history

Daseburg has belonged to the secular rule of the German diocese Paderborn , originally in the duchy of Saxony , since it was founded . From the 14th century, the territory of the prince-bishopric of Paderborn ( Hochstift ) was formed in the Holy Roman Empire , and from the 16th century it became part of the Lower Rhine-Westphalian Empire . In 1802/03 the bishopric was occupied by the Kingdom of Prussia . In Napoleonic times the place was part of the Kingdom of Westphalia . From 1815 Daseburg finally belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia, from 1871 it was part of the German Empire . From 1945 to 1949 Daseburg was part of the British occupation zone , from 1946 state-ruled by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and from 1949 also by the Federal Republic of Germany .

Early history and the Middle Ages

Archaeological finds show that people lived in the area of ​​today's Daseburg as early as the Stone Age. The first documentary mention of the place name falls in the 9th century and can be found in the Corveyer traditions .

In 822 the Corvey Abbey was relocated to the Weser . In the years and decades that followed, the monastery grew rapidly through donations and property that wealthy monks brought with them when they entered.

Later, records were made of the real estate of Corvey, which briefly state the location of the property and often also the name of the founder, the witnesses of the transfer and the reason for the donation. These records are now known as "Corveyer Traditions".

The first mention of Daseburg reads after the abbreviations are dissolved: “Tradidit Brunwardus pro filio suo mansum 1 cum familia in Desburg. Testes: Balding, Haoldus. ”Loosely translated:“ Brunwardus gave a manse in Daseburg with the family for his son's sake. Witnesses: Balding, Haoldus. ”The“ Manse ”is not an area specification in the true sense. The term rather describes the size of an area that was necessary for the production of food for an average farming family. The average size can be assumed to be around 30 acres. Brunwardus not only "donated" the agricultural land to the monastery, but also the people who worked this farm.

The donation was certainly made between 826 and 876, as this note is in the oldest series of the "Corveyer Traditions". The exact year cannot be determined because no life data have been recorded for the named persons and the history of the transmission of the Corveyer records is very complicated.

In 1070 a castle was mentioned in a document on the Desenberg . A church was mentioned in a document in 1231, but the parish and church are much older. Lütkendaseburg was mentioned in a document in the middle of the 13th century, and the small settlement later fell into desolation. The von Spiegel family has been traceable on the Desenberg since 1256.

Modern times

In 1614 two farmers from Daseburg and in 1615 the whole village sued the Lords of Spiegel for inadmissible demands for service. In 1673 a school was mentioned in the pastor's records. In 1680, all residents of the Desenberg estate complained to the prince-bishop about the increase in services and taxes by those of Spiegel. In 1703 the gentlemen von Spiegel demanded the reinstatement in the old status with regard to the services and taxes from "their" villages.

In 1729 a fire destroyed 88 of 123 houses. In 1755 the von Spiegel family donated a rifle chain. 1760/61, in the Seven Years' War 163 children and adults die of malnutrition and typhoid fever . In 1818 the village had 115 habitable houses. The Jewish cemetery was laid out in 1840; 36 Jews live in Daseburg. In 1841 Daseburg had 1075 inhabitants.

The potato disease, which had been rampant for years, and a poor grain harvest caused a famine in 1847. In 1854 a new school house was built and in 1905 the first water pipe was built. In 1920 electric light came to Daseburg. In 1928 the village had 1305 inhabitants.

With 59 farms and the goods, Daseburg was still heavily influenced by agriculture in 1955. As a result of the local reorganization, Daseburg becomes part of the city of Warburg on January 1, 1975.
