The district Detmold-Nord was created in 1970 as part of the regional reform, when the core city of Detmold was divided into Detmold-Nord and Detmold-Süd. The neighboring districts of Detmold are Detmold-Süd , Heidenoldendorf , Jerxen-Orbke , Klüt , Hakedahl , Vahlhausen , Diestelbruch and Spork-Eichholz in a clockwise direction .

The new Hohenloh district is located in Detmold-Nord , and the air base is located in this area . The airfield, about 1.5 km from the city center, opened in 1934 and was used by the German Air Force during World War II . In 1945 it served as a supply base for the Americans for a short time and during the Cold War the garrison of the 20th British Armored Brigade of the British Army of the Rhine was stationed here, which converted the airfield, now known as Hobart Barracks , into a heliport.

In July 1995 the British left their garrison in Detmold and the airfield. The civil use of the former military property took place on the basis of a contract signed in August 1999 between the Federal Property Administration and the city of Detmold. As a first measure, new roads were built that enabled a direct connection from Herberhausen to the city center without having to drive around the area. Some of the old buildings and hangars are now used commercially. In addition, schools were established: the 13th Primary School, the British Primary School, the Christian Secondary School, the School for Educational Aid and a Kindergarten. The community psychiatric center is responsible for the basic psychiatric care of the Lippe district. The listed buildings along Richthofenstraße are intended for use by service companies, retailers and as living space.

The 11.8 km² core city has 29,694 inhabitants (as of August 2006). The local mayor of the Detmold-Nord district is Werner Meise ( SPD ), the representatives in the city ​​council are currently Helmut Giebe, Ralf Uthe, Friedrich Uthe and Werner Meise (all SPD).
