About this picture

The climatic health resort Bad Lippspringe is a district town in the northeast of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia and is located on the edge of the Teutoburg Forest in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park . The East Westphalian spa with around 16,000 inhabitants belongs to the Paderborn district and is located about eight kilometers northeast of Paderborn . The Lippspringe, which originated at the Lippe spring from which it is named , was first mentioned in 780. In 2017, the city hosted the North Rhine-Westphalia State Horticultural Show . The state horticultural show in Bad Lippspringe was the first state horticultural show in front of a forest backdrop.

geography

Geographical location

Bad Lippspringe is located on the edge of the Teutoburg Forest in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park and is a medicinal bath and climatic health resort. The karst springs of Lippe and Jordan are located in Bad Lippspringe , but they still flow into the Lippe in the urban area. There are also four healing springs (Martinus Spring, Alte Arminius Spring, New Arminius Spring and Liborius Spring) that are open to the public. Large parts of the nature reserve and Senne military training area north of Bad Lippspringe are part of the urban area.

The lowest point of the urban area is at 140 m, the highest at 334 m.

geology

The subsurface near the surface in the Bad Lippspringe area consists mainly of marl limestones from the Upper Cretaceous, which are not very tectonically disturbed . These are slightly inclined towards the interior of the Münsterland Basin , on the eastern edge of which the urban area is located. As the slope increases, these rocks are covered by the slightly younger clay marl stones of the so-called Emscher marl. Both rocks lie on a plinth of folded Devonian and Carboniferous rocks .

In the north-western flatland area belonging to the Senne military training area, the blanket mostly consists of sandy, loose rock from the Ice Age . It comes from sediments of the Lippe , Beke and Strothe and also ground moraine and meltwater sands .

The groundwater structure in the urban area is richly diversified. The top floor, used for individual supplies, is made up of meltwater sands from the Ice Age and river sands and gravel from the Lippe and Strothe. The next lower layer is a well-drained karst aquifer . The karst groundwater flowing in from the southeast reappears in the Lippe, Jordan , Beispring and Thune springs. However, it is at risk of pollution as a result of feeding from surface water and high underground flow velocities. The municipal waterworks pumped drinking water from the open karst on the market square until 1978, after which it was connected to the Paderborn waterworks due to hygienic problems.

The deepest groundwater storey consists of marl and sandstones from the Lower Cretaceous and contains highly mineralized sulphate water . It occurs in several sources (Arminiusquelle, Liborius source Martinus source, the latter with 27.8 ° C, the warmest of bad lippspringe mineral springs) to light and in the context of health cures balneologically used as medicinal waters, in the case of about 20 ° C warm Arminius spring since 1832.

In the urban area are sandy and isolated also gravel of Quaternary for use as bulk materials and construction sand and also for the production of calcium silicate blocks removed. Quaternary clay and silt were also used as raw materials for brick production.

In the western lowlands, acidic, nutrient-poor Podsol has formed over a large area, which is partially interspersed with stone in the subsoil . Soil development only begins on the dune sands, which are a few hundred years old , so regosols that are sensitive to drought and poor in nutrients appear. Gley , which are natural grassland locations, predominate in the valleys . Pseudogleye developed on the bed load clay of the ground moraine. In the east of the urban area, i.e. on the Egge and the Paderborn plateau , the marl limestones of the Upper Cretaceous have weathered to form brown earth . Medieval clearing meant that the loess , which was once widespread here, was washed away into the valleys and formed into colluvia there .

Bad Lippspringe is suitable in the populated areas to a limited extent for the use of geothermal heat sources by means of geothermal probes and for heat generation through heat pump heating . Isolated locations are not suitable (see the adjacent map).

Bad Lippspringe has belonged to the secular rule of the German diocese Paderborn , originally in the duchy of Saxony , since it was founded . From the 14th century the territory of the prince-bishopric of Paderborn ( Hochstift ) was formed in the Holy Roman Empire , and from the 16th century it was part of the Lower Rhine-Westphalian Empire . In 1802/03 the bishopric was occupied by the Kingdom of Prussia. In Napoleonic times the place was on the territory of the Kingdom of Westphalia . Bad Lippspringe has belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia since 1815 . 1945 to 1949 it was part of the British zone of occupation , since 1946 of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia .

