history
Middle Ages and Early Modern Times
In 1018 a village "Garamatti" was mentioned in the register of Count Dodiko's estates . After Dodikos death his property fell to the bishop of Paderborn , who with it counts and ministerial families, etc. a. that of Pappenheim - Canstein , von Spiegel - Borlinghausen , von Oer and von Mengersen enfeoffed. In addition to these, Heerse Abbey and Wormeln Monastery owned goods and rights here.
The Romanesque details on the tower of the parish church of St. Nicholas show that Germete had its own church as early as 1200, although Germete does not appear in the documents as a parish until 1450. It is assumed that it was a branch church of the village Osdadighusen (also Osdagessen or Audaxen) mentioned in 862 and which has disappeared in modern times, which was about 1.5 km to the south-west.
In 1464 Gherdt Spegell to dem Desenberg bequeathed the Dominican monastery to Warburg an annual donation from his free court (the so-called mirror courtyards ) in exchange for an annual memoria . The Warburg Dominicans also looked after the community later, from 1606 to 1671 and in the 18th and 19th centuries until 1825.
In 1780, 28 houses were destroyed by a major fire near the church. Then the nave of the Nikolauskirche was renewed as a baroque hall church and the tower was raised by a slated half-timbered floor.
19th century
Prussian troops moved into the Hochstift Paderborn in August 1802 in anticipation of the decisions of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . From 1807 to 1813 Germete belonged to the Kingdom of Westphalia or to the Canton Volkmarsen in the Cassel district of the Fulda department . After the Congress of Vienna , Germete fell back to Prussia in 1815 and belonged to the newly established Prussian province of Westphalia . Germete was assigned to the Warburg district, newly founded in 1816, with the district town of Warburg and the Warburg-Land department in the administrative district of Minden . From 1871 Germete was part of the German Empire .
In 1803 the community became independent through secularization and the Prussian reforms and in 1811 already had 511 inhabitants.
Due to its location in the valley of the Diemel, which was still unregulated at the time, the village was inundated several times by floods, which had a particularly devastating effect in 1890 and 1909. In 1891, the construction of dams and straightening the course of the river began.
20th century
Since 1926, House Germete has been the mother house of the sister community "Serviam - Herz-Jesu-Institut - Sisters of Germete" founded by Wilhelm Meyer .
On January 1, 1975, Germete became a district of Warburg when the Sauerland / Paderborn law came into force .
Germete won silver medals in the North Rhine-Westphalian state competition in 1979, 1989 and 1983. Our village should become more beautiful - our village has a future .
Germete as a health resort
In 1679 the abbot Stephan Overgaer from the Hardehausen monastery stated that “Germete has a sourling gush out of the earth, which is an excellent remedy for many ailments of the abdomen”.
In 1857 a spring cooperative was founded to use the mineral water. The Siller Spring was discovered through systematic drilling in 1889 , the Antonius Spring in 1904 and finally the Francis Spring in 1906 .
After the Franziskusquelle had been declared by the Prussian Minister for People's Welfare as "non-profit within the meaning of the law" in 1924, the first spa guests appeared in Germete in 1926 and drank the medicinal water twice a day, which was especially recommended for those with kidney, bladder and biliary tract illnesses .
After the Second World War , the advertising activity was intensified, among other things by the establishment of the tourist association in 1950 and inns and pensions were expanded. In 1953 there were already 1,530 overnight stays per year. In 1965 the "Badbetriebs-GmbH Germete" was founded by the municipality, the Warburg office and the Warburg district in order to develop Germete into a health resort. With state support, farms were outsourced, water bodies were piped and roads were expanded, which in part lost the village appearance. The baroque nave was demolished and replaced by a larger new building. A small spa park was created on the outskirts. In 1972 the Kurmittelhaus built in the Kurpark was moved into. It was expanded in 1982 with a second construction phase with an exercise pool and sauna. In 1985 Germete was finally recognized by the state as a climatic health resort. The number of overnight stays was 20,000.
