Bonenburg is a district of Warburg in the district of Höxter , North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ) with about 1100 inhabitants.
Geographical location
Bonenburg lies in the transition area between the southern foothills of the Egge Mountains and the Warburger Börde in the southern part of the Teutoburg Forest / Egge Mountains Nature Park . It is located on a narrow ridge about 12 km northwest of the core town of Warburg. It is traversed by the Diemel tributary Naure and the Eggel tributary Eder rises in the village .
history
The name probably goes back to the Count of Boyneburg , who as feudal lord of the Bishop of Paderborn had fiefdoms here and protected them with a castle. The monastery Hardehausen acquired land in the area Bonenburg and later came under the rule of the monastery. During the Thirty Years 'War and the Seven Years' War , the place was badly damaged. Bonenburg belonged to the parish of Scherfede until 1831 , and since 1650 it has had its own chapel. Today the Bonenburg Church, built in 1741, stands there . In 1803 Bonenburg became an independent municipality. With the construction of the railway from Altenbeken to Warburg, Bonenburg received its own station on the Hamm – Warburg line . It now only functions as a depot .
On January 1, 1975 Bonenburg was incorporated into the city of Warburg.
In 2013 a hobby paleontologist found the fossil remains of a spine in a clay pit in Bonenburg. It is the first finding of the species Rhaeticosaurus mertensi , which was dated to an age of 201.3 million years and is therefore the world's oldest plesiosaur fossil. The original is currently on display in the LWL Museum für Naturkunde .
