history

The municipality of Lippetal was created by the municipal reorganization on July 1, 1969. The community emerged from eleven villages from the Soest and Beckum districts . In the course of this territorial reform, the entire district of Soest, to which the municipality of Lippetal was assigned, was reorganized. The name "Lippetal" was the planning name for this municipality in 1969. It has not been changed as in most of the surrounding communities.

In the north of Lippetal on the edge of the Beckum Mountains, there is a fortification known as a Germanic camp, which consists of earth walls.

Places such as Oestinghausen (first mentioned in 1189), Lippborg (first mentioned in 1189), Hovestadt (first mentioned in 1213) and the pilgrimage site of Herzfeld (first mentioned in 786 ) are the oldest settlements in Lippetal.

Hovestadt Castle, which secures the transition over the Lippe , was first mentioned in a document in 1292. Due to its strategic location, the castle was destroyed and rebuilt several times during the Middle Ages. The castle, located as a moated castle directly on the Lippe, was built from 1563 and has been repeatedly changed and expanded to its present form.
