Blomberg [ 'blɔmbɛʁk ] ( Low German : In'n Blommajje , Blommerg) is a town in East Westphalia-Lippe , North Rhine-Westphalia . It is located in the east of the Lippe district , around 45 kilometers east of Bielefeld and 20 kilometers northeast of Detmold . In the local reform of 1970, the core city was merged with another 18 previously independent municipalities. Blomberg has around 15,000 inhabitants and has a well-preserved historic old town. The first settlement of the urban area took place between the 6th and 8th centuries AD in the course of the old Saxon immigration. Between 1231 and 1255 the city was founded by Count Bernhard III of Lippe .
geography
Geographical location
Blomberg is 45 km south-east of Bielefeld , 20 km east of Detmold and 17 km south-west of Bad Pyrmont . The urban area lies in the southern foothills of the Lippe Mountains and in the area of the Blomberger and Schwalenberger heights.
The core city is located in the center of the so-called Blomberger Basin, which is about 150 m above sea level and is clearly separated from the surrounding area. The border of the basin in the north and east is formed by the 400 m high wooded mountain ridges of the Barntruper and Blomberger Stadtwaldes with the Dickerberg, Beckerberg and Winterberg. To the west are the Höntruper Berg, Meierberg, Mossenberg (228 m) and Püllenberg (261 m), while the border in the south is formed by the Nessenberg (235 m), Spielberg (239 m) and Steinberg (342 m). The eastern part of the Blomberg Basin is drained by the Diestel , a left tributary of the Emmer . A watershed has formed between the districts of Istrup and Großenmarpe. That is why the western part of the Blomberg basin is drained via the Marpe and its tributaries towards Bega / Werre. The lowest point of the municipality is at 139 m , the highest is the summit of the Winterberg at 429 m .
geology
The municipality is located on the southern flank of the Pyrmont-Piesberger axis, almost exclusively rocks from the Middle (Km) and Upper Keupers (Ko) are exposed. The layers of rock, which were once level in the Middle Ages, were raised in the Tertiary around 30 million years ago and formed the Blomberger Sattel.
The older gray and red marls of the Middle Keuper (Km1) were exposed in the center of the saddle by erosion , which is also called Gipskeuper because of the layered layers of gypsum . The basin structure, which can be clearly recognized, was created, this phenomenon is called a relief reversal. The reed sandstone (Km2) then forms a first distinctive terrain level. The city itself is located on the western edge of this escarpment. The reed sandstone was extracted in small quarries as quarry stone for building purposes. The marl stones of the so-called Rote Wand (Km3) are susceptible to weathering, only the following harder marl stones (Km4) create a further step in the terrain. The outermost edge of the basin structure consists of harder rock layers of the Upper Keuper (Ko) Rätkeuper .
During the Tertiary, plaster layers dissolved in the inner edges of the pool, which were made of plaster of paris. This process, also known as subrosion, formed hollows. These were backfilled with the weathering marls from the immediate area. Because of their high clay content, these sediments formed the raw material basis for some brick factories. Loess was deposited in the basin during the last Ice Age and has weathered to loess clay. The height of the deposits is up to 150 cm and is responsible for the good to very good quality of the arable soil.
Expansion and use of the urban area
The city, classified as a small town , extends over an area of 99.12 km². The municipal area has a maximum extension in east-west direction of around 12½ km and in north-south direction of around 15½ km.
The majority of the soil is used by agriculture, in the area of the damp brook lowlands mainly as grassland and pastures. Three-quarters of the forest on the surrounding mountains consists of deciduous trees, mainly beeches, while spruce cultures thrive on the Rätkeuper. Compared to the NRW state average of 49.4%, the agricultural area in Blomberg is 60%, while the forest area is 25.4% (NRW) and 26.5% (Blomberg).
Extensive areas of the Blomberg urban area are well to very well suited for the use of geothermal heat sources by means of geothermal probes and heat recovery through heat pump heating . In the central and southern urban area, however, the suitability is rather mediocre, in isolated cases poor (see the adjacent map).

history
City foundation and life in the late Middle Ages
The present urban area was settled between the 6th and 8th centuries AD during the course of the Old Saxon expansion. During this time, the villages in the region that end with -trup were created, such as Herrentrup, Istrup, Wellentrup, Brüntrup, Tintrup and Höntrup. The term -trup means -dorf and was formed over time by metathesis .
