Most of it is in the northern part of Dielingen ; The lower parts of the eastern flank of the east crest of Klei belong to that of the eastern Haldem and those of the common southern flank of both main crests belong to that of the south-western drone . The three localities are parts of the municipality of Stemwede . The municipality of Stemshorn is located a little further in the northeast, beyond Dielingen, in the neighboring district of Diepholz in Lower Saxony .

Natural allocation

The Dielinger Klei belongs to the natural area main unit group Dümmer-Geestniederung (No. 58), in the main unit Rahden-Diepenauer Geest (582) and in the sub-unit Stemmer Heights (582.0) to the natural area Wehdemer Vorland (582.02).

Surveys

The Dielinger Klei rises up to 50 m from the area and, with its western tip, is a maximum of 91.8  m high; near the summit there is a 91.7  m high point on the German basic map . Its east crest, called Klei , is 88.3  m high. Bran foothills are mostly only about 5 m above the surrounding area. In addition to its main knolls, there are a few foothills.

Flowing waters

There are no major rivers on or around Dielinger Klei ; however, the landscape is drained by numerous artificially created rivers. The Hunte flows past about 4 km to the west and then flows into the Dümmer Dümmer, which is about 6 km north-northwest of the elevation .

Landscape image and protection

The two-headed Dielinger Klei has an approximately oval shape. It is about 1000 m wide in the north-south direction and about twice as long in the east-west direction; with the south-west foothills, which extend into the town of Drone and the southern field , the north-south (west) extension is a maximum of 2000 m. Most of the survey is used for agriculture. There is a small biotope on the southern slope , and the northern slope is forested with “Krusen Busch” and “Wichhausen Busch”. To the east the landscape slopes down to the village of Haldem to the main road, and from there the terrain rises to the Stemweder Berg . To the north it falls into the eponymous place Dielingen .

Worth seeing and cultural

On the lower part of the northern slope of the Dielinger Klei in Dielingen there are, among other things, the Dielinger cemetery and the Protestant church of St. Marien zu Dielingen . The current structure was built around 1225; the oldest previous building dates from around 800 and is therefore about as old as the first cathedrals in Cologne , Paderborn , Osnabrück and Minden . Dielingen thus became one of the oldest parishes in pagan Saxony, conquered by Charlemagne. In the church there is a window from around 1900, which shows "Jesus in the clothes". The Meyerhof of the Meyer zu Wichhausen family, which was one of the first farms in Haldem, is located in the Wichhausen Busch forest on the eastern flank of Klei . The Drohner Friedhof is located on the south-south-west slope of the south-western foothills.

Opportunities for viewing

Up until the First World War there was a wooden observation tower on the Klei , from which one had a very good overview of the surroundings when the visibility was good. Although the tower has been demolished, there are often good prospects when the visibility is right; one sees the Dümmer , the Stemweder Berg , the Dammer Berge , the Ankumer Höhe , the Wiehengebirge and the Porta Westfalica with the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Monument at the Porta Westfalica and the parts of the district Minden-Lübbecke.

legend

There is a legend about the origin of the Dielinger Kleis: A giant came on his long wandering through what is now Stemwede and had to rest because his feet hurt. He took off his shoes and dumped the sand in them so that he could walk better. This is how the survey came about.