The place was first mentioned in 780. Charlemagne calls it "Lippiogyspringiae" and held three imperial assemblies here in 776, 780 and 782 during the Saxon-Franconian War (772 to 804). At the Imperial Assembly of 782 , among other things, the Franconian county constitution was introduced in Saxony.

In 1235 the "von Lippspringe" family was first mentioned. In 1312 the Paderborn built Domkapitel the castle Lippspringe on the lip source. In the vicinity of the castle, farmers and craftsmen from the area settled. In 1445, the cathedral chapter elevated the now fortified Lippspringe settlement to a town. After numerous feuds and the resulting damage, the castle was renovated and re-fortified in 1482, as well as in 1665 after severe destruction in the Thirty Years War (1618 to 1648). During the Seven Years' War (1756 to 1763) the castle was badly damaged again, so that in 1785 the last inhabited building of the castle had to be abandoned. Today it is only a ruin.

In 1801, in the Treaty of Lunéville , France received the German territories on the left bank of the Rhine. Prussia was for its possessions there a. a. compensated with the duchy of Paderborn. The cathedral chapter also lost its property in Lippspringe, which initially came under the Prussian domain administration and was later sold to private individuals.

In 1832 the Arminius Spring was discovered by chance as the first healing spring . Until then, it was mistakenly considered a secondary source of the lip .

Like all Prussian towns with fewer than 2,500 inhabitants, Lippspringe lost its town charter in 1843 .

In 1913 the place was officially named "Bad Lippspringe" and in 1921 it regained city rights. In 1962 the Martinus spring was drilled in the Kurwald. Today it supplies the thermal outdoor pool, the Westfalen-Therme , the indoor pool, the therapy center Martinus-Quelle with the exercise pool and the drinking hall in the Kaiser-Karls-Park. According to the new health resort law of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia , Bad Lippspringe became a "state-approved spa" in 1975. In 1980 the place was recognized as a " climatic health resort ".

As part of the Expo Initiative Ostwestfalen-Lippe , the allergy trail and communication park were built in 2000. In addition, the fog meadow on the Jordan was created to create an area with reduced pollen count for allergy sufferers.

In December 1923 the Mechanische Weberei GmbH was founded here, which in 1957 was "Europe's largest special factory for projection screens". For the first time, woven canvas was coated with glass beads (23 million / m 2 ). Production was relocated to Červený Kostelec , Bohemia, Czech Republic in 1991/1992 , where the mechanical weaving mill Bohemia sro produces again under the “MW” brand.

Religions

Catholic parish church of St. Martin
Catholic Sankt-Marien-Kirche in Bad Lippspringe

Due to its affiliation to the former Paderborn Monastery, the population in Bad Lippspringe is traditionally predominantly Catholic .

With donations and 3,100 Reichstalers from the state treasury, a school and a church, consecrated on July 17, 1846, were built and a church tower was added in 1859. From 1850 there were auxiliary preachers in the city, in 1864 the first parish priest was introduced. In the same year, the church had to be expanded due to the growth of the community, and again in 1900 due to the increasing spa business.

In addition, there is the Christian community in Bad Lippspringe , a free -church , Protestant-Reformed community.

The community was granted city rights around 1445. Nevertheless, a coat of arms is only known in 1623. This already showed three crosses, which presumably came from the coat of arms of Paderborn. In the 18th century the colors changed to today's. The current coat of arms was approved when the city was recognized as a bath.

Town twinning

The friendship between Bad Lippspringe and Templin in Brandenburg existed even before the reunification of Germany . On September 1, 1990, the city friendship certificate was signed.

The Kolping Musikverein has around 60 musicians and plays marches and modern light music . The music train of the volunteer fire brigade trains young people and adults on instruments. They play at festivals and their own concerts. The marching band of the volunteer fire brigade consists of 40 musicians.

Buildings

Gut Dedinghausen is located at Dedinghauser Weg 10 . This was first mentioned in 1036. Some buildings date from the beginning of the 17th to the 19th century. Two decorated chimney cheeks were built in the manor house around 1600.

The mighty residential building of Lippspringe Castle (ruin) at the Lippequellen probably dates from the 13th or 14th century. In 1785 the already dilapidated castle was finally given up.

