villages. Today's closed row village settlement was only created in the 20th century. Due to this structure, a local center could not develop.

history

In the chronicle of the Rastede monastery from the 14th century, a donation from the village to this monastery or to the church there is described for the year 1059. Furthermore, the village was mentioned in 1124 as "Betenchusen" in a papal bull that confirmed this ownership. The earliest document comes from the year 1186. The place used to be the location of a free chair of the Free County of Ostinghausen. The documentary mention of a chapel built by Benedictine monks took place around 1300.

For a long time the residents of the “Hof Bettinghausen” had to pay taxes to the Liesborn monastery . A knight family probably lived in Bettinghausen in the middle of the 14th century. Because in 1333 the seal of a knight Hermann von Bettinghausen was mentioned.

Bettinghausen belonged to the Oestinghausen office. On July 1, 1969, the place was incorporated into Bad Sassendorf.

Attractions

The Antonius Chapel, first mentioned in 1313 in the Liber valoris of the Archdiocese of Cologne , has been destroyed several times since the Thirty Years War ; It was rebuilt in 1681 and 1882. In 1954 the chapel was enlarged and the transept was added. The chapel is in an unchanged condition since then. The patronage of the chapel is from Antonius the Hermit, who died in 356 .

The oldest building in the municipality of Bad Sassendorf is the warehouse of the Westholt court in Bettinghausen, which was built in 1636 during the Thirty Years War. It has been restored and is now a listed building .

economy

Bettinghausen was dominated by agriculture for many centuries. Today it is a residential community with only a few farms left. Another source of income is tourism. Many residents of the village have set up pensions in their houses due to the proximity to the spa town of Bad Sassendorf . Furthermore, there is an industrial park with only one company that deals with the sale of woodworking machines. For about 30 years, moor has been mined in Bettinghausen for the spa therapies ( mud bath ) carried out in Bad Sassendorf . Most residents, however, commute to work in the neighboring centers.