In the 11th century, the population grew significantly: if the farmers worked with primitive agricultural methods that did not allow for productive cultivation of the soil, this situation changed with the introduction of the iron wheel plow , the three-field economy and the water mill in the High Middle Ages and led to more productive ones Harvests that improved the food situation. This made the Lippe area interesting for the ruling class. The new rulers were the noblemen of the Lippe and the counts of Schwalenberg and Sternberg . It is believed that they both built Blomberg Castle together, which initially only served as a fortress.
Between 1231 and 1255 the town was founded by Bernhard III. The evidence about this was lost in the course of the Soest feud , so there is no exact date. However, there is a document from the year 1283, from which it emerges that at this time the town charter "had existed for a long time". Blomberg was evidently of particular importance to the Lippe sovereigns because the city was at the crossroads of three important medieval trade routes. These long-distance routes were the Kölnische Strasse, which led via Soest , Horn and Blomberg to Hameln , furthermore the Frankfurter Strasse, which led via Kassel , Warburg , Steinheim , Blomberg and Rinteln to Bremen and finally the street from Osnabrück via Herford , Lemgo , Blomberg, Höxter and on to Thuringia . In the vast forests, bands of robbers threatened the traffic at the time and the streets in the Blomberg area were secured by six watchtowers.
The city was built according to the traditional three-street system , in which three parallel longitudinal streets meet at the ends in front of a city gate. The area of the approximately 11.3 hectare large city was planned for 1,600 residents and only expanded beyond its border to the east after 1860, i.e. almost 600 years later. Simon I (1275–1344) chose Blomberg as his residence and had the castle expanded as a residence. He and his successors often switched between their homes in Blomberg and Brake . The town and castle were fortified all around, the castle was additionally secured by ramparts and moats. To the west and south, steep slopes offered natural protection, while to the east and north the city was surrounded by walls, ditches, ramparts and even thorn hedges. In addition, there were six defense towers and at the gates there were kennels and military forces . The lower gate and parts of the city wall are still preserved from the city fortifications.
In Blomberg there was a certain division into the upper and lower town, with artisans living above and farmers below. Upper and lower town had separate huts and even the town inns were distributed in exact numbers between upper and lower town. Children from the upper town were taught by the cantor and those from the lower town by the sexton. As everywhere in the cities, Blomberg's economy was determined by the guild rules . Almost all craft businesses in the Blomberg Basin were concentrated in the city, only millers, blacksmiths, wheel makers, cobblers and patch cutters were able to settle in the country.
Destruction, Reconstruction and Reformation
The fortifications, however, did not protect Blomberg from total destruction in the course of the Soest feud. In 1447 the Archbishop of Cologne besieged the city and had it burned down almost completely by his mercenaries on June 14th .
The city was rebuilt from 1468 with the support of Bernhard VII . A momentous event occurred at this time. A woman named Alheyd Pustekoke stole 45 consecrated hosts from Martini Church . For fear of discovery she threw it into the well in the Blessed Corner. But the hosts did not sink, Alheyd was convicted of theft and burned at the stake as a punishment. Soon afterwards the news spread that the fountain had miraculous healing powers and that Blomberg developed into a place of pilgrimage . The news of this even reached the Vatican , so that the cardinals in Rome encouraged the building of a chapel over the fountain. 1468 were Augustinian monks in the monastery Möllenbeck given this church and were receiving permission to build a monastery. The church was expanded into a late Gothic hall church in 1473 and is now the Evangelical Reformed parish church. The amount of donations was so substantial that a monastery church could be built, which served as the burial place of the Lippe noblemen and counts for almost 200 years. It is historically not clear whether the trial against Alheyd Pustekoke can be classified as a "witch trial".
In a total of five state parliaments in Cappel , cities and knighthood decided in 1538 to introduce a Protestant church order for Lippe and Blomberg converted to the Evangelical Lutheran faith. The fountain lost its national significance and was forgotten. The second Reformation took place in 1605: sovereign Count Simon VI. ordered the introduction of the Evangelical Reformed Confession according to John Calvin in all towns and communities in the county of Lippe . Only Lemgo was able to successfully resist, while Blomberg reluctantly submitted.
Thirty Years War and Economic Development
During the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) Blomberg was again badly destroyed when in August 1636 enemy troops sacked the city. In the course of the war, the citizens of Blomberg were struck by a devastating plague epidemic and the population fell within a short time from 1640 to 675 people. The city was slow to recover from the horrors of the war and it was not until 1834 that it returned to its former population.
