Hohenbreden

Hohenbreden is a small town near Bad Driburg- Erpentrup and Steinheim- Sandebeck and, together with Grevenhagen, belongs to the town of Steinheim , which in turn belongs to the Höxter district. The only 15 inhabitants of Hohenbreden (as of April 2, 2009) live in five houses, whereby the oldest house was built in 1807 according to the inscription.

The Emmer flows through the Hohenbreden valley and flows into the Weser from the left between Bodenwerder and Hameln near the district of Emmern, the municipality of Emmerthal . The source is in Langeland, about three kilometers away .

history

In 1535 Hohenbreden was first mentioned as "Hogen Breden". After it had been confirmed in the Peace of Westphalia in Münster and Osnabrück in 1648 that the sovereign determined the religion of the subjects, the Counts of Lippe expected the villagers to follow. The Paderborn bishop tried to prevent this, so it finally came to an open dispute. In 1657 the soldiers of the Lippe office of Horn advanced and occupied Hohenbreden. There were minor clashes with Paderborn soldiers.

In the following year, 1658, the "Lippspringer Treaty" was signed between Lippe and Paderborn. All taxes and duties had to be paid to the Lippe rent chamber in Horn . Church and school, as far as religious instruction was concerned, were subordinate to Paderborn. So the residents remained Catholic and continued to belong to the parish of Sandebeck , where the dead of the village were also buried (today in Erpentrup).

If an arrest was necessary in Hohenbreden, the Vogt in Sandebeck had to be informed first. He then commissioned an appropriate number of shooters, who picked up the Lippe colleagues at the state border and escorted them through Paderborn to the fences of Grevenhagen or Hohenbreden. There the Lipper made the arrest on their own and they were led back to the border by the same route with their prisoners.

In 1970, the Höxter exclave Lügde with Harzberg and Kempenfeldrom, which had previously belonged to the Höxter district, exchanged for the Lippe exclave Grevenhagen with Hohenbreden. Since then, Grevenhagen has been part of the town of Steinheim together with Hohenbreden.
