Nieheim is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany and belongs to the Höxter district . It is a climatic health resort and a basic center in an area with a predominantly rural structure. There are the following historical names for the current place name Nieheim: Nihem, Nyem, Nym. Around 6,250 people live in Nieheim, which extends over an area of around 80 km².

geography

Geographical location

Nieheim is located in the north of Southeast Westphalia . Nieheim is located in the upper Weser Uplands on the eastern edge of the Eggegebirge nature park and the southern Teutoburg Forest . About half of the urban area belongs to the Steinheimer Börde , a fertile loess landscape. This was settled and cleared early on. In the west Nieheim has a share in the eastern foreland of the Egge Mountains , in the south on the Nethe bergland. The mountains surrounding the Börde are still wooded today. The historic city center of Nieheim lies exactly on the border between Börde in the north and Bergland in the south. The entire urban area belongs to the catchment area of the Weser ; the most important flowing water is the Emmer , which flows into the Weser south of Hameln .

geology

Geothermal map of Nieheim

The bedrock in the urban area is mainly made up of clay , marl , limestone and sandstones from the Middle Ages , primarily from the Triassic and Jurassic . These sedimentary rocks are between one and 1.5 km thick. In the course of the earth's history, they have been folded, broken and lifted out to form a mountain of fractures .

Deeper is a solid rock plinth made of rocks from the ancient world ( Devonian , Carboniferous and Permian ). In the flat, undulating landscape of the Börden, the bedrock is covered by loose rocks from the Ice Age ( gravel , sand and loess ).

Limestone , sandstone and clay marl stones from the Middle Ages are the most important aquifers. In some cases, however, the groundwater is severely salty due to the solution of gypsum and rock salt in the deeper subsoil, so that it cannot be used as drinking water. Mineral water is partially extracted from layers of the Triassic and Permian.

The northeastern urban area is largely covered with high-yielding parabrown soils , so it is mainly used for arable farming, with pseudogleye being created to a lesser extent . In the west, the loess has largely been eroded on steeper slopes. In wider valleys with silty - loamy river sedimentations, gleye and brown floodplain soils have developed, which are used as grassland locations.

In the summer of 2007, an almost completely preserved plesiosaur skeleton was found in the disused clay pit in Nieheim-Sommersell . Only a few cervical vertebrae and the head are missing. It is the world's first almost complete plesiosaur from layers of the Lower Pliensbachian (Lower Jura). The skeleton discovered by Sönke Simonsen was recovered from the LWL-Museum für Naturkunde Münster and prepared by Manfred Schlösser.

Nieheim is mostly well suited, in the south-western area very well, for the use of geothermal heat sources by means of a geothermal probe and heat recovery through heat pump heating (see the map).

Expansion and use of the urban area

The area of the city, classified as a "small rural community", covers an area of 79.79 km². The largest extension in north-south direction is approx. 11.6 km and in east-west direction approx. 13.5 km.

climate

Precipitation diagram Nieheim

The climate in Nieheim is determined by its location in the ocean-continental transition area of Central Europe and by its location on the Egge Mountains. The area is predominantly in the area of the sub-Atlantic maritime climate , but has some temporary continental influences . The winters are mostly mild under the influence of the Atlantic, the summers are moderately warm and the rainfall is relatively evenly distributed. The annual mean temperature is around 8 ° C.

The precipitation is significantly influenced by the location on the Egge Mountains. The annual precipitation is in all months, but especially in the winter months, well above the national average. The amount of precipitation usually fluctuates between about 800 and 1000 mm annual precipitation depending on the location. Since the prevailing winds mostly blow from the south-west and bring with them moist air from the Atlantic , there is pronounced uphill rain on the windward side of the Egge Mountains .

history

Nieheim is mentioned as Nyhem on May 25, 1036 in the Busdorf document . In the same year, Bishop Meinwerk von Paderborn handed over the Herrenhof Nieheim with four outbuildings to the Busdorf Canon Monastery in Paderborn. Even before that, today's city of Nieheim belonged to the area of the later Paderborn bishopric . In order to counteract the expansion efforts of the Electorate of Cologne , Prince-Bishop Bernhard IV. Zur Lippe (ruled 1228 to 1247) granted the former village of Nieheim town rights with lower jurisdiction , market rights , minting rights and so on around 1230 . Nieheim forms its own office within the prince-bishopric, misleadingly called judges . The bailiff called himself a judge . The Nieheim judge was assigned to the Dringenberg Oberamt .

