Location of Boke in Delbrück

Boke is a southern district of Delbrück in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany and belongs to the Paderborn district . Boke has 2619 inhabitants.

geography

Geographical location

Boke is located in the southeast of the Westphalian Bay on the Lippe . According to the division most commonly used today in the handbook of the natural division of Germany , the location is in the subunit 540.20 Obere Lippetalung , which belongs to the subunit 540.2 Ostmünsterländer Sande , the main unit 540 Ostmünsterland and the main unit group 54 Westphalian Bay .

Local area

With an area of ​​16.1 km², Boke has a north-south extension of 4.0 and a west-east extension of 6.5 km.

Neighboring places

The place borders on the Salzkotten districts of Thüle , Schwelle and Mantinghausen as well as the Delbrück districts of Hagen , Delbrück and Anreppen . These places all belong to the Paderborn district .

Local division

Boke itself is divided into Kirchboke, Ringboke and Heitwinkel.

geology

In the area of ​​the lip lowlands , limestone and marlstone formed as sediment in seas in 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 .

Above that, sand and gravel were brought in from the Senne through the Lippe and deposited. In the area of rivers and streams there were also alluvial deposits and the moors were also formed in the Holocene . The wind formed the sand into dunes , which are now largely dismantled. From the sands was Podsol in which a Ortsteinschicht hampered root growth. In the area of ​​the Lippe floodplain, floodplain loam was created by the sedimentation of suspended matter.

climate

Like Ostwestfalen-Lippe, Boke 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

View of Boke ( Johann Georg Rudolphi , 1672)

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

Probably prompted in 836 Bishop Badurad the transfer of the relics of St. Landelin from the Crespin Abbey in the Diocese of Cambrai in West Francia to Boke. Boke thus became a base of Christianity in the newly evangelized early medieval Saxony.

In 1101, Count Erpo von Padberg and his wife Beatrix von Itter founded the Boke monastery over the bones of the saint, which was moved to Flechtdorf northwest of Korbach after only three years . Most of the relics were also taken away.

In 1802 the Paderborn bishopric lost its state independence when it was occupied by Prussia . It fell to the Kingdom of Westphalia for a few years in 1807 and returned to Prussia in 1813 after the Napoleonic defeat. Boke was incorporated into the province of Westphalia , founded in 1815, and came to the Büren district, founded in 1816 , by decree of the royal government in Minden .

Local coat of arms stone in Boke

Boke is the namesake for the Boker-Heide Canal , which went into operation in 1853 ; this irrigation canal is an important technical cultural monument of Westphalia .

When the counties were divided into offices , Boke was initially the seat of the office of Boke. This has been administered by a bailiff since 1859 with the Salzkotten office in personal union. The final amalgamation to form the Salzkotten-Boke office, based in Salzkotten, took place in 1936.

From 1823 to 1860 there were attempts to make the Lippe navigable, but failed because of recurring floods and flood disasters.

In 1986, Boke celebrated the 1150th anniversary of the transfer of the relics of the parish priest Saint Landelinus.

Incorporation

Old Boker coat of arms

Before 1 January 1975, the former municipality of Boke 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. Legal successor of the municipality of Boke is the city of Delbrück, legal successor of the dissolved office of Salzkotten-Boke is the city of Salzkotten .
