history
(compiled including the historical overview panels of the Liesborn Abbey without claim to completeness)
The area around Liesborn was settled as early as the Stone Age, as evidenced by stone tool finds and burial mounds near Nölke east of the Glenne. Before the turn of the ages , the Germanic people of the Brukterer lived in the Münsterland, around the turn of the ages the little Hellweg on the Lippe in Göttingen was a "Roman road". A large Roman camp (approx. 10 hectares) is believed to have existed in the vicinity of Haus Heerfeld for the period up to 9 AD .
There were probably many courtyards in the area before 784, and the Liesborn baptistery with its large baptismal district probably already existed. There is evidence of a battle between Saxony and Franconia on the Lippe in Suderlage 784. A women's monastery was founded around 799, probably by Charlemagne and Pope Leo III. Roswindis became the first abbess around 800, later known as St. Roswitha von Liesborn. At that time, a Simeons relic and a Holy Cross relic came to Liesborn. In the 10th century the Liesborn Gospels and the first Simeons shrine were donated.
Liesborn was first mentioned in a document in 1019 (Emperor Heinrich II). Today's church tower was built over the grave of St. Roswitha around 1100. Troops of the later emperor Lothar von Supplinburg devastated the monastery buildings in 1121. Ten years later, the women's convent was converted into a Benedictine monastery. The Liesborn altar and lecture cross was donated around 1150. A fire destroyed the monastery and church in 1353, and reconstruction of the church began five years later. The high altar and the four side altars could be consecrated in 1465.
In 1465 there was also a connection to the Bursfeld congregation. The Liesborn Tower Monstrance was donated around 1480. 1480–1484 created the “Master of Liesborn” the “Liesborn Altar”. Chronicler Bernhard Witte wrote the "Historia Westphaliae" from 1490–1520. The order for a Doxale ( rood screen , gallery) has been handed down from 1505 . The general chapter of the Bursfeld congregation met for the first time in Liesborn in 1556.
Large parts of the abbey were built in 1724–1751. Liesborn celebrated the 1000th anniversary of the town in 1783 with 3000 guests. In the course of secularization, the Liesborn monastery was closed in 1803. The Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. then gave the abbey church to the Liesborn parish in 1820. Demolition work on large parts of the abbey began in 1821.
The Liesborn office (Herzfeld, Diestedde, Wadersloh, Liesborn) was founded in 1841, and three years later it was divided into the Liesborn and Wadersloh offices. The Liesborn train station was opened in 1898. In 1900 brine springs were found in Waldliesborn during mutation drilling . In 1912 the Liesborn hospital was completed. The two offices were reunited in 1931 under the name "Liesborn-Wadersloh". In 1965 the anniversary celebration “500 years of the Liesborner Altar” was celebrated. The abbey buildings have been used as the district home museum since 1966.
On January 1, 1975, the new municipality of Wadersloh was formed from the previous municipalities of Wadersloh, Diestedde and Liesborn, separating from Bad Waldliesborn.
As part of the Regionale 2004, the museum was expanded.
