Location of Brüntorf in Lemgo

Brüntorf is a district of the city of Lemgo in the Lippe district in North Rhine-Westphalia .

history

Brüntorf is one of the oldest settlements in Lippe. The place was first mentioned as Brunincthorp in a document from 1014, which indicates a property of the Paderborn Bishop Meinwerk (1009-1036). In the course of an inheritance dispute in 1011, Thietmar, the younger brother of the Saxon Duke Bernhard Billung , was sentenced by the bishop to a fine of thirty talents in silver. Thietmar therefore had to transfer the Brunincthorp estate in his possession with all accessories to Bishop Meinwerk, who presumably passed it on to Abbess Godesti von Herford , Thietmar's sister. In documents from the end of the 12th century, the name Bruninctorp is mentioned for the first time in the Amte Varenholt .

From the year 1439 originate records that the squire Henry Ledebur as owners of houses, figurines identify and mills. Around 1614 in the village of Brüntorf there were 4 full spouses , 6 half spouses , 3 large cats , 3 middle dogs and 5 small cats , all of whose names have been passed down. Henrich Amedingh, for example, was a serf who belonged to the Varenholz family and was owned by the sovereign of Lippe . Serfs were not allowed to leave the court and not marry without the permission of their host. In addition, they were obliged to perform numerous personal services, such as corporal and men's services .

Every villager or colony had to pay taxes, the amount of which was based on the size and efficiency of the farm. Many farms belonged to aristocrats or wealthy citizens of Lemgo, so that land or corporal taxes had to be paid to them. It was possible to buy oneself free from serfdom or certain official duties. Around 1790, the farmers Kracht, Kehde, Ernst Meier and Ernst Mencke in Brüntrup were free. Serfdom was repealed by a law by Princess Pauline with effect from January 1, 1809, but manual and clamping services , as well as monetary and in-kind contributions, remained and were only replaced in 1832 and 1838, respectively.

The Menkenhof was a fiefdom of Prince zur Lippe until 1918 . After his abdication, Ernst Menke acquired ownership by paying a transfer fee to the Land of Lippe. Another large property was Gut zu Brüntrup, whose manor house was about 100 meters from the Menkenhof on the Junkernkampe . The last owner was the Junker von May . After his death, the estate fell to the Menkenhof, making it the largest farm in Brüntorf.

Until it was incorporated into Lemgo in accordance with the Lemgo Act on January 1, 1969, Brüntorf was an independent municipality in the Lemgo district . On January 1, 1973, this merged with the Detmold district to form the new Lippe district.

The place celebrates its 1000th anniversary in 2014.

The only club in town is the Bruntorf cycling and hiking club.