In 1589 three women from Donop and Kleinenmarpe were accused and executed in Blomberg in a witch trial . From 1589 to 1674 three men and two women were involved in witch trials in Wellentrup . On March 10, 2015, the city council of Blomberg rehabilitated the victims of the witch trials in a socio-ethical and moral sense.
Some merchants settled in Blomberg's main streets, the Langen and the Kurzen Steinweg, some of whose stately hall houses from the 16th and 17th centuries are still preserved today. According to the Lippe census of 1776, there was a diverse artisanal and commercial structure in Blomberg. This included 84 shoemakers, 30 equipment makers, 30 farmers and carters, 15 carpenters, 13 bakers, 10 clerks, 8 linen weavers, 7 locksmiths, 6 blacksmiths, 3 innkeepers, 3 hat makers, 3 glaziers, 3 butchers, 3 bathers and surgeons, 3 Dealer, 3 bricklayers, 2 pharmacists, 2 wheel makers and 2 carpenters.
The shoemaker's trade developed in the 18th century. The shoemaker's lantern is still the symbol of Blomberg's craftsmanship today . At times over 100 shoemakers worked in the city and sent their products to Kassel , Osnabrück , Hanover and Braunschweig .
industrialization
At the beginning of the 19th century, the wood industry developed into an economic focus. In 1805, 5,000 chairs were manufactured and sold in foreign markets. The Krone chair factory was founded in 1880 and Bernd Hausmann set up the first plywood factory in Germany in 1893 . At the beginning of the 19th century, Friedrich Vöchting and Carl Gronemann began growing carnations on the former dairy site. After all, there were over 1,500 varieties of carnation that were exported around the world until the First World War . This gave Blomberg the nickname Carnation City .
In the years 1835 to 1895 Blomberg's population grew from 2,141 to 3,084 people. In the last decade of the 19th century in particular, there was an economic boom through the connection of Blomberg to the railway network. 1897 was a branch line opened with the city following the railway line Altenbeken - Hanover found. Despite the first attempts at industrial development, agriculture remained an essential economic factor, but often as a source of secondary income. In the mid-1920s, 700 of the 1,000 resident households were still cultivating arable land or gardens of up to two hectares.
First World War and Weimar Republic
In the First World War (1914-1918) 180 Blombergers were killed or are considered missing. After the end of the war, Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated and Philipp Scheidemann proclaimed the republic on November 9, 1918. One day later , the Lippe People's and Soldiers' Council was constituted in Detmold and the new Lippe government formed. Only two days later, the People's Council of the City of Blomberg , made up of workers and soldiers , was founded in Blomberg . Gatherings on the street were banned, children were banned from being outside after dark and teenagers after 9 p.m. After this proclamation, the red flag of the revolution was hoisted at the town hall. According to recent historical research, the majority of the workers 'and soldiers' councils did not belong to the extreme left, but to the MSPD and the moderate members of the USPD . At the Berlin Reich Council Congress at the end of 1918, a clear majority of the delegates decided against a soviet republic and in favor of the earliest possible elections to the National Assembly, after which the SPD could form the first government of the Weimar Republic . In Lippe, Prince Leopold IV. To Lippe-Biesterfeld abdicated and the Principality of Lippe became a Free State in the Union of the German Empire.
In March 1920, as a reaction to the Kapp Putsch, there was a general strike , in which 650 Blomberg workers from 25 companies took part. As in the rest of the Reich, in the last years of the Weimar Republic there were violent clashes between supporters of the KPD and NSDAP , some of which resulted in battles and shootings.
National Socialism and World War II
On January 15, 1933, state elections were held in Lippe. In the Reichstag election in November 1932, the NSDAP had to accept a decrease in its share of the vote from 41.13% to 34.72%. Therefore the Nazis tried to win the state elections in Lippe under all circumstances. The entire leadership of the NSDAP was involved in the election campaign, and in the final phase of the election campaign Hitler alone spoke in Lippe sixteen times within ten days. On January 13, Hitler and Frick spoke to 5,000 people in Blomberg. In the election, the NSDAP was able to increase by almost 10% and received 43.4% of the vote, while the SPD only received 26.6% and the KPD 15.9% of the vote. The NSDAP declared the election victory in Lippe to be Hitler's breakthrough on his way to the Reich Chancellery, but the decision was actually made in Berlin when Reich President Hindenburg gave in to the insistence of the conservatives and appointed Hitler Chancellor. After that, the Nazis immediately expanded their power and suspended elementary basic rights. As part of the so-called " Gleichschaltung" , the other political parties, trade unions and many associations were banned and most leadership positions in politics, administration and in all public life were occupied by the NSDAP. Anyone who did not fit into the “national community” was persecuted and imprisoned.
