Heepen is the name of a district in the east of the independent city ​​of Bielefeld in North Rhine-Westphalia and the name of the largest district in this district. Until 1972 Heepen was an independent municipality in the Bielefeld district and the main town of the former Heepen office .

geography

Geographical location

The district of Heepen is located in the Ravensberg hill country and thus in the catchment area of ​​the Weser . Most of the city district is drained by the wind drift , whose source streams arise in Oerlinghausen . To the north-east of the center of Heepen, the wind drift picks up the Lutter coming from the Bielefelder Pass . In the Milse district , a few hundred meters before the border with Herford , it joins the Johannisbach zur Aa from Dornberg . These rivers drain the area in a northerly direction towards the Weser. For a long time, the Bielefeld Rieselfelder was located in the wetland between the center of Heepens and Milse .

Expansion and neighboring locations

The north-south extension of the city district is about ten and the east-west extension about six kilometers with an area of ​​38.02 square kilometers. In the district of Brake is 73  m above sea level. NHN the lowest point in the entire city of Bielefeld.

In the south the district of Heepen borders on the district of Stieghorst , in the west on the district of Mitte , in the northwest on the district of Schildesche and on Vilsendorf from the district of Jöllenbeck . The city of Herford ( Herford district ) borders the north and Bad Salzuflen and Leopoldshöhe ( Lippe district ) to the east .

Structure of the city district

The district of Heepen is informally divided into the districts of Altenhagen , Brake , Brönninghausen , Heepen, Milse and Oldentrup as well as Baumheide . The division of these informal districts goes back to the municipalities that were independent until 1972 and, in the case of the Baumheide district, to an area that had belonged to Bielefeld since 1930. The population is distributed among the districts as follows:

District	Statistical district of the city of Bielefeld	Inhabitants (December 31, 2019)
Brake	49-51	9.424
Tree heather	52	7,875
Milse	53	6.276
Altenhagen	54	4,991
Heepen with Brönninghausen	55-57	14,119

history

The name Tieplatz suggests that Heepen was a place of court and council meetings and thus a regional center even at the time of the Saxon tribal duchy before it was conquered by the Frankish Empire under Charlemagne . As a hamlet and in the first few years as a town, Bielefeld belonged to the parish of Heepen, which is why Heepen was also a regional center in the Frankish Empire and in the first centuries of the Holy Roman Empire . It is often assumed that the parish of Heepen was established when the Sachsenland was Christianized (baptism of Widukind ), i.e. that it is a so-called younger original parish . But this has not been proven. After Bielefeld left, Heepen remained the main town of an extensive administrative area that extended as far as the Senne as the Vogtei Heepen within the county of Ravensberg .

The first stone church on the site of today's Peter and Paul Church was built around the year 1000 on the site of a previous wooden building. The oldest documented mention of the place “Hepin” comes from May 25th 1036, when the Paderborn Bishop Meinwerk donated the tithe of Hof Meyer zu Heepen to the newly founded Busdorf Monastery in the Busdorf document . Hepin is mentioned as the Vorwerk of the manor Niederbarkhausen in today's Leopoldshöhe .

1843, with the introduction of the Westphalian State Municipal Code was in the district of Bielefeld , the Office Heepen decorated and divided into nine municipalities. Lübrassen , which had previously existed separately from Heepen, also belonged to the community of Heepen .

In terms of the settlement structure, Heepen remained a scattered settlement until the 19th century, as is usual in the Ravensberger Land , before the place developed into a residential and industrial suburb of Bielefeld. As part of the local reorganization of the Bielefeld area , Heepen was incorporated into Bielefeld on January 1, 1973. In the enlarged city of Bielefeld, the northern part of the former Heepen office and the Baumheide district of the old city of Bielefeld became the Heepen district. The Heepen district administration is located in the old administrative building, the Heep Castle .