In 1696 there was a wayside shrine with a Pietà in Bad Lippspringe . Later the linden chapel was built around the holy house, the back wall of which was formed by the wayside shrine.

The Catholic Marienkapelle is a three-bay hall building from 1842.

The Protestant parish church was built on Detmolder Strasse from 1845 to 1846 . The tower dates from 1859, the side aisles were not added until 1899–1900. In 2005 the church was renovated and the interior redesigned.

The Catholic parish church of St. Martin is a neo-Gothic hall church and was built in 1899/1900. The west tower, which is essentially Romanesque, is provided with a Renaissance portal, above which there is a relief of Martin from 1600. The historical furnishings are almost completely preserved.

The so-called Prinzenpalais in Arminiuspark is a villa-like classicist spa house from 1853 to 1854.

The listed well house of the Liborius mineral spring is also worth seeing

In the south and west of the city center, in the area of ​​the street An der Stadtmauer , longer sections of the city ​​wall built around 1380 have been preserved, some of which are built into houses. The wall was about 6 meters high and was largely removed around 1800. In the southeast of the fortification there is the stump of a round wall tower , which can be seen from Steinbekestraße. In the northeast corner there was a tower about 10 meters high, the foundation walls of which were exposed between 2006 and 2008 and then rebuilt.

The Brother Klaus Peace Chapel , consecrated to St. Niklaus von Flüe , is located in the Kurwald .

There are four designated parks in Bad Lippspringe. These are the Arminius and Jordan parks, which are directly adjacent to each other and only separated by a street. They are open to the public and have a total size of around 6.5  hectares . Both green areas enjoy great public popularity and serve as a meeting point. The Jordan Park is home to the eponymous Jordan spring and has a more forest-like character. There is also a water playground for children here. The Arminiuspark, located south of Jordanpark, has a large lawn and has more of a park character. Part of the North Rhine-Westphalia State Horticultural Show will also take place here in 2017 . Due to the work required for this, the paths at and in Arminiuspark will be temporarily closed in isolated cases until then. The Arminiuspark was created in the 1840s and was designed by the Paderborn art gardener Nölting in the style of an English landscape garden. He used plans by the famous horticultural director Peter Joseph Lenné and his students as a model. The park is in the immediate vicinity of the Lippe spring and the town's castle ruins. The former Kurhaus, now known as the Prince's Palace, is also located here . The so-called Nebelwiese can also be found in Arminius Park . Towering tubes occasionally distribute artificially generated fog. This is intended to demonstrate to visitors the reduction in pollen counts in damp weather.

The Kaiser-Karls-Park , a spa park with water fountains, many flower beds and rare trees, was laid out from 1951, as Arminius and Jordan parks had been confiscated by the British armed forces as a result of the war. The park was named after Charlemagne , who already stayed in "Lippiogyspringiae in Saxonia". The facility was open to the public and was around four hectares in size. With flower beds, ornamental shrubs and evergreen trees, the park was laid out as a pleasure garden in contrast to the Arminius Park and initiated a new beginning of the spa business. In the course of the construction work for the State Garden Show 2017, the park was closed and is currently being prepared for the Garden Show. In combination with the adjacent spa forest, a realignment of the planting concept is being implemented.

The spa forest mentioned above borders the urban area to the north and is about 200 hectares in size. It was created at the beginning of the 19th century to stop the moving dune approaching from the Senne . For this, more pines were planted and the dunes were reshaped and strengthened. In this mixed pine forest, a pleasant forest climate developed, which was later used at the wedding of the spa to allow the patients to linger in so-called reclining halls. A copy of these historical lounge halls still exists today. This forest backdrop will also be part of the state horticultural show in 2017. The forest is currently partially closed for work. The network of paths is being renewed, clearings have been made in the forest and play stations for children, which will remain after the garden show, have been built.

Another park in the urban area with approx. Nine hectares is located directly at the Auguste-Victoria-Stift . This clinic park is also open to the public.

Planet path

Model of Saturn in Bad Lippspringe

In Arminius Park near the Prinzenpalais, a 6 km long planetary path begins with the model of the sun on a scale of 1: 1 billion. Both the distances and the sizes of the celestial body models are shown on this scale. The educational trail was sponsored by the Ostwestfalen-Lippe Planetarium Society . It is one of the most beautiful and varied planetary trails in Germany.

Protection designations for nature
