history

In a document from 1483 Eschenbruch is first mentioned as "tom Esche", while in 1531 it is called "Eßbrok". Hiddensen is mentioned in a document in 1350 when Count Heinrich VIII von Schwalenberg sold the town to the sovereigns of Lippe . From archaeological finds it is known that the area was inhabited as early as the Middle Ages. Employees of the Detmold State Museum found skeletal remains of children and adults from the 10th to 14th centuries in the old cemetery in Hiddensen, who had been buried in graves made of stone slabs.

In 1423 Hiddensen was abandoned and referred to as a desert before the place was repopulated in 1519. In the Thirty Years War (1618–1648) the population suffered looting, destruction and a devastating plague epidemic . After another change of ownership, the villages in what is now Eschenbruch belonged to the Principality of Lippe from 1839 .

On April 1, 1922, Eschenbruch ceded parts of the area to the new municipality of Siekholz .

On January 1, 1970 Eschenbruch was incorporated into the city of Blomberg.
