history
Humfeld is mentioned for the first time around 1465 in documents from the Möllenbeck Kanonissenstift . In order to secure the economic basis, monks created extensive registers of the monastery's possessions at this time. In the directory super bona Molenbeke , together with other places, Humfeld is also mentioned. Read on here: Humfeld consists of the upper and lower areas. The Oberhof is located in Oberenhumfeld. He belongs to the Wülfentrup office and brings a pension of 5 schillings. He is a Hagengut . [...] Oberenhumfeld is desolate and lies under the Sternberg towards Bega . Both the upper and lower environs had fallen in desolation at that time . The cause could have been diseases and epidemics that depopulated entire regions. But the numerous feuds during this time may have caused this devastation. In the Soest feud from 1444 to 1449, large parts of Lippe were looted and destroyed.
Humfeld has belonged to this parish since the foundation of the Bega parish . The current church was built there around 145 years ago. During excavation work, a number of mostly double-stacked coffins made of hollowed-out tree trunks were found at a depth of four meters. These death trees were common in the time of Charlemagne and the boggy ground had preserved the coffins. In the course of the 13th century, the first stone church was probably built here and served the community as a meeting place until it was demolished in 1863. The first pastor known by name in the Humfelder was Johann de Warberge at the beginning of the 15th century. Towards the end of the 15th century Humfeld had around 170 inhabitants, whose only source of income was agriculture. They lived from the low yields of their small fields that had been cleared from the surrounding dense jungle. Mainly oats , barley and legumes were grown and their tools consisted of plow , hoe , scythe and sickle .
Medieval society was organized according to classes , the members of which were recognizable by their clothing. The peasant rural population was wearing a short tunic of coarse linen, to above the knee reaching pants and held together by ligaments covenant shoes . The hair had to be cut back to the ears, and wearing longer hair was a privilege of the nobles. During the Middle Ages, more and more peasants got into serfdom , sometimes under duress, sometimes also voluntarily, in order to obtain the protection of powerful masters. For this they had to do certain services for their body lords, as well as pay taxes to them. At the end of the Middle Ages there were only serf farmers in Humfeld. Serfdom was only lifted by Princess Pauline in 1808 as a result of the French Revolution .
In 1881, the Elisenstift nursing home named after Elise Merckel (1815–1857) was founded in Humfeld . Ms. Merckel had made 10,000 thalers available for the pen in her will. After her death, her husband Pastor Ludwig Merckel realized the project and became the first chairman of the board of trustees.
On January 1, 1969, Humfeld became part of the municipality of Dörentrup. Smaller areas of the municipality of Humfeld were incorporated into Barntrup , but according to the main statute they do not form separate districts.
In 2006 the Elisenstift celebrated its 125th anniversary.
