Location of Bredenborn in Marienmünster

Bredenborn is a village in the southwest of the city of Marienmünster in the Höxter district , North Rhine-Westphalia . With 1,456 inhabitants (2015), Bredenborn is the largest district of Marienmünster and therefore larger than the more centrally located administrative center of Vörden . According to the main statute of the city of Marienmünster of February 3, 2005, a local committee consisting of seven members will be formed in Bredenborn. The chairman of the local committee is currently Josef Dreier ( UWG ).

history

The earliest settlement in Bredenborn probably took place in the 7th or 8th century. Bredenborn was first mentioned in 1128 under the name Bredinburne in the founding document of the Marienmünster monastery by Count Widekind I. von Schwalenberg . At the same time, Bishop Bernhard von Paderborn transferred his property in Bredenborn to the monastery. The monastery farm yard could have been near the Borne pond . From 1138 the monastery received the tithe from Bredenborn and the serf farmers had to cultivate the surrounding fields.

Capitals and cities of the Principality of Paderborn until 1802/03 (as of 1789):

During the feuds in the 14th century, Abbot Hermann von Mengersen had Bredenborn Castle built and the village was fortified against robbers and looting troops. As early as 1323 the place was enclosed by a wall with a moat. In turn, Bredenborn was obliged to protect the Marienmünster monastery and to keep it from looting, which is why Bredenborn was granted city rights around 1330 . In 1341 the Paderborn bishop Balduin von Steinfurt took over the rule of Bredenborn, which had been transferred to the monastery 200 years earlier. In 1652 a church was built, which was consecrated to the patron Saint Joseph and Saint Agatha , and Bredenborn became an independent parish. At the time of the Reformation, the monks were called back to the monastery to protect their faith , and the residents of Bredenborn had to attend worship there during this time. This ensured that the Bredenborn residents did not convert to the Lutheran faith .

After 200 years in monastic and 300 in episcopal ownership, Bredenborn was finally administered after 1618 under the rule of the Paderborn cathedral chapter . For a time Bredenborn was taken by the Lutheran barons of Haxthausen . After several years, Bredenborn was returned to the episcopal property. Despite all of this, most of the surrounding land was retained, e.g. B. the woods. At that time, it was customary that villagers were allowed to collect firewood in the surrounding forests, which the Baron von Haxthausen allowed the Bredenborners to do at great expense. Thereupon they "plundered" the forest. After legal proceedings, Bredenborn was only allowed back part of the land. Large parts of the forest still belong to the Baron von Haxthausen today.

Like the neighboring communities, Bredenborn also suffered from billeting and looting during the Thirty Years' War . The place had a church since 1652, next to it a stone office building, a municipal cellar and a school building. In the years from 1672 to 1676 there were plague epidemics and a famine , which was caused by persistent drought in 1684, but which did not affect Bredenborn as much as the surrounding communities. The frequent fire disasters of this time were not as devastating in Bredenborn as they were often in other places. This was possibly due to the Bredenborn Fire Code of 1746 , which stipulated that the fastest citizens were paid bonuses for fighting fires. In the middle of the 18th century Bredenborn had 120 houses.

Burial of the Libori shrine after the festive service on Tuesday

As a result of the secularization in 1802/03, the Paderborn cathedral chapter in Bredenborn lost its properties, and in 1812 the Prussian government ordered the division of the property. In 1814/15 the city with less than 800 inhabitants was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia .

In Bredenborn, the Liborian Brotherhood celebrated the first Liborifest in 1747 . A relic of the patron Liborius (finger) is in a reliquary in the parish church. The Libori Chapel dates from 1812.

The officially organized exclusion of Jews began on September 10, 1935. Mayor Ahleke and seven local representatives decided to ban contact with Jewish fellow citizens. Most of the Jewish residents of Bredenborn did not survive the persecution.

Shortly before the end of World War II , on April 5, 1945, the site was taken by US soldiers from the 83rd US Infantry Division. The German air force company deployed in the place with around 85 soldiers under Captain Konrad Pessler left the place only at the instigation of Mayor Ahleke and Dechant Niehaus, as they drove through the place on an Allied tank, and offered brief resistance in an adjacent forest.

The titular town of Bredenborn was merged with the other twelve municipalities of the Vörden district to the town of Marienmünster with the law on the reorganization of the Höxter district of December 2, 1969 on January 1, 1970 .
