Chronology of the history of Lipperode

Lipperode is one of the countries of origin of the noble lords of the Lippe, who were first mentioned in 1123 with the brothers Hermann and Bernhard I. The rise of those to the Lippe began with Bernhard II (around 1140-1224), his son Hermann II († 1229) and his grandson Bernhard III. († 1265). The first documented mention of the place name can be traced back to the year 1248; With dimensions of 20 m × 22 m, there was one of the largest residential towers in East Westphalia at Lipperode Castle . In 1305 the knight was Lof Burgmann . In 1344 Lipperode fell through the division of the country to Bernhard V. zur Lippe . After the death of Bernhard V, his son-in-law Otto von Tecklenburg occupied the castles of Rheda and Lipperode and the city of Lippe , today Lippstadt, in 1364 . This resulted in the thirty-year Tecklenburg feud.

During the Eversteiner feud , which lasted until 1456 , Lipperode was devastated in 1408. In 1413 there was evidence of a free court at the "Wendische Specken" (today "Free Chair") on the border between Lipperode / Mastholte / Westenholz. In 1467 there was a big fief day in Lipperode . In 1503 Schnatsteine ( boundary stones ) to the Paderborn region ( Niederdedinghausen ) were set. In 1511 Simon V. zur Lippe moved into Lipperode together with the Paderborn bishop Erich . The Landgrave of Hesse obtained complete feudal rule over Lippe in 1517. In 1556 the Rietberg feud began. In 1589 the castle bailiwick was ended and from then on the administration was carried out by bailiffs .

General Johann van Rijswijck submitted plans for a fortress in 1600. One of the largest fortresses in East Westphalia was built by 1610. In 1604 the houses near the castle (today: near the bridge over the Merschgraben) were demolished and rebuilt on today's Bismarckstrasse. In 1612 a station of the Thurn and Taxis Post Office was set up at today's Gasthaus Voss. The garrison already comprised 30 men, but was disbanded in 1616. In that year the demolition of the fortress began. Lipperode fell through the fragmentation of the County of Lippe as a result of the will of Count Simon VI, who died in 1613. of the Lippe-Alverdissen . It was not until the 18th century that the Lipperode office was reunited with the Detmold line.

In 1621 Duke Christian von Braunschweig (the "great Christian") seized the castle. In 1623, Spanish troops stood in front of Lippstadt and tried to divert the Lippe above Lipperodes and the castle on the Nigge (field name for New Lippe). The Spanish Graben was created, as is indicated today by the path name Neuer Bruch.

In 1648 there was already a school in Lipperode. In 1676 the Dorfkrug, today's Gasthof Voss, received the brewing privilege. In 1681 and 1735 the village was flooded. In 1748 Lipperode fell back to Lippe-Detmold with the Stadthagen settlement. In 1756 a slight earthquake was detected in Lipperode. In 1764 a dam was built south of the village to prevent flooding from the Lippe.

In 1789 all family members of the Counts of Lippe received the title of prince and Lippe became a principality.

In 1813 the French plundered the village, later quarters had to be created for 7143 Prussian soldiers. A new synagogue was built in 1817. In 1831 the place was ravaged by cholera, which claimed several lives; In 1865 a typhoid epidemic took its toll. From 1838 to 1851, lawn iron ore was mined in Lipperode . In 1870 the previous common land , the new break, was divided up. The town has had its first paved road since 1880. In 1886 Lipperode and Cappel became an office in the Principality of Lippe . The great Katharinen flood caused the dam to break in 1890 and the village was flooded again. The Lippe-Detmold family line died out in 1905. After the succession controversy in Lippe, the Lippe-Biesterfeld line followed in 1895. The sovereign Prince Leopold IV. Zur Lippe and Princess Berta visited Lipperode in 1910. In 1918 the prince abdicated and a people's and soldiers' council followed, which was replaced in 1919 by a state government. Lipperode thus belonged to the Free State of Lippe. In 1928 Lipperode became an independent municipality and joined the Detmold district . During the so-called Reichspogromnacht in 1938, the Lipperod synagogue remained. In 1944, 22 houses were destroyed in an air raid. On April 1, 1945, Easter Sunday, American soldiers occupied the village. In February 1946 the dike broke again and the village was hit by a major flood. With effect from January 21, 1947, the state of Lippe was incorporated into the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Lipperode was spun off from the Detmold district in 1949 and became an independent municipality in the Lippstadt district. In 1952, polio broke out in Lipperode. As a result of the epidemic, Lipperode was the first municipality in the old district of Lippstadt to be completely canalized in 1955. In 1965, the dike broke again during the Heinrich flood with a major flood. This led to a reinforcement of the dike, which was completed in 1974.