On March 6, 1933, the first functionaries and members of the KPD in Blomberg were taken into so-called protective custody. Then there were 14 house searches of members of the SPD. The growing reprisals by the SA and the police led to many resignations in the SPD. On April 1, 1933, the Blomberg SPD local association dissolved. The upholsterer Wilhelm Friedrichs, who wrote a number of letters critical of the regime to Blomberger and Detmold Nazi functionaries, became a victim of the Nazis. He was arrested and taken to a prison in Hanover, where he hanged himself the day before the trial. It is known from Jewish citizens of Blomberg that the Königsheim family emigrated to Argentina under pressure from the Nazis . The last Jewish resident of Blomberg was 70-year-old Emma Lippert, b. Examus, who was deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp and on to Minsk , where she was murdered. Since then there has been no Jewish community in Blomberg. The simple half-timbered synagogue from 1808 is now used as the city archive.
The cityscape of Blomberg survived the Second World War largely unscathed. At the beginning of April 1945 the Americans crossed the Teutoburg Forest and reached Detmold. The 83rd US Infantry Division operated further east in the area to the right of Reichsstrasse 1 and advanced northeast via Blomberg. US soldiers cleared the anti-tank barriers at the dairy and encountered no significant resistance, as the SS units had previously left the city. Blomberg was handed over by the mayor on April 5, 1945 and occupied by the Americans without a fight, while their tanks drove on to Hagen and Lügde . In the Second World War 205 Blombergers were killed and 105 are missing.
Post-war and present
From 1945 to 1952 Blomberg had to accept a total of 1,500 Displaced Persons from the Baltic States . In 1957, the Phoenix Contact company established its headquarters in Blomberg, which currently employs around 3,500 people and is therefore the largest employer in the region. On behalf of NATO , a Dutch unit of 1,600 soldiers and their family members were stationed in the so-called Nederlandspark in the south of the Blomberg industrial area from 1962 to 1996. They formed a not inconsiderable economic factor for the city. In 1970 the municipal reorganization took place, in the course of which the core town of Blomberg was assigned a total of 17 previously independent municipalities as districts. The population almost doubled and grew from 7761 to 15,299 people. The core city is not only the administrative center for Blomberg, but as a medium-sized center it also supplies an area with up to 60,000 inhabitants. In 1973 planning began for a comprehensive renovation of the historic city center. The official conclusion of the work was in 1989 with the unveiling of the Alheyd fountain on the market square.
On March 7, 2005 the French President Jacques Chirac and Federal Chancellor Schröder met in the Burghotel Blomberg. In 2008 Blomberg celebrated the 725th anniversary of the founding of the city with many activities and events as well as a city festival from August 15th to 17th.
Religions
Denomination statistics
According to the 2011 census , 57.3% of the inhabitants were Protestant, 10.0% Roman Catholic and 32.7% were non-denominational , belonged to another religious community or did not provide any information. On December 31, 2019, a total of 16,097 people lived in Blomberg, of which 49.75% are Protestant, Catholic 9.35% and 40.9% belong to none of these churches. Two years earlier on January 1, 2018, a total of 16,188 people lived in Blomberg, 51.8% of whom were Protestant, 9.65% Catholic, and 38.55% belonged to none of these churches. The Protestant residents are predominantly Protestant Reformed .
history
In 1538 it was decided to introduce the Reformation in Lippe and Blomberg converted to the Evangelical Lutheran faith. In 1605, the sovereign Count Simon VI. however, that all cities and parishes in the county of Lippe should introduce the Evangelical Reformed Confession according to John Calvin and Blomberg reluctantly complied.
After the Reformation, the entire property of the old monastery fell to the state government. The former Catholic Martinikirche was demolished in 1833 due to dilapidation, only the tower remained. Today it serves as a bell tower for the Evangelical Reformed community in the neighboring monastery church. Other evangelical reformed parishes exist around the village churches in Donop, Cappel, Istrup and Reelkirchen. There are Evangelical Lutheran churches with the Martin Luther Church in Blomberg-Stadtmitte and the new church in Paulsenstrasse. The Protestant churches in Blomberg are members of the Lippe Regional Church , which unites 61 Reformed and 22 Lutheran congregations in Lippe.
