Lippstadt ( ) is a large city in North Rhine-Westphalia that has been part of the Soest district since 1975 . It was in 1185 as a planned city founded and is the oldest founding city of Westphalia . Lippstadt is about 60 kilometers east of Dortmund , 40 kilometers south of Bielefeld and 30 kilometers west of Paderborn .
geography
Geographical location
Lippstadt is the largest city in the Soest district. It is located on the Lippe River in the northeastern part of the district between the Haarstrang to the south and the Münsterland and Paderborner Land and borders on the neighboring districts of Paderborn , Warendorf and Gütersloh .
Neighboring communities
Within the Soest district lies the town of Geseke to the east, the town of Erwitte to the south, the municipality of Bad Sassendorf to the southwest and the municipality of Lippetal to the west . Moving clockwise, the municipality of Wadersloh , which belongs to the district of Warendorf , the municipality of Langenberg , which belongs to the district of Gütersloh, and the city of Rietberg and the cities of Delbrück and Salzkotten, which belong to the district of Paderborn, represent the neighbors.
City structure
- Bad Waldliesborn is a state-approved spa . The place goes back to a part of the Suderlage farmers who belonged to the independent municipality of Liesborn until 1975 . The current name has been valid since May 1, 1913. Before 1975, the municipality of Liesborn belonged to the Beckum district (today it is largely the Warendorf district ). It owes its importance as a spa to the thermal brine springs , which have made it a renowned center for cardiac and rheumatic rehabilitation .
- Cappel can hardly be separated from the core town of Lippstadt and goes into it especially through an inner-city industrial area ( Hella KGaA Hueck & Co. Plant 2, Rothe Erde). The Premonstratensian monastery , which was built in 1139 at the latest, and later the Protestant, free-worldly women's monastery at Cappel , is significant for the place ; politically it was not affiliated with the then Lippstadt district until 1949.
- Like Cappel, Lipperode represented one of the last parts of Lippstadt, which belonged to the Detmold district as an exclave until 1949 and was only then incorporated into the Lippstadt district. There are no reliable sources for the legend that Lipperode is the place of origin of the city founders of Lippstadt. The actual Lipperode Castle was not built until 1248. The servants of this moated castle formed the original population of Lipperode.
- Eickelborn is particularly shaped by the LWL Center for Forensic Psychiatry of the Regional Association of Westphalia-Lippe (LWL). The local history goes back to the year 1262 and begins with the manor of the Lords of Ekeneberne.
- Benninghausen , which adjoins Eickelborn to the east, also houses a psychiatric facility, the LWL-Klinik Lippstadt . The village was mentioned for the first time in the 9th century, but gained importance through a Cistercian monastery built in 1240 , which was converted into a rural poor house in 1820 and forms the basis for today's psychiatric clinic.
- Lohe originally represented a suburb of the Benninghausen monastery and is still very rural today. It was first mentioned in 1313 as "Ruversloh". The Menninghof was first mentioned around 1500 and is one of the oldest farms in the area.
- Hellinghausen is upstream of Lippstadt in the west. Based on a legend about a “petrified bread”, this place, founded in the parish Friedhardtskirchen in 1235, was one of the religious attractions of the area in the Middle Ages.
- Herringhausen also belonged to Friedhardtskirchen. Herringhausen Castle , located a little away from the town center, was built between 1720 and 1730 and has served as a mansion for the von Schorlemer family since the 15th century .
- Overhagen has almost merged with this on the west side of Lippstadt. This place also originally belonged to the parish Friedhardtskirchen. The centrally located Moated Castle Overhagen now houses a state-approved private high school and a small theater .
- Esbeck is located on the left bank of the Lippe and is mentioned for the first time in 1036 in the Busdorf document as "Ebike, which is near Hörste". The liberation of the peasants by Freiherr vom Stein in 1807 is important for the history of Esbeck .
- Dedinghausen was probably founded in the first half of the 9th century by a brother of Bishop Altfrid von Hildesheim and also has its own church. Besides Lippstadt itself, it is the only place in the municipality with a DB stop (line RB 89).
- Rixbeck is located directly on the east side of Lippstadt and is interlinked with it through an industrial area. A small hilly landscape, the " Rixbeck Alps ", characterizes the townscape.