On January 1, 1975 Lipperode lost its independence and became a district of Lippstadt against the will of the local council.

Free chair

The "free chair" between Lipperode, Westenholz and Mastholte

A triangular stone stands on a sand hill to the left of the Boker-Heide Canal , on the border between Lipperodes, Westenholz and Mastholte , right next to the restaurant “Zum Freien Stuhl”. It has three different coats of arms: the Lippe rose, the eagle with the letters WAGZR, d. H. Wenzel August Graf zu Rietberg and a diamond coat of arms with the Bavarian lion and the letters CABZP, d. H. Clemens August , Bishop of Paderborn. The stone marks the place of the former "Freystuhl". In 1565 the Count of Waldeck was told that the "Wendish Specks" in Lipperode had three vacant chairs from ancient times that belonged to Paderborn, Rietberg and Lippe ("Wendish Specks" means that a piece of land is here to Wend, which is in a swampy area). In the Middle Ages, a free court met here that only negotiated over or against "free", including counts and other sovereigns. This court was not responsible for dependents and serfs (the so-called Gogericht was responsible for these ). The task of the free chair court was the notarization of changes of ownership of land, donations, claims and obligations from a farm property. This is done today by the officially appointed notary. The “freye chair” was mentioned for the last time on May 4, 1771 by Count Philipp Ernst zu Lippe-Alverdissen in a petition to Elector Max Friedrich of Cologne .

The Spanish Trench

In 1621, Duke Christian von Braunschweig-Lüneburg had taken the Lipperod fortress and had also marched into Lippstadt, which he left on May 15, 1622. Lippstadt was besieged again in 1623 by an army of allied Spaniards and Palatinate-Neuburgers who were in Spanish service. There is a copper engraving from this period with the oldest known depiction of the Lipperod fortress. After the siege was carried out with only moderate success, but with relatively high losses, the Count of East Friesland ordered the beleaguered Lippstadt residents to dig away the protective water by diverting the Lippe. A deep trench was dug from the Lippe above Lipperodes (on the border to Niederdedinghausen - today's field name: Nigge (Neue) Lippe) through the break and wanted to let it flow into the Glenne, a small tributary of the Lippe, below Lippstadt. But the project failed because the diverted water masses caused the sandy banks to collapse and many workers drowned. The waymarking in Bruch Am Spanischen Graben still reminds of this today.

Ore mining

For a long time the events in the years 1837-1851 were completely forgotten. During this time, the so-called lawn iron ore was mined in three “washes” . This is the name given to the ore that occurs in river valleys, also known as meadow ore, swamp iron ore ore. It is excreted from the ferrous groundwater in moors and swamps and is a different type of brown iron ore ( limonite ). The ore actually had no value; the price was determined by wages and transport costs. The ore was dug up, cleaned of dirt in large wooden “washes”, loaded in barrels and transported by carts to the Lippstadt harbor (located at today's tax office). From here it went by ship on barges to the ironworks Westphalia (Wehrenbold & Co.) in Lünen and was smelted there. The ore was used to make ovens, stoves and pots. The ore mining brought work to many people in Lipperod, as this was preferred when it came to awarding jobs. The attentive hiker can still see today that iron occurs in Lipperode. In the trenches, the surface shimmers colorfully when the water is standing still. This is not contamination by oil: The coating is created by dissolved iron, which is also deposited as brown "sour cream" on plants and roots at the edges of the ditch.

