history

The first mention of the name Dörpe can be found with the mention of a witness Bartholomeus van der Dörpe in 1393 in the Hamelin document book. It is assumed that this is a resident of the village. The exact origin of the body is not known. The so-called Meierhöfe and, because of the local clay deposits, also pottery rooms existed early on as hereditary farms . From the 16th century, coal mining developed both in the nearby Osterwald and in the Gelbbachtal above Dbodes. It was an important source of income for the local residents. After the abandonment of coal mining in the middle of the 20th century, the Wilhelm Schmull quarry developed from it , which gave many residents a living, especially in the difficult years of the post-war period .

The linden tree on Lindenplatz, Dörpe's landmark

There are several hiking trails in the immediate vicinity of the village, the most of which is the restored historic Dbody miners' path. It is reminiscent of the mining industry on the slopes of Nesselberg and Osterwald and follows the work route of the Dbody to the various quarries. Dörpe is idyllically situated in a brook valley on the south-western slopes of these mountains; together with the Kleiner Deister they form a south-eastern continuation of the Großer Deister . There are horse riding opportunities in town as well as individual holiday homes. A far-reaching panoramic view is offered by the "Three Thick Beeches" on the Bergmannspfad on the edge of the Osterwald. At the edges of the path there are nature and history-related information boards, including the historical cherry tree avenue on the hillside of the Ruhbrink.
