Hövelsenne is a district of the municipality Hövelhof in the Paderborn district , North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany, which until 1974 had to give way almost completely to the expansion of the Senne military training area . The distance from the former Hövelsenner center to the Hövelhofer center was about 5.0 kilometers. The district of Hövelsenne was never a politically independent municipality, but has belonged to the Hövelhof municipality since it was founded in the 17th century.

history

The genesis

Hövelhof around 1805

Hövelsenne was settled by farmers from the Delbrücker Land from 1659 onwards . The farmers first settled along the streams of the Krollbach , Bonebach and Haustenbach in the form of rows, a so-called row village was created . The population at that time belonged entirely to the Catholic Church . In 1800, its own was in Hoevel Senne school , the so-called "Pannkaukenschule" built. The Hövelsenner church was not built until 1923, until then the church in Hövelhof, five to eight kilometers away, had to be visited. The new church was dedicated to St. Joseph was consecrated and was financed almost entirely by donations and built in-house. The Sunday services were celebrated for fifty years until they were dissolved in 1974 by the Fathers of the Salvator College in Klausheide . On Wednesdays the respective Hövelhofer vicars came to the school for church services and religious instruction. In the center of the church and school, later settled small artisans and a grocery store with restaurant at. Otherwise Hövelsenne was a so-called scattered settlement , which was spread over the entire district and had around 800 inhabitants before the dissolution began in 1939.

The slow downfall

As part of the expansion of the Senne military training area , almost the entire Hövelsenne district to the east of Hövelhof had to be cleared from 1939, as had previously happened in Haustenbeck , located further east in the middle of the training area . Including the school from 1800 (1966) and the St. Josefs Church (1974) built in 1923, 135 houses and courtyards had to be cleared.

The first part of the relocation began:

For the approximately 800 Hövelsenner resettlement meant the loss of their traditional home. A resettlement commission of the Imperial Resettlement Society offered them u. a. Farms far away from home. Anyone who could not make up their minds after several offers or did not agree with the price was forcibly relocated. This happened particularly in the east of Hövelsenne, because there was a need to quickly create lines of fire.

So 20 families moved to Mecklenburg, six to the Rhineland, four to the Delbrücker Land, six to the Münsterland, seven to Lippe, two to Heddinghausen, four to Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock and some a. a. to Bielefeld, Fulda, Lipperode, Sennestadt, Oerlinghausen; but 56 families, mostly the smaller part-time jobs, were able to acquire a building plot in Hövelhof. The resettlement of the residents came to a standstill due to the progression of the Second World War and the associated housing shortage in 1942 and could no longer be completed. At this point in time, the resettlement was only about half complete, with around 65 owners sold, so that a large part of the residents in Hövelsenne could temporarily stay. Two families from Haustenbeck, located in the middle of the military training area, who had not found a new apartment by then, were quartered in houses that had already been vacated in Hövelsenne in 1939. After the end of the Second World War, some 50 houses that were still habitable but vacant, including those who were temporarily displaced from the East and bombed out, found a new home in Hövelsenne, with two to three families often being housed in a small space in one building.

The long uncertainty

After West Germany became a democratic state in 1949, nobody in Hövelsenne believed that the village would be evacuated. In 1951, a country school home for the Paderborn grammar school Theodorianum was even built on a former farm on the upper Krollbach , which was later expanded to include a new building. Likewise, after 1950 the St. Josefs Church and the elementary school (Pannkaukenschaule) were completely renovated.

From 1959, however, plans were made to finally evacuate the village and to define the boundaries of the military training area. In Hövelsenne it was hoped that the so-called row of fountains near the Mittweg would be determined as the western border of the military training area. Then most of the village could have continued to exist. But the border that was planned during wartime should be finally determined, its border on Stukenbrock area, seen from Mittweg in a westerly direction along the Furlbach to the former B 68 , this in a southerly direction to about today's A 33 junction No. 23 Stukenbrock - Following Senne , from there further in a south-easterly direction in a line, roughly today's A 33 to Sennestraße and from there further along the Lippspringer Postweg to Mergelweg, in order to get back to today's space boundary (Barzel line) to bump. This led to a great protest from the Hövelsenner as well as the Stukenbrock-Senner residents, who were also affected. The Hövelsenner and Stukebrock-Senner engaged a lawyer. Each family contributed to the costs in order to protest against the contracts concluded during the Nazi era. Finally, on July 20, 1960, the then Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss came to negotiate with the local member of the Bundestag Rainer Barzel and the Detmold District President Gustav Galle the then Paderborn member of the Bundestag Rainer Barzel, located about one kilometer west of Mittweg / the row of fountains, along the western section of today's Panzerringstrasse, as the western border. Almost all of the neighboring village of Stukenbrock-Senne to the north-west, as well as the Soviet cemetery of honor and the nearby Ems springs, lay outside of the area, while Hövelsenne was almost entirely within the military training area.