Buildings

Peter and Paul Church

War memorial in Heepen

• Peter and Paul Church . The first church building was made of wood and is estimated to be between 800 and 830. The first stone church was built around the year 1000. It was a single-nave Romanesque church. Today's hall church was built from around 1230 to around 1500 and is partly Romanesque and partly Gothic . The south aisle was not built until 1837 in the form of historicism . Inside there are some remains of the historical furnishings, in particular an early baroque memorial altar , which is inscribed in 1652 and 1654. The baroque pulpit was built in 1725. The organ front was createdin 1692.

• The St. Hedwig Church was built in 1955/1956 for the numerous Catholic refugees. The altar area of ​​the otherwise plain interior is dominated by a "meditation wall" made of colored enamel panels .

• Good Lübrassen . The former mansion , which wasmassive on the ground floor and made of half-timbering on the upper floor, was built together with the stable building in the early 19th century. Both buildings are connected by a gatehouse with a turret, which was definitely not built until after 1895.

• The Sattelmeyerhof "Meyer zu Heepen" , first mentioned in a document in 1036, was once completely surrounded by water. Today the trenches and a large pond system are only preserved in the east and south. The half-timbered main building was destroyed together with the gatehouse in the Second World War. The mansion, a simple plastered building in late classicist forms, was built in 1851. The former body breeding originated as early as the 18th century, while the two-story storage building with a crooked hip roof is dated to 1808. The building complex is an example of the type of Gr mean yard, which is relatively rare in this area . Such courtyards are particularly common in the Münsterland . On the Lutter, not far from the farm, is the associated water mill , the timber-framed part of which dates from 1800. The two-storey solid building, on the other hand, was only built after the Second World War.

• Former Sattelmeyerhof "Schelpmeyer" . The main building of what was once the second largest courtyard in Heepen, a mighty four-column half-timbered building , was built in 1849. The gate posts are carved with grapevines. The living part, which also consists of half-timbered houses, is designed as a two-storey transept.

• House Milse . The small water system, whose two-story main building has two wings, was first mentioned in 1194. The massive basement of the mansion, decorated with pointed blocks and spheres, was probably built towards the end of the 16th century. The plastered, half-timbered upper floor was not added until the 18th century. The entrance portals, one of them with a baroque decor, are marked in 1704 and 1698.

• Former bailiwick , Heeper Straße 440/442. The half-timbered house, popularly known as the "Langer Jammer" due to its impressive length, was built in its current form in the early 19th century. Shortly afterwards, the two-storey building with a half-hipped roof is said to have been extended to the east, to which the inscription above the former entrance gate refers: “JOHANN CHRISTOPH HAASE AND CHRSTINA CHARLOTE HUWENDIECKS THESE TWO MARRIAGES HAVE GOTTES HULFFE AND SEGEN BAUHEL, BY GOTTES HULFFE, LASBRILEN BAUHEL 1816 15 MAY “The alleged construction date, often given as" 1667 ", should refer to the previous building, from which the two remaining sandstone gemstones probably come. They are both provided with the initials of the bailiff Matthias Becker, who had his official residence here from 1667 to 1680. While one stone is marked with the year 1667, the second is decorated with an image of Adam and Eve. For the new building in the 19th century, some timber from the predecessor seems to have been reused, as some rafters could be dendrochronologically dated to 1659/60. In 1986 the dilapidated building was thoroughly renovated, so that there is now hardly any historical building fabric left. Inside there is a branch of the city ​​library , the home office of the Heeper Heimatverein, a gallery and shops.

• District office (so-called “Heeper Schloss”), Salzufler Str. 13. The two-storey plastered building with a hipped roof was built in 1833 as a private house of the Haase family in late Classicist forms instead of an old courtyard. It is the second oldest standing stone building in the center of Heeper (after the church).

• The war memorial on the corner of Salzufler and Hillegosser Strasse commemorates the wars of unification and those who fell from the former Heepen office. Among them was the son of the monument founder. It was inaugurated in 1874. On the pedestal are the names of the fallen and their military units. The monument is crowned by an eagle holding down the French sword.