With the Reformation all Catholic life disappeared from the city well into the 19th century. A small Catholic church was not built until 1936. When the congregation grew and the church was too small for the growing number of visitors, the foundation stone for a new, larger church was laid on April 1, 1966, which was consecrated on March 4, 1967 by Auxiliary Bishop Paul Nordhues of Paderborn. Today about 13% of the Blomberg population are Roman Catholic . The Catholic parish of St. Martin with the associated vicariate is located on the edge of the Blomberg town center near the city cemetery. Together with three parishes, it belongs to the Lippe-Süd pastoral network in the Bielefeld-Lippe dean's office in the Archdiocese of Paderborn .
Other Christian congregations are the Evangelical Free Church Congregations, the Evangelical Christians , the Free Evangelical Congregation, the Independent Evangelical Lutheran Church , the New Apostolic Church and the Baptists.
There has been no Jewish community in Blomberg since the Holocaust . The former synagogue from 1808 is now used as the city archive after a renovation and, like the former Jewish cemetery in Blomberg , is a listed building.
An indication of the current distribution of religions can be the denomination of the students in Blomberg. According to this, 63.2% of the students in the school year 2006/2007 stated Protestant, 12.7% Catholic and 5.3% Islamic as religious affiliation. 8.0% said they belonged to another religion and 10.7% no denomination.
Incorporations
As part of the North Rhine-Westphalian regional reform , the town of Blomberg and the 18 communities Altendonop, Borkhausen, Brüntrup, Cappel, Dalborn, Donop, Eschenbruch, Großenmarpe, Herrentrup, Höntrup, Istrup, Kleinenmarpe, Maspe, Mossenberg-Wöhren, Reelkirchen, Siebenhöfen, Tintrup and Wellentrup merged to form the new town of Blomberg. The incorporated earlier villages are called localities. The core city was divided into two local districts, namely Blomberg-Nord and Blomberg-Süd. The individual localities or local districts have a local chief. The localities of Maspe, Borkhausen and Siebenhöfen are represented by a joint mayor.
From 1932 to 1972 Blomberg belonged to the Detmold district , then to the Lippe district . On January 1, 1973, the Bielefeld law determined the formation of the new Lippe district from the previous Lemgo and Detmold districts. The district administration is based in Detmold.

coat of arms
Blazon : In green a silver (white) castle with red conical roofs. In the doorway is a red rose with a golden (yellow) clump.
The city of Blomberg, which was newly formed after the municipal reform in 1970, essentially took over Blomberg's old city arms with the approval of June 28, 1971. The coat of arms goes back to seal representations of the city of Blomberg, which can be proven since the 13th century. From the different seal images of the Middle Ages, the most common form of representation, namely the three towers with the Lippe rose, was selected for the coat of arms. This links the symbol of the city's architecture with the symbol of the former sovereign, the Lippe rose .
Town twinning
Blomberg maintains partnerships with the city of Papendrecht in the Netherlands, as well as the Berlin district of Reinickendorf , the city of Oschatz in Saxony and, since 2009, the city of Lieusaint in France has also been one of Blomberg's twin cities.
- The relationship with the Dutch city of Papendrecht had existed since 1972, due to the presence of Dutch soldiers in Blomberg. After various contact discussions and mutual visits, the Blomberg city council decided to offer Papendrecht the official city partnership and to promote friendly relations between citizens of both cities. In February 1975 the partnership was officially sealed by both sides.
- Blomberg's relationship with Berlin dates back to 1954 when Kinderland was sent from Berlin department stores to Blomberg. A large part of the Blomberg population was involved in this action. In a new development area in Blomberg, only Berlin street names were later used as a sign of solidarity. The Reinickendorf district office named one of its streets Blomberger Weg . In May 1990 this relationship developed into an official town partnership with the Reinickendorf district.
- In 1987 the first contacts with the Saxon city of Oschatz were made, at that time still in the former GDR . After the fall of the Wall, Oschatz also expressed the wish for an official connection. In June 1990, relevant documents were signed and exchanged in the Oschatz town hall.