- Hörste is a village that probably emerged in 981 from an old Saxon settlement on the Lippe. Hörstes parish church St. Martinus has existed since the middle of the 12th century.
- Garfeln , formerly part of the Büren district , was first mentioned in a document in 1248. The place is strongly rural and does not have its own church.
- Rebbeke is opposite the Hörste an der Lippe district. It is a strongly agricultural district to which the Drubbel Mettinghausen and Niederdedinghausen also belong. The first farming families in Rebbeke have been recorded since 1653.
- Bökenförde is located in the southeast of the city and is a former property of the Paderborn diocese with a mill and church. The parish church of St. Dionysius was built in the 12th century; it has been a place of pilgrimage since 1719, just like the field chapel built in 1864 on the "Brünneken". The moated castle Schwarzenraben , which belongs to Bökenförde and was built in 1765 by Johann Matthias Kitz , is well known.
- Lipperbruch is the youngest town in Lippstadt. It was created in the vicinity of the former air base after the Second World War from former barracks and some rural sideline farms. At the beginning the population of Lipperbruch consisted mainly of war refugees , displaced persons and soldier families who had become resident. In the meantime there was again a barracks, which was built north of the air force barracks, on the former airfield, by the British occupation troops and was taken over by the Bundeswehr as Lipperland barracks from 1958 . Parts of Airborne Brigade 27 were stationed there until the early 1990s . After the end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the 1st Airborne Division , the 801 transport battalion moved into the barracks. As part of the restructuring of the Bundeswehr , the barracks were closed in 2007. Around half of the former Bundeswehr barracks is used commercially, and residential developments have been under construction in the southern part since 2014. The private grammar school and the vocational college Marienschule are located in the core of Lipperbruch .
history
Lippstadt was founded in 1184 or 1185 (the exact year of foundation is not known for sure) by the nobleman Bernhard II zur Lippe under the name Lippe as the first real planned town in Westphalia. Bernhard received permission to build the city from Emperor Friedrich I , known as Barbarossa.
First settlement approaches
Even before this foundation, however, there were first settlements in today's urban area; In particular, today's Nicolaiviertel and the previous building of today's Nicolaikirche were important as a settlement for merchants and as a market district. This importance stems from the location the city on the Lippefurt had for trade in Germany: It was at the intersection of the trade route between Frankfurt am Main and Lübeck and the road between Paderborn and Münster . There are also assumptions that a moated castle belonging to the Lords of Lippe has been in the northwestern area of the city since 1120 , but there is no archaeological evidence for this. The Premonstratensian monastery was founded by Bernhard I and his brother Hermann I in what is now the Cappel district in 1139 . The assumption that the ancestral seat of the noble lords of the Lippe was in Lipperode an der Lippe Castle , northeast of today's core city, is considered to be refuted. The castle there was built just before it was first mentioned in a document in 1248, long after the city was founded. It is assumed that Bernhard II resided in the monastery he founded or in the immediate vicinity.
In the course of the Saxon War (1177 to 1181), the parts of the settlement that already existed, especially the Nikolaiviertel and the church there, were destroyed by the troops of Cologne Archbishop Philip I von Heinsberg in 1179, who thus supported the troops by Henry the lion by Bernhard II. wanted to get revenge. After the exile of the Duke of Saxony and the return of Bernhard II, he succeeded in 1184 in obtaining permission from Emperor Friedrich I to build a town. In 1185 Bernhard II founded the city of Lippe, which is known today as Lippstadt .
Foundation and city development
Bernhard II planned his founding city based on the models Braunschweig and Heidelberg , which he was able to study during the Saxon War. The Nicolaiviertel, which was in the process of being rebuilt, was not included in this plan and was only added later, together with the Nicolaikirche, which had been under construction since 1182. From 1185 the free land between the Lippe and today's streets Marktstraße, Rathausstraße and Poststraße was divided into parcels and built up, almost simultaneously the construction of the collegiate church of St. Marien (today's abbey ruins) and the market church of St. Marien (today's large St. Mary's Church) began ).