The final end

The second part of the resettlement began:

The residents of Hövelsenne and their buildings, which were already expropriated between 1939 and 1942, but could initially stay in their former, now state-owned houses due to a lack of other accommodation, were given notice in 1962 and had to vacate the houses. Contracts that were concluded during the National Socialist era but no longer concluded were declared legal. The owners were compensated according to the value established in 1939. Properties that had not yet been sold in 1939 were reimbursed at their current value from 1962 onwards. The Hövelsenner Volksschule ( Pannkaukenschaule ) was closed at Easter 1966, the 27 remaining students were then taught in the Hövelhofer Mühlenschule. In 1973, at a time when Hövelsenne was almost completely cleared, the 50th anniversary of St. Joseph's Church was celebrated in Hövelsenne. The last family left Hövelsenne at the beginning of 1974. On November 3, 1974, another Hubertus mass was celebrated in St. Joseph's Church with great sympathy .

Then the shooting range F was built in the Hövelsenne area. On September 11, 1985, the Hövelsenne church, which had meanwhile been shot into ruins, was blown up.

Hövelsenne today

Today there is only a small inhabited area, around 20% of the former Hövelsenner district outside the military training area. This is where, among other things, the Heidschnuckenschäferei of the Biological Station District Paderborn-Senne are located. In the former Menning house (No. 68) is the site support center of the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks with its building yard. Right next door is the forester's house of the Hövelsenne forest district, which is subordinate to the Bad Lippspringe branch of the Rhein-Weser Federal Forestry Department in Münster of the Federal Forests division of the Federal Agency for Real Estate. On the right side of Sennestrasse there is a small chapel directly in front of the border to the military training area, which will be discussed in more detail in the next section. Within the military training area in the Hövelsenne area there are only a few remains of the wall here and there. There is a memorial stone where the church once stood. The former farmsteads are still clearly recognizable due to the oaks standing there, as long as they are not in the line of fire. Access there on your own is not permitted. However, several times a year the aforementioned Biological Station Kreis Paderborn-Senne e. V. from the well-known Heidschnuckenschäferei (Heidschnuckenschäferei) onwards, guided tours on foot and by bike to the military training area are offered, which usually also lead through the Hövelsenne area. In addition, there is now a parking lot with toilet named after the former village of Hövelsenne in both directions on the A33 in Moosheide on Hövelhofer municipality . These are to be expanded into full service areas later. In addition, there is a small exhibition about Hövelsenne in the Heimatzentrum OWL in Hövelhof, in which the history of Hövelsenne can be read and old photos and some furnishings from the church are on display.

future

If everything goes well, five new houses can soon be built on Sennestrasse in the Hövelsenner district, in the vicinity of the new chapel and the Heidschnuckenschäferei. This would create a small town center again.

Hövelsenner chapel

The newly built Hövelsenner Chapel, also known as St. Joseph's Chapel , is located about 1.6 kilometers "as the crow flies, about 1.3 kilometers", west of the location of the former St. Joseph's Church, which was in the former center of Hövelsenne, away. This chapel was rebuilt in 2014/15 after a long planning and location search at the intersection of Sennestraße / Panzerringstraße, directly on the border to the military training area. In order to manage the whole thing, the Hövelsenner Kapelle eV association was founded in 2012. Its job is to take care of the construction, financing and subsequent maintenance of the St. Josef Chapel. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on St. Joseph's Day, March 19, 2014. The actual construction work began in May 2014. The topping-out ceremony was celebrated on September 20, 2014. In addition to the Hövelhof mayor Michael Berens, the Deputy District Administrator of the Paderborn district, Wolfgang Weigel, and the local MEP Elmar Brok also took part in the ceremony. The official opening of the Hövelsenner chapel was celebrated on July 11th, 2015 with a church service on the outside area of the chapel. After the holy mass, the chapel was opened, with the Paderborn District Administrator Manfred Müller and the Hövelhofer Mayor Michael Berens also giving speeches. The new Hövelsenner chapel is modeled on a scale of 1 to 3 of the former St. Joseph's Church, which was described in more detail above. This means that the Hövelsenner chapel is only about a third as big as the former Hövelsenner St. Josefs church, which had to be abandoned in 1974, was once. This chapel will be a place of remembrance and remembrance, but no church events such as B. Services take place. In the summer months, from April to October, civil weddings can take place in the chapel once a month on the second Saturday . On the way in front of the chapel there are stones with the names and house numbers of the former residents of Hövelsenne. The chapel windows, designed by Atelier Lönne + Neumann, Paderborn, also contain original glasses from the former St. Joseph's Church. These partially preserved medallions were detached from the incomplete background glass, cleaned, restored and integrated into the conceptual program of a new clear protective glazing as front glazing. For the sixth medallion, fragments were linked with the silhouette of a no (longer) known figure. The construction of the chapel, like the construction of the St. Joseph's Church in 1923, was carried out entirely in-house, and was financed by donations.