- Lieusaint is the youngest of all of Blomberg's twin cities. The city is located about 35 km south-southeast of Paris. On June 27, 2009, the official partnership was established at a ceremony in Lieusaint. The first partnership inquiries were made in 2001 by an au pair. Since then there has been a lively exchange between the cities of Blomberg and Lieusaint. Every year there is a student exchange between the Hermann-Vöchting-Gymnasium in Blomberg and the Collège Saint Louis in Lieusaint. In addition, every year, mostly at Whitsun, there is an exchange for the citizens of the city and the surrounding area, which is organized and carried out by the Franco-German committee of the city of Blomberg.
Culture and sights

The music offering in the city core extends over the Fanfarenzug Blomberg , the Musikzug volunteer firemen , the mandolin club Edelweiss , the Vielsaitig ensemble , the Vocalensemble Blomberg and the six-member A Cappella ensemble chapeau . In addition, there are a number of other offers in the individual villages.

theatre
Blomberg does not have its own theater. Theater fans have to go to the Landestheater Detmold , the Hamelin Theater or the open-air stage in nearby Bellenberg. Guest performances by foreign ensembles take place in the "Kultur- und Bürgerhaus - Alte Meierei".
A few years ago, an amateur theater group was formed in Blomberg with the “Zinnober” theater group from VHS Lippe-Ost. Another theater company is Theater Dream .
Buildings
The castle Blomberg was built in the 13th century and rebuilt after extensive destruction in the Soest feud as a two-storey three-wing building again. It then temporarily served as the residence of the noblemen of the Lippe. The ground floor of the central wing was built in 1562 under Count Bernhard VII, while the upper floor made of timber was added in 1569. The most important master builder was Hermann Wulff from Lemgo, who designed the Utlucht facing the inner courtyard from white sandstone. Wulff also worked on the Lemgo town hall , the witch mayor's house and Brake Castle . The castle is now partially used as a hotel and restaurant.
The former parish church of St. Martin was built after 1447 and demolished in 1833 due to dilapidation. Today only the mighty bell tower with the spire that was renewed in 1846 is preserved. The district court was built on the site of the nave in 1879. It is a two-storey square building in the so-called round arch style . After the local court moved to a new building on the outskirts of the city center, the building is now used by the city administration of Blomberg.
The Augustinian Canons Monastery "Zum heiligen Leichnam" was built in 1460 on the spot where Alheyd Pustkoke threw stolen consecrated hosts into a well. She was tortured as a punishment and burned at the stake. The water of the fountain was said to have special healing powers and Blomberg developed into a place of pilgrimage. In 1468 Augustinian canons from Möllenbeck took over the fountain and built a monastery on the surrounding area, which existed until 1536. The monastery church remained the burial place of the Lippe noble lords until 1769. The tomb of the founder Bernhard VII and his wife Anna is located in the choir of the church, and another 19 coffins are housed in two rooms in the burial vault.
The Alheyd Pustekoke fountain on the market square, created by Hans Gerd Ruwe , is intended to commemorate Allheyd Pustkoke and the event described above.
The town hall on the market square was built in 1587 by master builder Hans Rade. The three half-timbered gables on the front date from 1830. On the upper floor is the town hall hall and the smaller meeting room, also known as the Wilbasensaal, in which the lordly open and goge courts of Wilbasen met.
The Niederntor dates from the 15th century and is the last remaining medieval city gate in Lippe.
The Böhmerhof at Pideritplatz 4 is a simple two-storey plastered building that was built in 1717 for Drosten Johann Philipp von Kopf from Schaumburg-Lippe . The portal has a drilled frame and a blown gable top into which the builder's coat of arms is embedded. Up until the 19th century, the townscape was dominated by gabled half-timbered hall houses . Eaves houses were only found in the side streets near the city wall. The only older solid building is the house at Langer Steinweg 23, built by Mayor H. Schröder around 1613 . A richly carved, quadruple jutting half-timbered gable rises above the stone basement. On the exterior there is a second-use ashlar named 1573, which probably comes from the previous building. In the Winkelviertel is the house Im Seligen Winkel no. 4 , a typical craftsman's house with a central hall from 1780. House no. 12 is the former sexton's house , built in 1661, which is a so-called four - column house .
Among the still numerous half-timbered buildings are also to be emphasized:
- Brinkstraße 4 - decorated with fan rosettes , built around 1569
- Kirchhofstraße 2 - merchant's house with storage floor, marked 1662
- Kirchhofstraße 5 - hall house with carved panels, marked 1664
- Langer Steinweg 20 - behind the facade from 1826 there are still components from around 1452.