The captured French war chest

The story of the stolen French war chest stayed in Lipperode for a long time. When the French army withdrew from Russia under Napoleon I in 1813, the soldiers are said to have spent the night in the Dorfkrug zu Lipperode (today: Altes Gasthaus Voss). In the evening they are said to have sat together with some Lipperodern in the inn and drank. The war chest is said to have been stolen from them and hidden in the village. Some villagers told this about 190 years later and also showed the places where, according to family tradition, this hiding place should have been.

But what actually happened? In December 1812, parts of the French army and also the Lippe battalion were on the retreat from Kovno (place in southern Lithuania) via Gumbinen to Tilsit. It was winter and of course very cold, the streets were slippery and dirty, and the escape was not very organized. In this mess there were also a number of wagons with the French war chest. The exhausted horses failed to pull the wagons up a steep hill. The wagons were left behind. The Lippers felt sorry for this, of course, and they saved two or three wagons that were transported on under guard. The first car included soldiers Seiger and Veit (Feith) from Lipperode. On the way they were attacked by the French and the money wagons looted. In an unobserved moment, the guards captured a keg with 100,000 double Napoleon d'or, divided the amount and kept it. In another battle they lost the soldier Veit, whom one never saw again. The remaining part of the war chest was delivered to the Lippe government in Detmold via Captain Falckmann. This emerges from a letter from Corporal Seiger dated August 22, 1814 to the High Princely Guardian Government in Detmold. The captain was sued at the High Prince's Military Court for a claim of 500 gold guilders. The soldier and later Corporal Seiger was apparently the tailor Friedrich Andreas Seiger, born on July 19, 1792, from Lipperode No. 40, the second son of Johann Diedrich Martin Seiger, who worked as a fusilier in the 3rd Landwehr Company served under Lieutenant Klostermeier.

religion

Catholic Church of St. Michael

The Catholic community

In 1257 a Johannes Capellanus von Lipperothe was mentioned in the documents. This was obviously the priest of the castle. A first church was mentioned in 1400 and a rectory in 1410. According to old maps, the church and cemetery of the old village were located where the street Zum Alten Kirchhof is today. Later, around 1621, the church was demolished here and built on the site of the current Evangelical Reformed church. During the Reformation period (from 1555) all residents accepted the Evangelical Lutheran creed. The first Catholic was not mentioned again until 1663. In 1862 a chapel was built on what is now the property on Sandstrasse and replaced in 1904 by the St. Michael's Church, which still exists today. Today 2222 (December 31, 2010; December 31, 2012 = 2189) residents are Catholic.

The Evangelical Reformed Congregation

The Evangelical Reformed Church in Lipperode

In 1555 the Reformation came to Lipperode. Under the influence of the Landgraves of Hesse, the Count of the Lippe first adopted the Evangelical Lutheran Confession and Simon VI. (1563–1613) introduced the Evangelical Reformed teaching from 1605. Today over 1000 residents are Protestant. In 1866 the old church was demolished and the church that exists today was built on Bismarckstrasse. Thanks to the initiative of Pastor Martin Hülsemann, a school was built around 1901 and a Protestant kindergarten in 1906.

The church was reorganized on January 1, 1976. At this point in time, the parish left the Lippe regional church and became a member of the Soest parish and the Evangelical Church of Westphalia . In addition to a major renovation of the church, the parish hall was extensively modernized and expanded in 1987. Today it serves the meeting of many church groups. Today 1274 (December 31, 2010; December 31, 2012 = 1261) residents are Protestant.