The newly emerging city first appeared in historical sources in 1194 as “nova civitas”, at which time it was already fortified in the form of ramparts , ditches and palisades made of wood and earth. On the former castle grounds of the Herren zur Lippe, the Hermelinghof , an Augustinian convent was built , which from 1207 was also located in the inner city. The rapidly growing population of the city of Lippe mainly settled in the Marienstadt around the market church of St. Marien as well as around St. Nicolai and the collegiate church of St. Marien, which were also included in the fortified area when the city was expanded in 1229.
At that time Bernhard II had already handed over the government of the property to his son Hermann II , while he himself lived as abbot of Dünamünde in Livonia . Between 1220 and 1222 he granted the Lippstadt residents their first town charter and consecrated the market church of St. Marien. From 1231 at the latest, the Lippstadt council had its own city seal , and in the 1260s the construction of the city wall began , which was completed in 1292. This wall replaced the old ramparts and at the same time laid the border between the township of "Lippe" and the agricultural land in the area until the 19th century.
Due to the inheritance disputes after the death of Bernhard V and a subsequent feud between his nephew Simon III. and Count Otto von Tecklenburg as the husband of the daughter of Bernhard V, rule over Lippstadt went to the mediator Count Engelbert III in 1376 . von der Mark and subsequently came as pledge to other houses. The condition that the rule of the city was not in the hands of the sovereigns lasted through the Soest feud in 1444 until 1666, when the Counts of Lippe and the Electors of Brandenburg founded a condominium , i.e. H. became masters of Lippstadt together.
Lippstadt as a trading town
Even before the city was founded, Lippstadt was an important trading hub due to its location on the Lippefurt. The city charter provisions of 1220 and the granting of city privileges in 1244 further improved the prospects for trade and commerce in the city. Since 1244 at the latest, there has been a fair in the city, where mainly long-distance traders could offer goods. The city benefited from the offerings of the dealers as well as the demurrage of the same. In the 16th century there were verifiably four annual fairs, in 1691 there were six and by the end of the 18th century there were eight of these markets, which were spread over the year. The old market square between the market church of St. Mary and the town hall , today's town hall square, served as the market square.
Another important factor in the commercial development of a medieval city was the existence of its own coinage. Evidently there were already two mint masters in the city in 1231 who first minted English coins . Around the middle of the 13th century, coins with the Lipperose appeared for the first time . The Lippstädter Pfennig from the period from 1290 to 1310 in particular appeared in many coin finds in Denmark , England , Poland and Mecklenburg .
On July 17, 1253, Lippstadt was one of the founding members of the second Westphalian city union, which was confirmed with Osnabrück in 1268, along with Münster , Soest and Dortmund . This alliance was primarily intended to signal the economic power of the cities to the sovereigns.
In the 12th and 13th centuries Lippstadt was also a Hanseatic city , whereby Lippstadt merchants were already active in the Hanseatic League when the organization itself was only just emerging. Like almost all cities in Westphalia, it was a member of this large community of cities that at times determined economic policy in all of northern Germany . Lippstadt especially were Dittelstage in Cologne as well as the regional day of importance, although the city also to the "big" Hanseatic Days in Lübeck sent representatives. In 1494 Lippstadt was added to the commercial register and in 1540 the city was elevated to a principal city . However, on the last Hanseatic day in Lübeck on April 18, 1669, Lippstadt no longer took part, although it was counted among the members of the trade union until the last day.
Reformation and after
The teachings of Martin Luther and with them the Reformation were brought to Lippstadt by the two monks of the Augustinian Hermit Monastery in Lippstadt, Johannes Westermann and Herrmann Koiten . They studied between 1520 and 1524 at the University of Wittenberg , which was shaped by Luther's new ideas. On February 3, 1523 Westermann completed his doctorate together with the Herford Augustinian hermit Gottschalk Kropp .
In the same year Johannes Westermann returned to Lippstadt and preached the new doctrine there. In 1524 the sermons he gave in the Brothers Church were printed in Lippstadt. This book is the first documentation of the Reformation movement in Westphalia, in the same year a catechism by Westermann was published, also written in Middle Low German . The changes in the citizenship of Lippstadt as a result of the new teaching did not remain hidden from the Archbishop of Cologne, who thereupon sent the Dominican Johannes Host from Romberg to Lippstadt. He preached on March 16, 1526 in the large Marienkirche against the sermons of the Lippstadt residents.