- Langer Steinweg 33 - the building was severely damaged by fire in 1978. A new building was built behind the preserved gable.
- Neue Torstrasse 26 - “Zum Scharfrichter” restaurant; Large hall house with richly carved gate beam, marked 1677
- Neue Torstrasse 16 - built around 1654
- Neue Torstrasse 14 - built around 1587
Kuhstrasse and Kirchhofstrasse also offer particularly attractive streets.
Parks
The Burggarten in the southwest of the city center is a modern green area with lawns and various deciduous and coniferous trees in the edge area. The southern part of the office building is used as a private garden, but it is open to the public and has a varied planting of shrubs. The former vineyard and the two tree gardens on the western mountain slope have overgrown in recent decades. The paths in the area of the vineyard were developed as a promenade and provided with benches and viewpoints.
The castle garden in the village of Reelkirchen probably dates from the middle of the 19th century. The park is laid out on what is known as a grave island, which is surrounded by a moat. A moat is the Westphalian name for a moat that surrounded an aristocratic seat in the Middle Ages for defense purposes. Later, graves could be part of the garden design in the vicinity of moated castles. In the local history of Reelkirchen, the renovation of the building and the restoration of the park in 1935 are mentioned. Old trees and a number of young conifers dominate the horticultural facility today, although it is not open to the public.
The old cemetery in the city of Blomberg has not been used as such since 1880. The green space was converted into the “Groene Plaats” in 2009 as part of the NRW state competition “Ab in die Mitte” under the Blomberg motto “Nelke.küsst.Tulpe” and from now on serves as a quiet area in the city center, whereby the character of the old cemetery has not been lost is.
Natural monument
A 1000-year-old linden tree stands in the shadow of the Romanesque church in Reelkirchen. The tree veteran with a trunk circumference of around 6 m stands in the churchyard and was secured with supports and wire ropes a few years ago. Location: 51 ° 54 '51.2 " N , 9 ° 1' 46.1" O .

The weekly market takes place every Friday in Blomberg on the historic market square from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. On the second full weekend in September, the Wilbaser Markt , the oldest and largest fair in Lippe , begins in the Siebenhöfen district of Blomberg . Originally a parish fair , the event developed into one of the most important horse markets in Northern Germany.
Every two years on the first weekend in July, the rifle festival of the old Blomberg rifle battalion takes place with around 1000 active riflemen and attracts many visitors from Blomberg and the surrounding area. In the years between the shooting festivals, the Blomberg Carnation Festival with the colorful, spectacular Bloemenkorso has been taking place in summer since 2009 .
Traditionally, on the 1st weekend in Advent, the Sint-Nicolaas market is held on the Blomberg market square . The event goes back to the Dutch armed forces, which were stationed in Blomberg from 1962 to 1996.
Every year in summer, young and old hike around Blomberg on four consecutive days on the four-evening march , although the routes are different every evening. There is a short (5 km) and a long route (10 km) to choose from. The first four-evening march was carried out in 1968 by the Dutch stationed in Blomberg.
Sports
The women's handball team of the HSG Blomberg-Lippe is known nationwide . The HSG consists of two parent associations, TV Herrentrup and TV Blomberg, which merged in 1993. The first women's team at HSG Blomberg-Lippe plays in the 1st Bundesliga . The HSG youth teams are also successful, with the female A youth winning the West German championship several times over the past few seasons.

Another specialty is the Lippske palm , as here the kale is called. Together with cabbage sausage and potatoes, it is prepared for the popular kale meal.
Economy and Infrastructure
At the beginning of the 19th century, wood processing became increasingly important. The manufacture of chairs should be mentioned here in particular. In 1893, Bernd Hausmann founded the first plywood factory in Germany, applied for a patent and is therefore considered the inventor of the beech plywood panel. The wood industry remains an important branch of industry for Blomberg to this day. Another focus and important employer is electrical engineering . Numerous medium-sized companies have settled in the three industrial areas of Blomberg, Flachsmarkt , Feldohlentrup and Nederlandspark . Nevertheless, many employees have to commute to other industrial locations in neighboring locations. Blomberg is part of the Integrated Rural Development Concept Südlippe , a network of the communities Blomberg, Horn-Bad Meinberg , Lügde , Schieder-Schwalenberg and Schlangen .
