geography

Geographical location

Schloss Holte is located in the middle of the Senne , a heathland on the eastern edge of the Westphalian Bay southwest of the Teutoburg Forest . Various Senne brooks drain the area following the natural gradient in a south-westerly direction towards the Ems .

Neighboring places

Sende, Liemke and Stukenbrock , the Hövelhofer district Hövelriege , the Verler districts Kaunitz and Bornholte as well as the Oerlinghausen district Lipperreihe border on Schloß Holte . In the north lies the Bielefeld district of Sennestadt .

history

The settlement landscape of the Verler Land emerged from the initial scattered settlements that became more concentrated over time. 1153 two "Lindbikehöfe" (presumably Obermeier and Johannliemke) in Liemke an der Wapel are mentioned for the first time in a document of the Paderborn bishop Bernhard I. von Oesede .

It is believed that the oldest Liemk farms could even go back to the Carolingian era. Often these farms are suspected to be with the Sattelmeyern. Sattelmeyer, were those farms that according to the Rietberger Landrecht of 1697 "had to serve the sovereign rulership with a saddled murmur or gelding when the latter left". In Liemke, the Dresselhaus, Geisemeier, Langenstroth, Peitzmeyer and the aforementioned Johannliemke would come into question.

After the rich and large full-span farms were no longer able to provide enough space for the growing population, the farms were partially divided and sometimes with area surcharges to create new full-span or half-span farms.

In the 14th century, a fortified castle for the Counts of Rietberg , the "Holte" house, which Bernhard VIII zur Lippe completely destroyed in 1556 , was built on the eastern edge of the Holter Forest . At the same place, Count Johann III. von Rietberg and Ostfriesland from 1608 to 1616 used today's renaissance building as a hunting lodge .

In 1531 the name "Stuykenbroike" appears for the first time.

When the church was founded in Kaunitz in 1746, a separate parish was created for the farmers of Oesterwiehe and Liemke.

In 1807 the County of Rietberg and with it Liemke fell to the Kingdom of Westphalia and, after its collapse, due to the final acts of the Congress of Vienna, to Prussia . In 1816 it combined these together with the rule of Rheda and the Reckenberg district to form the Wiedenbrück district.

In the barren Senne , originally called "Sinithi", the population initially only lives from agriculture . But in 1839 Friedrich Ludwig Tenge built the “Holter Hütte” next to the castle, in which the lawn iron ore found here was smelted from 1842 . Thus the age of industrialization begins here too .

In the hunting lodge, especially between 1845 and 1847, there were repeated meetings of an influential political circle of friends, the so-called Holter Circle . This circle included u. a. Julius Meyer , Hoffmann von Fallersleben , Otto Lüning and Hermann Kriege .

At the beginning of December 1901 the northern section of the Senne-Bahn between Bielefeld and Schloß Holte was opened, the southern section to Paderborn on July 1, 1902. The stop at km 21.65, i.e. south of the municipality, was called Liemke until 1907 , but then became at the request of the municipality Hövelhof out in Hövelriege renamed.

On October 28, 1964, the previous municipality of Liemke was renamed after its stop at Schloß Holte . This is a result of the rapid, above all economic, development in the vicinity of the station, while the previous town center has stagnated since the railway line opened. On January 1, 1970, the place merged with the communities of Stukenbrock and Sende (partially) to form the new community of Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock. The new municipality is initially assigned to the Bielefeld district. On January 1, 1973 it was reclassified to the new Gütersloh district.

Since January 1, 2003, the municipality of Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock has taken on the duties of a middle-class town and has since been known as the "Town of Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock".

Religions

Almost half of the population (46.5% as of December 31, 2004) belongs to the Catholic denomination. For these there are the three parishes St. Ursula (district Schloß Holte), St. Joseph (district Liemke), St. Heinrich (district Sende) of the deanery Rietberg-Wiedenbrück in the Archdiocese of Paderborn .

The evangelical Christians belong to the Ev. Parish of Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock. This belongs to the Gütersloh parish of the Evangelical Church of Westphalia and has existed since 1950. Initially, the castle chapel in Holte served as a church service room, and after 1961 the newly built church in Stukenbrock. The Reconciliation Church in Schloss Holte has been in use since 1981. The beginnings of this community lie in the 1830s, when the settlement of various commercial enterprises attracted many Protestant workers and civil servants to Holte Castle. The proportion of the Protestant population in the total population of Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock is 25.0% (as of December 31, 2004).

coat of arms

The former municipality of Liemke received its coat of arms on June 24, 1938 :
