history

Branch of the city administration with a district library

In the Vita Waltgeri the name mons Durinberc appears, in the 12th century also Thornbergen and 1241 Thorenberg .

The name Dornberg is traced back to the Germanic god Thor , meaning mountain of the god Thor. In the Middle Ages this connection became clear in different spellings. In addition to the above, the names Thornberg , Thornbergon and Thornberge are documented.

The name of the city district was taken over from the former Dornberg office, which existed until 1972 and, with the exception of Schröttinghausen, included today's Dornberg districts. Since the Middle Ages the Dornberg parish has formed the parish of Dornberg, the parish of which is today's district of Kirchdornberg.

As part of the municipal reorganization of the Bielefeld area , the municipalities of Babenhausen, Großdornberg, Hoberge-Uerentrup, Kirchdornberg and Niederdornberg-Deppendorf, which belong to the Dornberg district of the Bielefeld district , and most of the Schröttinghausen municipality of the Halle (Westphalia) district became the city of Bielefeld incorporated and assigned to the Dornberg district. The Wolfskuhle, Wellensiek and Babenhausen-Ost areas , which had been incorporated into Bielefeld as early as 1930 , were also taken over from the old town of Bielefeld .

The Dornberg district does not have its own district office. The district administrative tasks are performed by the Bielefeld city administration. A branch of the Bielefeld Citizens' Registration Office is located in Großdornberg at Wertherstrasse 436.
