history
The Lemgo district was created in the Free State of Lippe in 1932 due to the municipal reform. It was formed from the union of the District Offices Brake and Schötmar with the unofficial cities of Barntrup , Oerlinghausen and Schötmar . In 1934, the cities of Lemgo and Bad Salzuflen were also incorporated into the new district, whose district administration was located in Brake Castle . Since then 77 towns and communities have belonged to the Lemgo district.
On April 1, 1939, the two communities Oberwüsten and Unterwüsten were merged to form the municipality of Wüsten . The communities of Währentrup and Mackenbruch were merged on April 1, 1957 with parts of the former community of Wellentrup (renamed Kachtenhausen on December 11, 1963) to form the new Helpup community.
Before the municipality reform, the district was divided into 75 municipalities, of which Bad Salzuflen, Barntrup, Lemgo, Oerlinghausen and Schötmar had town charter. Until 1976 there were also four uninhabited forest districts. Due to the "Law to reorganize the Lemgo district" of November 5, 1968, the communities were merged on January 1, 1969 to form the eight new cities and communities of Bad Salzuflen, Barntrup, Dörentrup , Extertal , Kalletal , Lemgo, Leopoldshöhe and Oerlinghausen. The communities Hörstmar and Trophagen from the Detmold district were also incorporated into the city of Lemgo. Kachtenhausen and Loßbruch moved to the Detmold district and were incorporated into Lage and Detmold . On October 1, 1969, the district became the district of Lemgo.
The Lemgo district was merged with the Detmold district in what is now the Lippe district on January 1, 1973 under the Bielefeld Act . Detmold became the seat of the district administration .
