geography

Geographical location

Dalheim is located in Westphalia on the Paderborn plateau in the southwest part of the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge nature park, southwest of the Lichtenau core town. It is located at the Altenau tributary Piepenbach .

Neighborhoods

Starting in the southwest, Dalheim is bordered clockwise by the Elisenhof district of Bad Wünnenberg , the Lichtenau districts of Atteln , Husen and Blankenrode . In the south, the Meerhof district of the city of Marsberg in the Hochsauerlandkreis also borders the Paderborn district .

climate

Like Ostwestfalen-Lippe, Dalheim belongs to the oceanic climatic area of ​​northwest Germany , to which it owes its low temperature contrasts and mild winters. However, continental influences are already at work . The temperature in summer is higher and the nights are cooler than in closer proximity to the coast. The location on the edge of the Egge Mountains causes a submontane climate of the low mountain range with cooler temperatures and higher precipitation than in other locations in the district.

history

General

On August 10, 1952, the Dalheim community was formed by hiving off the previous Dalheim-Blankenrode community .

Before January 1, 1975, the then municipality of Dalheim belonged to the Atteln district in the Büren district . When the Sauerland / Paderborn Act came into force on this day, most of the municipalities of the Atteln Office and thus also Dalheim were merged with the municipalities of the Lichtenau Office to form the new city of Lichtenau (Westphalia) and came with this to the Paderborn district. The city of Lichtenau is the legal successor to the dissolved office of Atteln and the municipality of Dalheim. Small areas of Dalheim were reclassified to Marsberg and Wünnenberg .

Flood

After the villages below Dalheim an der Altenau were often affected by floods - especially in 1965 - the flood retention basin Husen-Dalheim (1982-1984) was built on the Altenau Oberlauf between Dalheim and Husen at the confluence of the Piepenbach in Altenau .

politics

The mayor of Dalheim is Meinolf Kaup.
