The harrow , also called Preußisch Oldendorfer Berg or Oldendorfer Berge , is one to 220.2 m above sea level. NHN high and about 7 km long side ridge of the Wiehengebirge and namesake for the Eggetal in the district of Osnabrück ( Lower Saxony ) and the district of Minden-Lübbecke ( North Rhine-Westphalia ); around two thirds of the harrow belong to Westphalia .
In addition to the name Egge for the entire ridge, the name Egge also bears the name of Egge in some official maps at a height of 198 m , which lies within the ridge north of Eininghausen . In addition, the section between Neue Mühle and Horst Höhe in the main Wiehengebirge ridge is called The Egge .
geography
location
The harrow is located in the TERRA.vita nature and geopark about 2 to 4 km north of the main ridge of the Wiehengebirge, which runs in a west-east direction. It spreads between the Lower Saxony localities of Lintorf in the northwest and Barkhausen in the west-southwest, two districts of Bad Essen , as well as the core of the North Rhine-Westphalian town of Preußisch Oldendorf in the north, Bad Holzhausen in the east and the Prussian Oldendorfer district of Börninghausen with Gut Figenburg in the south .
The border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony divides the ridge - along with the mountain pass breakthrough through which the route of Prussian Oldendorf into Eggetal and after Bruchmühlen leads.
Natural allocation
The Egge and Eggetal form the sub-unit Oldendorfer Berge (532.1) in the natural spatial main unit group Lower Weserbergland (No. 53) and in the main unit Wiehengebirge (532 ), which connects to the subunit Eastern Wiehengebirge (532.0) to the north . To the west via north to northeast the landscape falls into the subunit Wittlager Lößvorland (533.0) belonging to the western Lübbecker Loessland ; to the east it passes over into the subunit Lübbecker Loesshang (533.2) belonging to the central Lübbecker Loessland ; both sub-units are part of the main unit Lübbecker Loessland (533).
Surveys
The highest point of the Egge is in the west of the ridge on a nameless elevation ( 220.2 m ) located 520 m north-northwest of the Bad Essen district Büscherheide near the parcel of Langer Kamp , which is partially forested and used for agriculture. The Schwarze Brink is located 1.1 km northwest of it, 213 m . To the northwest of Eininghausen is a 202.8 m high elevation with the weighing tower . To the north of this village and east-southeast of the Geisberg ( 200.6 m ) lies a summit, also called Egge , with a height of 198 m .
In the southeast of the ridge lies the Limberg ( 190.1 m ) with the Limberg castle ruins . The Balkenkamp , a deforested plateau, spreads west-northwest of it . In the east of the ridge, the Offelter Berg rises 176.2 m and to the northwest of it the Brümmel rises 165 m . In Lintorf located in the northwest of the Höhenzugs the Steinbrink ( 142.5 m ) and south-southwest of Prussian Oldendorf in northern Höhenzugs the left Berg ( left ; 122.5 m ), to which a disused and as paläologisches ground monument designated quarry located.

Waters
The Great Dieck River rises in the Egge . On the one hand, the area drains through the Mühlenbach, the Großer Dieckfluss and the Offelter Bach, among others into the Große Aue . The west of the ridge, for example, drains through the Glanebach into the Hunte . The Balkenkamp fire extinguishing pond is not far from the Limberg .

Protected areas
Parts of the landscape protection area (LSG) Wiehengebirge and Nördliches Osnabrücker Hügelland ( CDDA -Nr. 390425; designated 2009; 288.348 km²) and in the entire North Rhine-Westphalian area those of the LSG Wiehengebirge, Wesergebirge (CDDA- No. 555560799; 1971; 49.1049 km²). The Limberg and Offelter Berg nature reserve (CDDA no. 82095; 1935; 1.8584 km²) and the Fauna-Flora-Habitat- Area Limberg (FFH no. 3717-301; 1.727 km²) lie in the east to south-east of the Westphalian region . .
Landscape image
The harrow is mostly forested on the steep north slope; the forest area covers around 1300 hectares. While in the north the tree line reaches down to a height of 70 m in some cases , the southern slope with its favorable, flat incline enables it to be used as cultivated land up to an average height of 170 m , but sometimes also above 170 m .
The elevations of the Egge, like almost all in the Wiehen Mountains, have an elongated ridge . These are also called harrows. These harrows are only separated from the adjoining peaks by dorers . The clearly formed combs could have got their name from the earlier common name harrow for selvedge , the long edge of the linen. In the harrows the hard rock ( Malm ) emerges, which was exploited in quarries.
This division of another parallel, weaker or disturbed harrow with Hartegge and the central Nordegge of lower altitude, enabled drainage to the north for the 1 km wide valley between it and the southern higher Egge: the Landwehrbach from above Dahlinghausen and the Great Dieck River with its flowing streams. The latter formed the Oldendorfer Schweiz, the former the smaller Dahlinghauser Schweiz, as the wooded area could be called. Both Switzerland are connected by a valley reaching 121 m above sea level - a small wooded equivalent of the Eggetal with a large variety of networked hiking trails in this area of the Oldendorfer Vorhöhen .
Mining
Coal mining was carried out in the Egge near Lintorf on the Oldendorfer Egge . “It was created for patriotic reasons under the leadership of Justus Möser . Around 1790 16,000 ringlets = 860 tons were brought to light annually , which was enough for the needs of the nearby rural area. At the beginning of the 19th century, the company ceased and was not resumed due to the remote location. "
From 1791 this gave rise to initially unsuccessful attempts at prospecting on the Prussian side of the Landwehrbach border brook. It was not until 1809 and with sustained success in 1840 that a profitable seam was found, so that over 50 workers were employed at the “Amalia” mine. The coal was welcomed by the operators of lime kilns in the area. Eisenstein was also funded. The subsequent mines Rudolph and Rudolph II were shut down in 1897 and new attempts finally failed in the years 1916 to 1921.
Transport, hiking and excursion destinations
The pass in the Egge at 211.1 m height, over which the county road 79 leads between Preußisch Oldendorf in the north past Büscherheide to Eininghausen in the south, lies in an artificially created drought that was carved 9 m deep into the rock. Road and drought were carried out as emergency work in the years 1924 to 1927, memorial plaque . This road connection, which replaces the historic Eininghauser stalemate , is called Eininghauser Weg and leads through Oldendorfer Switzerland, illustrates the steep ascent shortly before the level of the Egge. From the Bad Holzhausener hamlet of Landwehr, which lies between Preußisch Oldendorf and Bad Holzhausen on the federal highway 65 , a narrow road leads southwest to Börninghausen via the Balkenkamp plateau west-northwest of the Limberg .
The Egge's excursion destinations include the Limberg castle ruins on the Limberg and Wiehenturm , a lookout tower near the state border.
