About this picture

Borchen is a municipality in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany and belongs to the Paderborn district .

geography

Geographical location

The municipality of Borchen is located on the Paderborn plateau and thus in the southeast corner of the Westphalian Bay , but it also has a small portion of the eastern Hellweg area . On the northwestern edge of the town, the Altenau flows into the Alme , where the A 33 passes Borchen.

The lowest point of the municipality is at 125  m , the highest at 334  m .

geology

Geothermal map of Borchen

The subsoil of the municipality consists primarily of marl limestone , marl limestone and slightly sand-bearing marl limestone from the Upper Cretaceous . The rocks are not tectonically disturbed, slightly inclined to the west towards the interior of the Münsterland Bay and lie above a base of folded rocks from Devonian and Carboniferous . In the north-west of the town of Borchen, on the layers of chalk, there is partly a thin layer of loose rock consisting of ice-age deposits such as ground moraine , meltwater and river sediments .

The subsoil is capable of karstification , as evidenced by a large number of sinkholes on the Paderborn plateau and swallow holes in the stream and river valleys. It is a good karst aquifer , but also prone to pollution due to the low filtering effect of the soil. The sinking precipitation and surface water in the western municipality area flows in the karst channels to the northwest along the slope of the strata and reappears in the Borchen karst springs. One example is the Storchenkolk . To the east of a line from Hamborn Castle to Lichtenau- Ebbinghausen (Lichtenau), water that sinks back out in the Pader springs . The municipality has been supplied with drinking water by the Paderborn municipal utilities since 1977 because of the pollution hazard described in its own water. Between 1977 and 1990 the water was drawn from Paderborn- Marienloh , and since then it has been coming from the Aabach dam .

The Cretaceous marl limestones are currently not being mined and are to be regarded as a potential reserve area for the cement industry . As brick raw materials are clay and silt of Quaternary used.

The soils in the municipality were created from the rocks of the Upper Cretaceous. Due to weathering, a stony-clayey layer of clay with browning , only up to 50 cm thick, has formed. These brown earths are for the most part rich in bases and almost completely cover the plateau. The loess of the Ice Age - formerly widespread - was locally eroded into the dry valleys as a result of clearing in the Middle Ages and formed colluvia there . To the northwest of Borchen there is a top layer of loess above the ground moraine, which has weathered to form brown earth. Here seepage water partially accumulates over impermeable layers of soil, which resulted in pseudogley . In the valleys of the Altenau and the Alme , nutrient-rich floodplain soils prevail.

Borchen is well to very well suited for the use of geothermal heat sources by means of a geothermal probe and heat recovery through heat pump heating (see the adjacent map).

history

Borchen has only existed in its current form since 1969. Its predecessor towns have belonged to the secular rule of the German diocese of Paderborn , originally in the duchy of Saxony , since it was founded . From the 14th century the territory of the prince-bishopric of Paderborn ( Hochstift ) was formed in the Holy Roman Empire , and from the 16th century it was part of the Lower Rhine-Westphalian Empire . In 1802/03 the bishopric was occupied by the Kingdom of Prussia. In 1807 Prussia had to surrender all territories on the left Elbe, the area fell to the Kingdom of Westphalia for a short time . However, this kingdom collapsed again in 1813 and the area fell back to Prussia in 1815, which created new administrative structures here, which are still in effect today in a modified form. So the area comes to the administrative district of Minden, formed in 1815, in the newly created province of Westphalia . In 1816, when the new districts were formed , Alfen, Nordborchen, Kirchborchen and Dörenhagen came to the Paderborn district - here they belong to the Kirchborchen district - and Etteln came to the Büren district , where it belonged to the Atteln district until 1974 .

With the move to the new town hall in 1984, the cornerstone of which was laid in 1983, the Borchen municipality relocated to the Kirchborchen district.

For the history of the individual districts, see the section History at Alfen , Dörenhagen , Etteln , Kirchborchen and Nordborchen .

Most of the finds of this type come from the Neolithic , especially the Michelsberg culture . More than 30 burial mounds and grave fields from this time testify to the settlement of the area of ​​today's municipality during the older Bronze Age .

Wallburg Gellinghausen

Based on the approval of the District President Detmold on September 18, 1975, the Borchen municipality bears the coat of arms described below:

Description of coat of arms
“In gold (yellow) a blue oblique left wave bar, which is covered in the upper part with a golden (yellow) wave bar; Above it a "b" made up of five black and four silver (white) lines alternating, with a black cross on top of the shaft. "

The cross reminds of the affiliation to the former Paderborn Monastery . The blue wavy bar, which is split in the upper part, indicates the rivers Alme and Altenau, which flow together in the municipality.

Town twinning

The community has been twinning with Schwarzenberg in the Ore Mountains since 2007 . The partnership developed after the mayor of Borchen became aware of the identical names between him and the city of Schwarzenberg.

The district of Alfen maintains a town partnership with the French municipality of Noyen-sur-Sarthe in the Sarthe department . It is essentially supported by the Franco-German Friendship Circle and the sports club. In June 2000, Borchen mayor Heinrich Schwarzenberg and Alfen mayor Josef Lüke signed the partnership documents of the town twinning for the German side in Noyen-sur-Sarthe.

The entrance was redesigned in the baroque period . Today the church is used as a meeting place and youth meeting place.

The neo-Gothic new parish church of St. Walburga was built when the previous building had become too small at the end of the 19th century. The foundation stone was laid on July 22nd, 1906, and inaugurated on October 13th, 1907. This church contains a valuable Gothic sandstone Madonna from around 1420 in the right aisle and a late Gothic painted wooden figure of St. Meinolf on the west wall of the choir room. A goblet-shaped baptismal font in the Renaissance style stands today in the front left aisle; it used to be in the old parish church.

In the park there is a historic rock cellar that was used to store fruit and vegetables. This park is open to the public.

The Hamborn Castle Park is largely open to the public. It is believed that the park was created at the same time as the castle was built. Today it essentially consists of green areas with solitary shrubs, trees and avenues.

Natural monuments and nature reserves
