history

The first mentions of the place can be found around 1000 in the land records of the Werden monastery ; Hozo, Tiazo, Meinzo and Abbi are mentioned as taxpayers for a manor house in Bodberge. In a document from 1199 the place is mentioned as ecclesia Budberge and 1200 in the documents of a monastery on the Ruhr as Herrenhof zu Bodberg (also Curtis in Botberg). Mathilde von Altena, the wife of Count Arnold von Altena, owned a farm here. The family of the knight Goswin von Budberg was named after the place in 1246. In 1278 the place is called Butberg. Count Dietrich von Limburg donated the Budberg farm to the Fröndenberg monastery in 1284 . The Borg House is a historically significant building, and the St. Michael Chapel is also characteristic of the town . In 1370 the family of the Barons von Budberg , which later expanded mainly in the Baltic States, began here in a document.

On July 1, 1969, Budberg was incorporated into Werl.

legend

Budberg is mentioned in the old legend of the battle of the birch tree. In a brochure printed in Cologne in 1701 it was written: This terrible meeting will begin at the Birkenwäldchen near Budberg ... (Friedrich zur Bonsen: The Battle of the Birkenbaum, 1940). According to other sources, it should have taken place in 1545 (celestial phenomenon?).
