Erwitzen is one of ten districts of the city of Nieheim and the southernmost district of the East Westphalian city ​​in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany . The city belongs to the Höxter district .

When viewed clockwise from the north, the Nieheim districts of Nieheim (core town) and Holzhausen , the Brakel district of Hinnenburg and the Bad Driburg district of Pömbsen border on Erwitzen .

The place is half enclosed by the forest.

history

In the first half of the 13th century, Erwitzen was often mentioned as Eremwordessen, Ermwordessen, Ernwordessen, Erwersen and Erworsen in connection with the ancestral seat of the knight family of Ermwordessen, which died out at the end of the 15th century. After secularization around 1820, the property came into the possession of the von der Borch family in Holzhausen with the Bosenhof in Pömbsen .

Erwitzen already had a chapel in the 13th century and belonged to the parish in Pömbsen. In a directory from the 15th century, the parish of Erwitzen is shown under the archdeaconate of Steinheim ; when it was re-parish in Pömbsen is unknown today.

On December 31, 1967 the population of Erwitzen was 192. Today (as of December 31, 2018) Erwitzen has 120 inhabitants.

Incorporations

Up to and including 1969, Erwitzen was an official municipality in the Nieheim district of what was then the Höxter district . On January 1, 1970, it was merged with the former city of Nieheim and the other municipalities of the Nieheim office to form the new city of Nieheim, based on Section 6 of the law on the reorganization of the Höxter district of December 2, 1969. The new town of Nieheim is the legal successor to the community and the dissolved office. On January 1, 1975, the Sauerland / Paderborn Act came into force, merging the previous Höxter district with the previous Warburg district to form today's Höxter district.

Religions

The majority of the population of Erwitzens is Catholic , as in the entire area of ​​the former Hochstift Paderborn and belongs to the chapel community of Sankt Agatha Erwitzen within the parish of Sankt Johannes Baptist Holzhausen . The Catholic parishes of Nieheim together form the pastoral association “Nieheimer Land” in the Archdiocese of Paderborn , which until June 30, 2006 belongs to the deanery Brakel-Steinheim of the pastoral care region Hochstift. Since July 1, 2006 - with the dissolution of the pastoral care regions and the merging of the deaneries into larger units in the archbishopric - these communities have been part of the newly created Höxter deanery.

Since the parish itself no longer has its own pastor, it is looked after by the parish of Sankt Nikolaus Nieheim. Since the vicar position of the parish of Nieheim was canceled in the autumn of 2001, church services can no longer be celebrated on Sundays in the chapel parish of Erwitzen.

For the Protestant Christians there is the Protestant parish Marienmünster-Nieheim in the Paderborn parish of the Evangelical Church of Westphalia . House of God is the neo-Gothic cruciform church in Nieheim.

Culture and sights

The center of the village is the St. Agatha chapel built on a small hill. After the previous church was destroyed in the Thirty Years War , the population was only able to collect money for a new church at the end of the 19th century, which was then built in 1901/1902.

The most important son of the town is the poet Peter Hille , born on September 11, 1854 , in whose birthplace the Peter Hille Society is based. The Hille House is set up as a “literary memorial and meeting place”.