Then the local farmers to leave their homesteads in the Steinheimer Börde and route them to the new city, which then become a farming town developed later the Association of Cities of the Hanseatic joins.

In 1802 the Paderborn bishopric lost its state independence when it was occupied by Prussia , but fell back to the Kingdom of Westphalia for a few years in 1807 ( department of the Fulda ) and in 1813 after the Napoleonic defeat to Prussia. Nieheim is incorporated into the province of Westphalia , which was founded in 1815, and by decree of the royal government in Minden comes to the Brakel district, founded in 1816 . However, as early as 1832 this was added to the neighboring Höxter district, which was founded at the same time to the east .

When the Prussian districts are divided into offices , Nieheim becomes the seat of the Nieheim office. This exists until its communities merge to form the new city of Nieheim on January 1, 1970.

As a result of the Second World War , the number of residents of the city of Nieheim and the surrounding municipalities of the office increased by around 2000 refugees and displaced persons.

In 1956, the Barmer Ersatzkasse , whose head office was previously in Nieheim, relocated it to Wuppertal - Barmen , whereupon around 600 residents moved away from Nieheim.

Up until the 1990s there was an ammunition depot for the British Armed Forces in Germany near Merlsheim and Pömbsen on Bilster Berg . In this area, the new construction of the “ Bilster Berg Drive Resort ” car test center with an approximately 4.2 km long race track was built by 2013 .

In 1994 Nieheim won the 3rd national competition “Family Holidays in Germany” and in 1995 was recognized by the state as a health resort with a healthy climate .

Religions

The majority of the population of Nieheim is, as in the entire area of the former Hochstift Paderborn, Catholic . The Catholic parishes in the city are Sankt Nikolaus Nieheim, Sankt Antonius von Padua Eversen and Sankt Antonius von Padua Himmighausen with the branch Sankt Luzia Merlsheim, Sankt Johannes Baptist Entrup and Sankt Johannes Baptist Holzhausen, Sankt Kosmas and Damian Oeynhausen as well as St. Peter and Paul Sommersell . These parishes form a common pastoral association in the Archdiocese of Paderborn , which until June 30, 2006 belonged to the Dean's Office Brakel-Steinheim of the pastoral care region Hochstift. Since July 1, 2006 - with the dissolution of the pastoral care regions and the consolidation of the deaneries into larger units in the archbishopric - these communities have been part of the newly created Höxter deanery.

For the Protestant Christians there is the Protestant parish Marienmünster-Nieheim in the Paderborn parish of the Evangelical Church of Westphalia . House of God is the neo-Gothic cruciform church in Nieheim.

The Jehovah's Witnesses (Assembly Nieheim) have their Kingdom Hall in Wasserstr.11 since 1975th The Kingdom Hall was sold in early 2016 because a new Kingdom Hall (church building) is being built in Steinheim for Jehovah's Witnesses Congregation Nieheim and Congregation Blomberg.

An indication of the distribution of religions can be the denomination of the Nieheim students. Accordingly, in the 2006/2007 school year, 20.2% of the students stated Protestant, 70.4% Catholic and 0.3% Islamic as their religious affiliation. 6.2% said they belonged to another religion and 2.9% had no denomination.

Incorporations

On the basis of a voluntarily concluded territorial change agreement, the law on the municipal reorganization of the Höxter district of December 2, 1969, joins the previous municipalities of the Nieheim Entrup, Erwitzen, Eversen, Himmighausen, Holzhausen, Merlsheim, Oeynhausen, Schönenberg, Sommersell and the city of Nieheim on 1 December 1969 January 1970 together to form the new town of Nieheim. The Nieheim office is dissolved. The legal successor is the new city of Nieheim.
