Lippholthausen is a district or statistical district of Lünen (North Rhine-Westphalia), which was incorporated on July 1, 1914. It belongs to the district 1282 Lippholthausen .

The place became famous in the 18th century for a spring that was thought to have healing powers (Gesundbrunnen). The entrepreneur Friedrich Gockel built a bathhouse above it, but this was demolished in 1886 after the source had lost its importance. Today the so-called Villa Bonin is on the spot. At that time there was also a casino for the more affluent society. C. Hengstenberg wrote poetically about Lünen and Lippholthausen in 1819:

Where next to sand, with tobacco, pastures green,
the cattle crowd a happy stay,
lies on the Zesike (Seseke) and Lippe Lünen
Not far from a bath in the oak forest.

Since the construction of the Datteln-Hamm Canal at the beginning of the 20th century, the Lippholthausen district has been located between two bodies of water: the canal forms its borders in the west and the Lippe in the east . The Zum Lüner Brunnen restaurant was opened at the beginning of the 20th century . The landlord later set up a paddle boat rental at the nearby mill pond, which contributed to Lippholthausen becoming a popular excursion destination for Lüner citizens. Among other things, the excursion boats Tante Martha and Lünen ran on the Lippe between Lippholthausen and Lünen from 1926 to 1936 .

Today little reminds of the "Bad" Lippholthausen. Exceptions are the (closed) restaurant, Villa Bonin and the old castle mill, mentioned for the first time in 1535, which was saved from decay by a citizens' initiative in recent years and which is now run by the “Verein der Mühlenfreunde e. V. “is cared for and maintained. Many bridal couples use the romantic location for their wedding ceremony.

In the post-war years, many industrial plants were built in the industrial area of ​​Frydagstraße. The Stummhafen between Brambauer and Lippholthausen is located on the Datteln-Hamm Canal , named after the Stumm brothers , who were involved in the Minister Achenbach colliery . On the opposite side of the harbor basin from Grün lies the ruins of Haus Wilhaben , a former moated castle, the residents of which were connected to the Buddenburg. The Buddenburg house was first mentioned in 1293, built by the brothers Gottschalk and Gottfried Budde, who soon had to demolish their castle at the behest of Count von der Mark. In 1338 a new castle was built, its owner was Evert Vridach. When the last Baron von Frydag died in 1902, the property was taken over by his nephew Udo von Rüxleben . When Lippholthausen was incorporated into Lünen in 1914, the city acquired the property. On January 10, 1934, the city of Lünen leased the castle to the National Socialists, who turned it into a district school for the German labor service. For the opening on June 29, 1934, Adolf Hitler came to Lippholthausen and took the parade on the large flight of stairs. Soon the labor service was becoming increasingly militarized. Not far from the training facility on the Lippe, a shooting range was built on Moltkestrasse. After the end of the Second World War, the castle initially housed a special school for ethnic German repatriates, then a master school for the craftsmanship of the Werkkunstschule Dortmund . In 1977 the dilapidated buildings were completely removed. Today a privet hedge is reminiscent of the building's layout.

From 1938 to 1941 a coal-fired power station was built in Lippoltshausen , which was expanded after the Second World War and also received traction current generators. In 1968 the 250 meter high chimney, which still exists today, was built for this plant.

At the Stummhafen, in addition to the Microca company, the Trianel coal-fired power plant was built on an industrial wasteland since the end of 2008 , which wrote European legal history during its construction and which went online in the second half of 2013. The silent harbor was built in the 1920s for the Minister Achenbach colliery to transport coal. The bauxite for the Lippewerk aluminum smelter was later landed here. This was built together with the neighboring power station from 1936 to 1938. Aluminum production was stopped in the mid-1980s. Later, the Rethmann company took over the entire factory premises and developed Europe's largest recycling location under the current name of Remondis . The coal-fired power station, which belonged to the Steag company , was modernized and expanded in several phases; In 1969 a new cooling tower went into operation. By the end of 2018, two blocks had supplied electricity to the grid; then the power station was shut down.

Lippholthausen is the smallest district of Lünen in terms of inhabitants. There is no continuous residential development or a town center. The individual residential buildings are distributed over the entire area of ​​the district. In addition to individual farms, there are also isolated houses within the industrial park.

In 1987 the district Lippholthausen had a total of 193 inhabitants.

The most important street in Lippholthausen and also the access for the Lippewerk / Remondis and the harbor is Brunnenstraße , which connects Lippholthausen in the west with Waltrop as K 1 and in the south (not classified) with Brambauer. The second important street is Moltkestraße, which connects Lippholthausen as K 1 with Lünen-Mitte. All other roads either lead off of the two mentioned or are reserved for pedestrian / bicycle traffic. In addition, a busy Deutsche Bahn freight line ( Hamm-Osterfelder Bahn ) runs through the center of the district .
