Grevenhagen is a district of the East Westphalian town of Steinheim in the Höxter district with 234 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2014), Grevenhagen also includes the small, 15-inhabitant farming community Hohenbreden . Grevenhagen was a historic Lippe exclave in the prince-bishopric of Paderborn . Even during the Prussian rule in the bishopric , the place remained near Lippe.
geography
Grevenhagen is located in a valley in the eastern Egge Mountains . The Fischbach rises to the west of the village and flows into the Emmer at Himmighausen . Due to its remoteness and its position as a Lippe exclave in the Paderborn , Westphalian and Prussian areas, the town's transport links were always inadequate. It was not until the end of the 19th century that a paved path was laid out into the village. A modern road was only laid out from Erpentrup to Grevenhagen around 1980 .
history

The Paderborn Prince-Bishop Simon III. , gives his nephew Simon zu Lippe a piece of forest on the eastern slope of the Egge Mountains for his baptism in Detmold Castle . The place is mentioned for the first time in 1535 in a document of the Lippe treasure register. The first significant settlement in the forest of the Egge Mountains was probably created in the 16th century by Hessian glassmakers. But forms of settlement are likely to exist for centuries before. The name Grevenhagen probably suggests that it belongs to a Countess Lippe canton .
The small town without a parish had a special position for a long time. He always belonged to the diocese of the spiritual diocese of Paderborn. Secular rule was predominantly exercised by the Count of Lippe, who in the age of confessionalization, in contrast to the population, belonged to the Reformed faith. The village belonged to the Holy Roman Empire like Lippe and the surrounding spiritual territory of the Prince Diocese of Paderborn ( Hochstift ) and was part of the Lower Rhine-Westphalian Empire from the 16th century .
In the early modern period, Grevenhagen was initially part of the Lippisch-Paderborn Velvet Schwalenberg. The Lippe side had extensive free, go and wood delivery rights. On March 15, 1607, the Paderborn Prince-Bishop and Count Simon VI met. zur Lippe an agreement on the Steinheim Freivogtei . Except for Grevenhagen and Hohenbreden , the area was finally ceded to Paderborn Abbey. In turn, the pin was Bart Hausen and Mardenbruch .
The disputed area even led to an armed conflict in 1657, in which Lippe riflemen had to defend the village against attackers from Paderborn. In July 1658, the area in Lippspringe was finally regulated in a contract between Lippe and Paderborn until the bishopric was dissolved. The Paderborn prince-bishop only received spiritual jurisdiction over the area. It remained a Catholic area in the Lippe region, one of the many exceptions to the principle of cuius regio, eius religio in the Holy Roman Empire. The believers always went to the parish in Sandebeck until 1950 .
In 1802/03 the surrounding area was occupied by the Kingdom of Prussia . Grevenhagen now remained with the Principality of Lippe with all rights. The inhabitants had asked the Lippe princess for this. From 1871 Grevenhagen was part of the German Empire . From 1945 to 1949 the community was part of the British zone of occupation . From 1946 it was under the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and from 1949 also under the Federal Republic of Germany . In 1947 the local council decided to stay with Lippe. It was not until January 1, 1970 that the Lippe exclave of the city of Steinheim and thus the district of Höxter was added. To compensate, the Lippe district received Kempenfeldrom . This ended the 500-year special position of Grevenhagen.
After long efforts, the church of St. John could not be built until 1950 to 1951. It was inaugurated by Auxiliary Bishop Augustinus Philipp Baumann .
