Herstelle is a south-eastern town of Beverungen in the Höxter district , North Rhine-Westphalia . The place has about 1000 inhabitants.
Geographical location
Herstelle is located in the Weser Uplands on the left bank of the Weser about 4 km from Beverungen in the north-west and Bad Karlshafen in the east. On the opposite or north bank of the Weser are the village of Würgassen and the Hanoverian cliffs with the Weser Skywalk and a little upstream, in the direction of Bad Karlshafen, the Hessian cliffs are on the south bank of the Weser at the confluence of the Diemel . Herstelle is the easternmost place in North Rhine-Westphalia.
history
Herstelle was founded in 797 by Charlemagne . On a trip he set up his winter quarters on the Weser and named the place Heristal Saxonicum . With this name, Charlemagne wanted to announce the future capital city function of Heristal with a bishopric for Saxony. Heristal in Francia (today Herstal , a Belgian municipality in the province of Liège ) was as the cradle of the Pippinids and main residence of Charlemagne from 758 to 784, a main residence of the Franconian Empire and the exhibition site of the "Haristalense" (capital from 779). On October 28, 797, the Capitulare Saxonicum began a less harsh policy towards the Saxons. In Heristal Saxonicum, numerous wooden buildings were initially built under the protection of the Wallburg . This - only laid out as a refuge - came from pre-Carolingian times and was used by the Saxons from the 7th century (after?). Evidence for the period before 797 is unfortunately completely missing. At the battle of Charles near this place, of which the field names "Kemperfeld" (fighter field) and "Totengrund" still testify, it was about the important Weser ford there and the elevation above to secure the ford. The importance of Heristal Saxonicum at that time is also evident from the fact that Karl's winter quarters there, unusually, expanded until May 798. Apparently, at this point in time, he had big plans for the new establishment that was close to his heart.
It has not been passed down, which is why Paderborn, at the intersection of the Westphalian Hellweg and Frankfurter Weg, became the seat of a bishopric the following year. Presumably the sudden escape of Pope Leo III played here . because of allegations of adultery from Rome to the Palatinate Paderborn a role. The Pope bought the help of the powerful Frankish king not only through recognition of a diocese in Saxony (his asylum at the time) in 799, but also through Charles' coronation as Roman Emperor at Christmas 800. Heristal Saxonicum was only two years after its foundation Far from being as developed as the Pfalz Paderborn, which was founded in 776.
From the (Saxon?) Franconian Wallburg a late medieval castle of the Paderborn bishops was created, from the planned episcopal church under the protection of the castle a local church with a parsonage emerged, from which meanwhile an imposing castle-like monastery complex on the hill next to the castle emerged. The Benedictine nuns there are also spiritually continuing the early medieval legacy. The local church was relocated to the Wesertal in 1711.
The name of the place was first mentioned in a document in connection with the Herstelle castle of the same name. However, this castle was destroyed in 1464 in the Hesse-Paderborn feud (1464 to 1471). Even during the Thirty Years' War , the castle and town fell victim to flames.
The history of Herstelle has always been closely linked to inland shipping. The manufacturer Schifferverein, founded in 1928, is something special today as it was then. Such clubs can only be found in four other Upper Weser towns. This association has been running the "German Wriggel Championship " on the Weser since 2001 .
Until 1969, Herstelle was an independent municipality in the Beverungen district . As part of the municipality reform in the Höxter district, Herstelle merged on January 1, 1970 with the city of Beverungen and the ten municipalities of Amelunxen, Blankenau, Dalhausen, Drenke, Haarbrück, Jakobsberg, Rothe, Tietelsen, Wehrden and Würgassen to form the new city of Beverungen, whereby Herstelle the oldest part of town is. Since 1969 there has been a partnership between the manufacturer and the French community of St. Valery sur Somme.
Attractions

- Around the point where today's castle rises above the Weser valley, Charlemagne built the first Franconian castle on the Weser ( Heristallum Saxonicum ) around 800 AD . Only a few meters from this place, a 2-meter-thick cliff, the so-called Karlstein, protrudes from the steep rock face . On this is a worked rock table 2.50 m wide, 1.30 m deep and 0.85 m high. This was built in 1835 during blasting for a road (today's federal highway 83 ), which was built at that time to support the difficult seasonal shipping on the Weser and to stimulate trade during the time of the German Customs Union . Herstelle owned an important ferry for the overland route from Bremen via Hameln to Hannoversch Münden . After 1835 the oldest cross stone in Westphalia, often referred to as the Bonifatius Cross, was moved to this place and given the year 797 to commemorate the early history of Manufacture. Its origin is not known. Nevertheless - or precisely because of it - the specialist author W. Brockspäler describes him in his standard work "Steinkreuze in Westphalen" (Münster 1963, p. 63f) as possibly Old Franconian and writes of a possible stonemason in the entourage of Charlemagne, who the cross "after the Samples of similar monuments made in his home country ”. A Franconian workshop from which the cross for the Franconian church on the Burgberg could be made is not excluded. It is probable that the "Boniface Cross" could have come from the castle itself, because the creation of the Karlsstein in 1835 corresponds well with the modern construction work on the castle from 1825 to 1832. However, there is no evidence of this. Boniface's stay in Herstelle is also not documented and very improbable. The name probably just refers to an old Franconian stone, which possibly comes from the century of this "Apostle of the Germans".
