geography

Geographical location

Husen is located in Westphalia on the Sintfeld , the southern partial landscape of the Paderborn plateau in the southwest part of the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge nature park, southwest of the Lichtenau core city. It is located below the confluence of the Piepenbach in the upper reaches of the Alme tributary Altenau .

Neighborhoods

Starting in the north, the Lichtenau districts Ebbinghausen , Lichtenau , Holtheim , Blankenrode , Dalheim and Atteln border on Husen in a clockwise direction . These places all belong to the Paderborn district .

climate

Like Ostwestfalen-Lippe, Husen belongs to the oceanic climatic area of north-west Germany , to which it owes low temperature differences and mild winters. However, continental influences are already at work . The temperature in summer is higher and the nights are cooler than in closer proximity to the coast. The location on the Sintfeld results in a colline climate of the hill country level with cooler temperatures and higher precipitation than in other locations in the district.

history

General

Husen was first mentioned as Husin in Patherga (= Padergau) in 1043 through a document from the Corvey Monastery . In the deed, the tithe rights were transferred to the St. Magnus Church in Niedermarsberg . Its own chapel was built in 1182. In the years that followed, monasteries were the determining factor for the village. In the 13th century the monasteries Willebadessen and Bredelar were landowners, followed by the Dalheim monastery . After a long period in the late Middle Ages, the village was temporarily deserted . The lords of Calenberg revitalized the place at the end of the 15th century by building a manor. Husen became one of around 60 knight seats in the prince-bishopric of Paderborn . In 1701 the Paderborn Cathedral Chapter acquired the aristocratic property. With the fall of the Principality of Paderborn and the invasion of Prussian troops in 1802, the episcopal property fell to the Kingdom of Prussia in the course of secularization. Only in 1902 did the place get its own parish church.

Incorporation

Before 1 January 1975, the then-village belonged Husen (county Buren) for Office Atteln in county Buren . With the entry into force of the Sauerland / Paderborn Act , most of the municipalities of the Atteln Office and thus Husen were merged with the municipalities of the Lichtenau Office to form the new city of Lichtenau (Westphalia) and came with this to the Paderborn district.

The town of Lichtenau is the legal successor to the Atteln office and the Husen community.

Economy and Infrastructure

Tourism has played a major role in Husen and the surrounding area since the 1960s and 70s. At this point in time, the "Europe Holiday Village" was also created.

In the municipal kindergarten "Wunderland" up to 25 children are looked after in one group.

Next to the church, in the middle of the village, is the sports field, which is used by the sports club “SC Rot Weiß Husen 1925 eV” and other interest groups.
