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.

history

Capitals and cities of the Principality of Paderborn until 1802/03 (as of 1789):
Paderborn , Warburg , Brakel , Borgentreich | Beverungen , Borgholz , Bredenborn , Büren , Driburg , Dringenberg , Gehrden , Calenberg , Kleinenberg , Lichtenau , Lippspringe , Lügde , Nieheim , Peckelsheim , Salzkotten , Steinheim , Vörden , Willebadessen , Wünnenberg

Clenenberga was first mentioned around 1220. In 1249 it was first referred to as a city ("oppidum"). At that time, the Lords of Osdagessen-Marschall transferred their rights to the city to the Paderborn Bishop so that Ludolf and Hermann Marschall, who were Cologne Ministeriale through their mother, were accepted into the Paderborn service team and thus could keep their Paderborn service loan. Based on the sources, it cannot be decided whether Kleinenberg was founded solely by the Ministerials von Osdagessen-Marschall, who were wealthy in the Kleinenberg area, or was founded jointly with the Paderborn bishop. The second possibility is considered more likely because of the interest of the bishop in the territorial expansion of the bishopric and the status of the Osdagessen marshal as ministerial and owner of the Paderborn marshal's office.

Kleinenberg was an important outpost against the Counts of Waldeck during the establishment of the territory of the Principality of Paderborn ( Hochstift ). A Burgmannslehen is occupied for the von Calenberg and is assumed for the Marshal von Osdagessen. Since both families also had castle fiefs in Lichtenau and the now desolate town of Blankenrode, where the Marschall von Osdagessen also held a castle fief, had pledges, Michael Lagers sees "a defensive triangle dominated and coordinated by identical Burgmann families".

As part of the Paderborn bishopric, the city was also part of the Holy Roman Empire , including the Lower Rhine-Westphalian Empire from the 16th century . In 1802/03 the bishopric was occupied by the Kingdom of Prussia . In Napoleonic times the place was part of the Kingdom of Westphalia . From 1815 on, Kleinenberg finally belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia, from 1871 it was part of the German Empire . From 1945 to 1949 Kleinenberg was part of the British zone of occupation , from 1946 state governed by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and from 1949 also by the Federal Republic of Germany .
