About this picture
Borgholzhausen from the Luisenturm

Borgholzhausen is a district town in the Gütersloh district in North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).

geography

Geographical location

Borgholzhausen is located on a pass in the Teutoburg Forest on the northern edge of the Westphalian Bay . The city center is about one kilometer east of the Johannisegge .

The ridge of the Teutoburg Forest separates different landscapes at this point, so that the northern districts of Borgholzhausen are in the Ravensberg hill country , the southern in the plains of the Ostmünsterland .

The highest point is the Hankenüll with a height of 306 meters , over which the border to the neighboring town of Dissen aTW and thus the state border to Lower Saxony runs. There is also the Hollandskopf , which is the most northwestern point of the Weser-Ems watershed . The deepest point is 80 meters high.

geology

Geothermal map of Borgholzhausen
data in kWh / (m a)

The part of the Borgholzhausen area, which lies approximately southwest of an imaginary extension line of the main ridge of the Teutoburg Forest, is counted on the northeast edge of the Münsterland basin. Here the rocks of the near-surface subsurface are steeply erected. They consist of clay marl , lime marl , limestone and marl stones , but also sandstones and sand marls from the Middle Ages (Lower and Upper Cretaceous). These rocks lie on a plinth made of folded rocks from the ancient world ( Devonian , Carboniferous ).

To the northeast of the ridge, the urban area is counted as part of the Ravensberg hill country and consists essentially of marl, limestone and sandstone from the Middle Ages, i.e. Triassic , Jura and Chalk . The one to two kilometer thick sediments were lifted out in the course of the earth's history and broken up into saddles , hollows , clumps and ditches by mountain-forming processes . In this fracture-fold mountain range , the rock layers that used to be undisturbed one above the other are now arranged next to one another and in some cases also in tipped over storage. In the deeper subsurface the rocks of the ancient times can be found again.

Borgholzhausen is moderately to 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

In downtown

The Borgholzhausen Pass through the Teutoburg Forest made a decisive contribution to the founding of the city as an important transition. Documented urn cemeteries from the younger Bronze Age in the districts of Oldendorf, Casum and in the Quertal of Borgholzhausen indicate that there was a settlement from around 1500 BC. Close.

Around the year 1100 Borgholzhausen became the place of the court. The place has been called "Holthus" since 1096, but because of its proximity to Ravensberg Castle, which was built by Count Hermann II of Calvelage , the place name "Borgholthusen" was created in 1317. In the same year it was first referred to as "oppidum" ( country town ). In 1488 it was listed next to Werther and Halle as Wibbold or Wichbold of the County of Ravensberg and with this it was attached to the Electorate of Brandenburg in 1609. In 1669, a line was laid in Borgholzhausen as a state inspection and testing facility.

On April 17, 1719, Borgholzhausen was elevated to a town by Friedrich Wilhelm I, along with other Ravensberg towns, which led to the modernization of the town administration and the settlement of various branches of industry and commerce. So were linen spinning and weaving in the 17th and 18th centuries an important source of income. At the end of the 18th century, the linen trade also flourished. Packing and canvas lines were often delivered via Elberfeld (now part of Wuppertal ) to the Rhineland , to Holland and via Bremen to England. However, when the home workers could no longer keep pace after 1820 due to the competition of machine weaving in England, linen spinning and weaving declined in the entire Ravensberger Land and thus in Borgholzhausen.

From 1740 the honey cake bakery gained in importance (see culinary specialties ). After 1873 several meat factories were added. In 1880, the first steam-powered dairy in Westphalia was built in Borgholzhausen . The “Barthausen” salt works, established in the 17th century, became the “Solbad Ravensberg” after 1907 and operated until the early 1980s. In 2014, the factory production and sale of mineral water from the Marienbrunnen company was finally discontinued.

Up until the end of the Second World War , economic development in the area of ​​today's town of Borgholzhausen was primarily limited to agriculture . Even if small and medium-sized commercial settlements were emerging, especially in the area of ​​today's Borgholzhausen district, in the old town of Borgholzhausen, the tradesmen still cultivated and raised livestock as they could not live from their trade alone. In the other districts of the city, too, agriculture was predominantly the main occupation. Today, agriculture and forestry still make up a significant part of the city's economic life. However, since 1945 industry has played a key role in the development of what is now the town of Borgholzhausen. This development arose not only from the already existing local commercial and industrial branches in the old town area, but from several newly established plants, especially in the south of the Borgholzhausen district.

Religions

As in the entire northern part of the Gütersloh district, the population of Borgholzhausen is predominantly of the Evangelical Lutheran denomination. The evangelical church Borgholzhausen belongs to the parish of Halle (Westphalia).

Incorporations

As part of the North Rhine-Westphalian regional reform , the “Law for the reorganization of municipalities in the district of Halle” of June 24, 1969, created the twelve municipalities of Barnhausen, Berghausen, Borgholzhausen, Casum, Cleve, Hamlingdorf, Holtfeld, Kleekamp, ​​Oldendorf, Ostbarthausen, Westbarthausen and Wichlinghausen merged from the Borgholzhausen office on July 1, 1969 to form the new town of Borgholzhausen. The Borgholzhausen office was dissolved; Legal successor is the city of Borgholzhausen.

On January 1, 1973, in Borgholzhausen, as part of the implementation of the Bielefeld Act, there were still minor changes to the area; Territories were given to the cities of Halle and Werther, in return, territories from the former municipality of Theenhausen were added.

Ravensberg Castle, fortified tower and forester's house

The castle Ravensberg is about 1080 by Hermann II. Of a Calvelage built castle and was the seat of the Earls of Ravensberg (-Calvelage) and namesake for the Ravensberger Land . Today only the mighty keep with its thirty battlements and remains of the castle walls are preserved. In 1981 stones broke from the upper part of the tower, the crown was then secured with steel anchors. In autumn 2006 the tower was extensively renovated. The old stones were re-grouted with sand-lime mortar, and the dome roof was protected against moisture with a plastic layer. Recent excavations have revealed some of the castle's history. Remnants of walls and remains of old buildings have been found. In 2005 the foundation wall of a second defensive tower was discovered in the entrance area, which was completely unknown until then.

In 2002, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia planned to sell the castle as the owner. Thanks to the great commitment of the population and local companies, the Ravensberg Castle Foundation was established, which has owned the ruins since September 2003.
