geography

location

Most of the former district area is covered by the Paderborn plateau with its southern partial landscapes. The Egge Mountains delimit the district to the east. In the southeast it extends into the Diemelsenke . In the south, the district also had a share in the Sauerland . Here is the highest point of the district "Am Totenkopf" near Bleireinigung at 498  m above sea level. NN . In the northwest, the district has a share of the lip lowlands and the eastern Hellweg area . The area of ​​the former district is now also referred to as Bürener Land .

Neighboring areas

In 1973, the Büren district bordered clockwise in the north, starting with the Paderborn and Warburg districts (both in North Rhine-Westphalia), the Waldeck district (in Hesse ) and the Brilon and Lippstadt districts (both in North Rhine-Westphalia).

history

The area of ​​the Büren district originally belonged to the Principality of Paderborn . From 1807 to 1813 the later district area was part of the Kingdom of Westphalia and received an administrative structure based on the French model. It now belonged to the Paderborn district in the Fulda department and was subdivided into the five cantons of Atteln, Büren, Lichtenau, Ringboke (= Boke), Salzkotten and Wünnenberg.

After the end of the French era , the district first belonged to the Prussian civil government between the Weser and the Rhine and from 1815 to the new Prussian province of Westphalia . The administrative district of Minden , founded within the province of Westphalia , was divided into twelve districts on November 1, 1816, including the Büren district. The cantons founded in 1807 initially continued to exist as an administrative district, sometimes also referred to as the mayor's office .

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 six offices of Atteln , Boke , Büren , Lichtenau , Salzkotten and Wünnenberg in 1844. The city of Salzkotten remained vacant.

The two offices of Boke and Salzkotten were administered by a common bailiff in personal union since 1859. In 1861 the new community of Mantinghausen was formed from a part of Rebbeke . The city of Büren left the office of Büren in 1895, which was later called the office of Büren-Land .

In 1938 the offices of Salzkotten and Boke were finally merged to form the office of Salzkotten-Boke . At the same time, the city of Salzkotten lost its freedom of office and was incorporated into this office. In 1939, the community was Keddinghausen after Hegendorf incorporated. On August 10, 1952, the municipality of Dalheim-Blankenrode was divided into the three municipalities of Blankenrode , Dalheim and Elisenhof . In 1969 the city and the office of Büren set up an administrative association in anticipation of the local government reform.

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

On January 1, 1975, almost the entire area of ​​the district was merged with the old Paderborn district by the Sauerland / Paderborn law . Essentho , Meerhof , Oesdorf and Westheim came to Marsberg and thus to the Hochsauerlandkreis ; the three Lippe communities Garfeln , Hörste and Rebbeke were incorporated into the city of Lippstadt by Section 45 of the Münster / Hamm Act and thus became part of the Soest district . Etteln came to Borchen and the three Lippe communities Anreppen , Bentfeld and Boke to Delbrück . The remaining municipalities were merged into the four cities of Büren , Lichtenau , Salzkotten and Wünnenberg .

The legal successor of the Büren district is the Paderborn district . When the two districts merged, it was agreed that the district culture office as well as the district archive of the new district and some branch offices would be located in Büren. While today almost all traces of the Büren district are blurred at the administrative level (the district culture office and the Paderborn district archive are located in Büren and the branch of the Paderborn district road traffic office was closed a few years ago), the Büren district exists elsewhere Still today: The district rifle festival, which takes place every year in September, is only attended by those places that formed the Büren district up to 1975, as well as the neighboring communities of the old district by invitation.
