geography

location

The old district of Paderborn was between 51 ° 56 'and 51 ° 37' N.B. and between 8 ° 24 'and 9 ° 00' E. L. in the southeast corner of the Westphalian Bay . It played a part in the eastern Hellweg area , extended far into the Senne in the north , was bordered by the Egge Mountains in the east , and the Paderborn plateau in the south .

The Ems has its source here in the Senne between Stukenbrock and Hövelhof . The Lippe rises in Bad Lippspringe and the Pader and Alme flow into it in Neuhaus Castle . Below Kirchborchen the Altenau flows into the Alme.

In 1950 the district covered an area of ​​596.57 km² with a resident population of 109,045 inhabitants. So he had a population density of 183 inhabitants per km².

At the point where the district bordered the districts of Wiedenbrück and Lemgo, the district of Bielefeld also bordered. This point in the middle of the formerly deserted Senne used to be a quadrangle, which is still reminiscent of historical landmarks today: This is where the territories of the County of Ravensberg , the County (later Principality) of Lippe , the Hochstift Paderborn and the County of Rietberg met .

Neighboring areas

In 1969, the Paderborn district bordered clockwise to the north, starting with the Bielefeld , Lemgo , Detmold , Höxter , Warburg , Büren , Lippstadt and Wiedenbrück districts .

The district boundary was 167 km long. Starting in the north, clockwise, the borders with the districts of Lemgo were 6 km, Detmold 25 km, Höxter 19 km, Warburg 5 km, Büren 79 km, and Wiedenbrück 33 km (status at the end of 1971).

history

After the prince-bishopric of Paderborn fell to Prussia in 1803 due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the prince-bishopric became the principality of Paderborn . The Prussian authorities divided its area into three new districts , the Oberwald district in the east, the Warburg district in the south and the Unterwald district in the west of the principality. The Oberamt Neuhaus and the offices of Delbrück, Boke , Büren and Wewelsburg belonged to the Unterwaldische Kreis . Maximilian von Elverfeldt was appointed as the district administrator .

From 1807 to 1813 the area belonged to the Kingdom of Westphalia and received an administrative structure based on the French model. The later district area now belonged to the Paderborn district in the Fulda department and was divided into the five cantons of Paderborn, Delbrück, Lippspringe, Neuhaus and Paderborn. The former district administrator Maximilian von Elverfeldt was sub-prefect of the Paderborn district during this time .

After the collapse of French rule, the area fell back to Prussia in 1813, which, after confirmation by the Congress of Vienna in 1815 , incorporated its acquisition into its newly created province of Westphalia . In the newly established administrative district of Minden , the Paderborn district was formed on October 18, 1816 by ordinance of the Royal Government in Minden . The cantons founded in 1807 initially existed as administrative districts, sometimes also referred to as “ mayor's offices ”. In 1832 Oberntudorf and Niederntudorf were reclassified from the Paderborn district to the Büren district .

As part of the introduction of the rural community order for the province of Westphalia, the district was divided into the four offices of Delbrück , Lippspringe , Kirchborchen and Neuhaus in 1844. The city of Paderborn remained vacant.

On March 10, 1880, the Kirchborchen office moved into a newly constructed building in Nordborchen on today's Paderborner Strasse. Shortly before, the office had bought the property for this purpose from Baron von Brenken. This building, which was expanded in 1905, served the office as an administrative office until its dissolution at the end of 1974, after which the Borchen community served as the municipal administration until the new town hall in Kirchborchen was built in 1984.

In 1895 Hövelhof and Stukenbrock moved from the Delbrück office to the Neuhaus office. In 1921 Lippspringe became vacant. The Lippspringe office was initially named "Lippspringe Office with its seat in Altenbeken" and later the name "Altenbeken Office". The municipality Neuhaus received after the celebration of the 700th anniversary in November 1957 the additional name "Castle". The village farming community was incorporated into Delbrück in 1964 .

1969 Stukenbrock with communities Schloss Holte and broadcast from the Office Verl , Kreis Wiedenbrück , the new municipality (city since 2003) Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock together and came to a temporary circle Bielefeld , from 1973 to Gütersloh . Also in 1969 Marienloh from the Altenbeken office and Wewer from the Kirchborchen office were incorporated into Paderborn, while Alfen , Kirchborchen and Nordborchen merged to form the Borchen municipality with its headquarters in Nordborchen. The community of Sande joined the community of Neuhaus Castle .

On October 1, 1969, the district became the Paderborn district.

On January 1, 1975, the Sauerland / Paderborn law came into force, as a result of which the Paderborn district was merged with almost the entire area of the Büren district to form the new Paderborn district. After Paderborn, Benhausen , Marienloh and Neuenbeken were incorporated from the Altenbeken office, Dahl from the Kirchborchen office and Elsen and Schloss Neuhaus from the Neuhaus office. Altenbeken, Buke and Schwaney merged to form the new large municipality of Altenbeken . The community Hövelhof from the Neuhaus district was expanded to include the Espeln district of the Ostenland community from the Delbrück district. The municipalities of the Delbrück office and the three Lippe municipalities Anreppen , Bentfeld and Boke from the Salzkotten-Boke office of the Büren district merged to form the city of Delbrück . The municipality of Borchen, which was newly formed in 1969, was expanded to include Dörenhagen from the Kirchborchen office and Etteln from the Atteln office in the Büren district. At the same time, all offices were dissolved.
