The Lippe district is the second most populous district in the Detmold administrative district ( Ostwestfalen-Lippe ) in northeast North Rhine-Westphalia . The district town is Detmold .
The district follows the tradition of the former state of Lippe , which joined North Rhine-Westphalia in 1947 and has since formed its third part of the state (alongside northern Rhineland and Westphalia ). This position is symbolized by the Lippe rose in the coat of arms of North Rhine-Westphalia . The name of the district is derived from that of the ruling house that ruled until 1918 , whose ancestral seat was on the Lippe River , but which does not touch the district area.
Neighboring areas
The district of Lippe borders in a clockwise direction in the northeast on the districts of Schaumburg , Hameln-Pyrmont and Holzminden (all in Lower Saxony ), the districts of Höxter , Paderborn and Gütersloh , the independent city of Bielefeld and the districts of Herford and Minden-Lübbecke (all In North Rhine-Westphalia). This means that it has a common border with all districts in East Westphalia.
history
See also: Lippe (Land) and Haus Lippe .
The circle stands in the tradition of the earlier territory in the Holy Roman Empire and the later German federal state of Lippe . The Lords of Lippe , first mentioned in a document in the 12th century , built up their domain here, were elevated to imperial counts in 1529 and imperial princes in 1789 . In 1815 Lippe joined the German Confederation and was a member state of the German Empire from 1871 to 1945 , since 1918 as a free state . The districts of Detmold and Lemgo had existed as administrative units since 1932 , to which the previously independent cities of Detmold and Lemgo were assigned in 1934.
On January 21, 1947, the Free State of Lippe was united with the State of North Rhine-Westphalia by Military Ordinance No. 77 of the British occupying power . On April 1, 1947, the Westphalian administrative district of Minden and Lippe was formed into the new administrative district of Minden-Lippe with its seat in Detmold (from June 2, 1947, Detmold district). In 1949, the laws passed by the North Rhine-Westphalian state parliament on November 5, 1948 - based on the so-called Lippe punctures - to regulate the unification of the state of Lippe with the state of North Rhine-Westphalia came into force, whereupon the state association Lippe was formed. The communities Lipperode and Cappel were assigned to the district of Lippstadt .
In 1969 and 1970 the municipalities were reorganized into the districts of Lemgo (on January 1, 1969 by the Lemgo Law ) and Detmold (on January 1, 1970 by the Detmold Law ). 16 towns and communities were formed from the former 168 independent towns and communities in Lippe. The city of Lügde and the communities Harzberg and Kempen- Feldrom fell to the Detmold district, the Lippe exclave Grevenhagen to the Höxter district . In the Bielefeld Act , the previous Lemgo and Detmold districts were merged with effect from January 1, 1973 to form the Lippe district with its headquarters in Detmold .
This district largely coincides in its territorial extent with the former rule / county / principality and land of Lippe and can therefore look back on almost 900 years of continuous history and can be briefly understood as "Lippe" or "Lipperland".

District council
Currently there is the following distribution of seats according to parliamentary groups in the district council (as of September 2014):
| SPD | CDU | GREEN | FDP | THE LEFT | Non-attached | total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 23 | 23 | 6th | 3 | 3 | 2 | 60 |
| CDU 21 FREE VOTERS 2 |
AfD 2 |
As a result of the last election, the FREE VOTERS lost their parliamentary group status. After failed negotiations with the AfD about the formation of a joint parliamentary group and their exclusion from the electoral group, the two elected officials joined the CDU parliamentary group. CDU (+ FREE VOTERS), GREEN and FDP form a coalition.
Coat of arms, flag and banner
The coat of arms of the circle shows a red five-petalled rose in silver (white) with golden (yellow) clusters and golden (yellow) sepals (see Lippe rose ).
The Lippe district, formed in 1973 as part of the local government reform, has the Lippe rose in its coat of arms with the approval of July 17, 1973. Historically, the rose has been a coat of arms symbol for the rule, the county, the principality and the Free State of Lippe for centuries. Since the merging of the two districts of Detmold and Lemgo, the area of the district of Lippe has essentially coincided with that of the former state of Lippe. It was therefore natural to consider the common history of unusual continuity over almost eight centuries to use the Lippe rose as the new coat of arms of the district. The 16 golden stamens symbolize the cities and municipalities of the new Lippe district.
The circle carries a flag with the colors yellow and red, striped lengthways, with the circular coat of arms shifted to the pole, and a banner with the colors yellow and red, striped lengthways with the circular coat of arms in the upper half. (§ 2 of the main statutes of the district)

Agriculture
The agricultural use falls quite differently from in each region Lippe: While in August the village only 2.8% of the cadastral area is used for agriculture, they are in Leopoldshöhe 81%.

In Augustdorf and Schlangen there is a further restriction that a considerable part of the respective municipal area is occupied by the Senne military training area .