The Jewish community

Entrance to the Lipperode Jewish cemetery

The first Jewish family lived in Lipperode as early as 1590. A synagogue was first mentioned in 1773. At that time there was already a cemetery for this Jewish community , as the oldest surviving tombstone dates from 1771. A schoolmaster Moses was mentioned in the archive records in 1788. So there was also a Jewish school in which the children learned the Torah . The synagogue is one of the few synagogues that was not destroyed during the pogrom night on November 9, 1938, although the SA was ready. Obviously the order to execute was not given. The synagogue was sold to the community in 1939 and converted into a residential building in 1949. The last four Jewish families with 13 people living in Lipperode emigrated to Argentina in 1938.

Worth seeing

The remains of the old fortress ( Lipperode Castle ) near the Lippe are worth visiting . In 1985 the old five-pointed castle star was partially reconstructed. A “star point” was rebuilt, the rest of the fence was represented by dug trenches. The viewer gains an impression of the largest fortress in East Westphalia around 1610. The Alte Gasthaus Voss is located on Lippestrasse near the Catholic Church . This old half-timbered village jug has existed since the 16th century. Around 1612 there was a Thurn and Taxis post office here. The mail on horseback took ten and a half hours to Detmold Castle, the seat of the sovereign. In the Catholic parish church there is a small war memorial chapel on the right in front of the choir, which was built in 1920 under the direction of the diocesan master builder Matern. On the front wall there is a relief carved in sandstone depicting the Holy Family with two kneeling soldiers. It is the work of the Wiedenbrücker sculptor Mormann. The Evangelical Reformed church received a Renaissance pulpit from around 1600/1610, which was bought by the Marienkirche in Lippstadt for 50 Reichstaler. The depictions of the four evangelists at the pulpit decorated with ornaments are a remarkable painting.

Infrastructure

There are two kindergartens in Lipperode, a primary school and a secondary school. There are various clubs with offers for all age groups. There is a grocery store for local supplies. Medical care is provided by a doctor and a dental practice. There is also a facility for the disabled with a workshop and living quarters.

Nature and leisure

In the north, Lipperode is bounded by a large nature and landscape conservation area that can be explored on marked trails. At the Zachariassee , a resting and breeding place for numerous bird species, there is an observation hut. Adjacent to the east to get to the 23 hectares large Alberssee , a quarry, one of the Lippstädter sailing areas with natural swimming pool at the south end. In the south, the Lippe, with its meadows and meadows, is the natural boundary. This area is also crossed by nature protection zones (biotopes). In the southwest there is an urban forest area, the Bellevue (= beautiful view), which many athletes and walkers use to relax. There is also a small forest area in the northeast, which is also delimited by biotope zones. The Boker-Heide-Kanal forms another border to the Lippstadt area. There is also another quarry pond, Margaretensee , with a campsite. There are hiking and cycling trails around Lipperode.

Others

Muckeburg

Lipperode and the Lipperöder also have a nickname, namely "Muckeburg" and "Muckeburger". The song is often sung by the “Muckeburg Boys” at village festivals or other social occasions. The word "castle" probably comes from the moated castle built in Lipperode and formerly the largest fortress in East Westphalia, which was built here by the noblemen of the Lippe. Originally, in letters from the former Princely Lippe government in Detmold, the residents of Lipperode were named as "Muckeburen", according to which predominantly farmers or colonists who paid interest were resident in Lipperode. The meaning of the word "Mucke" is more difficult to clarify. On the one hand it could be derived from the word Mücke = Old High German "Mucke". On the other hand, it could be related to the original swamp and moor landscape. The top layers of the peat are also called "Mucken", Low German "Miucken". Since the Lipperoder Kolonen used this peat layer as fertilizer, the name "Muckeburen" is understandable. The name "Muckenbruch", which still exists today, gives an example for the local recreation area in the Erwitte-Bad Westernkotten health resort.

The Römer-Lippe cycle route

The Römer-Lippe-Route is a 479 km long long-distance cycle path. The route leads from the Hermannsdenkmal near Detmold along the Lippe to Xanten. The route leads over the Lipperodes area partly directly along the Lippe. The Romans went upriver with their ships specially built for the flat lip to subdue the resident Germanic tribes.