In the period that followed, there were profound changes in the religious and church life of Lippstadt. In particular, the desire of the Lippstadt guilds to have more say in the city government led to significant changes. In February 1531, the guilds, together with the followers of Lutheran doctrine, began an uprising in which they drove out the city's magistrates and formed a new council. A year later, the lords of the Lipp family and the dukes of Kleve imposed traffic rights over the city, supported by the Archbishop of Cologne and the bishops of Münster, Osnabrück and Paderborn.
The mediation attempts failed until 1535, when the citizens of the city gave up on July 13, 1535 due to the deteriorating supply and deposed their clergy. Thereupon a contract between Count Simon V. zur Lippe , Duke Johann III. of Jülich-Kleve-Berg and the town called Lippe at the time closed. The church innovations in the city were largely withdrawn, but the mass was still allowed to be held in German. The preachers were expelled from the city and later worked elsewhere, Johannes Westermann for example in Hofgeismar , where he died in 1542. The participation of the guilds in the government was, however, codified and ordered. Since both rulers turned to the Reformation in the following years, the citizens of Lippstadt remained Lutheran even after the Peace of Augsburg , the small Catholic community in the St. Annen-Rosengarten monastery grew into a new Catholic community in the following years, mainly due to the influx from the surrounding area .
Thirty Years' War
During the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648) Lippstadt was not spared from the chaos of war. In the winter of 1621/1622 Lippstadt was occupied by Christian von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel and his troops as a district town. From here the general carried out regular raids into the neighboring Catholic territories of Paderborn and Münster. In Lippstadt, “the great Christian”, as he was also called, supposedly had the Pfaffenfeindtaler minted from stolen and melted down parts of the Paderborn cathedral treasure . After his departure, the troops of Emperor Ferdinand II tried to conquer the city, which they succeeded on October 24, 1623. The troops under Johann Graf von Rietberg were quartered in the city and stayed until 1633; however, the city was spared the actual war.
In 1633 the alliance situation had changed massively during the war, and this time it was the Landgrave of Hessen-Kassel, Wilhelm V , who wanted to take the city after the destruction of Salzkotten . After just one day, the townspeople marched in the troops, who stayed here until the end of the war in 1648. The occupiers took advantage of the city's favorable location and the fortifications, which were further strengthened. The Hessians did not leave the city until 1650, after 1666 the Electors of Brandenburg appeared as sovereign rulers in Lippstadt as a result of the Treaty of Kleve .
Witch trials
In 1565, witch trials against the three women Aleke, Anna and Katharina took place at Stromberg Castle in Liesborn . They were charged with sorcery, captured, tortured and burned. Around 1573 there were several other witch persecutions in Lippstadt in the time of Count Simon VI. "Several Burgers wives were led out and burned" .
Pastor Anton Praetorius reported in 1613 that during these witch trials, "the Nagel-Schmidt Ebert Balve and his sister, a baker called Freytägische, were released after long torture after revoking their confession despite protests from the population." This witch trial impressed Anton Praetorius was strong and made a decisive contribution to his thinking when, in 1597, at risk of death, he campaigned for a woman to be released from the torture chamber, and he continued this fight against witchcraft persecution and torture in literary terms.
In 1630 there was another large witch trial in Lippstadt with 23 female and 6 male accused. Among them were two boys aged 11 and 14 and the Erwitter pastor Jodocus. The superior of the Jesuit branch in Lippstadt P. Kuinken reported on this in a letter dated December 27, 1630 to the Provincial Bavingh in Cologne. According to the trial files of the Lippstadt City Archives, the last seven of these were sentenced on September 10 and 22, with the sword executed and burned. The mercenary Peter Hagendorf, who was present in Lippstadt at the time, reported on this in his diary. Among them were Elschen Koch and Elschen Bockhoff, two young girls who fit the description of Hagendorf.
Further witch trials took place in 1677.
Fortress time
According to the treaty between Hesse and Brandenburg, five strong war companies of the Brandenburgers were quartered in Lippstadt without involving the local lords of Lippstadt. These only became prudent in 1669 after the Elector of Brandenburg deployed further military reinforcements and further strengthened the city's fortresses. Up to 700 workers were deployed on the south wall alone to strengthen the bulwark. Lippstadt became part of the Brandenburg expansion and also supplied the troops in the war against the French King Louis XIV between Soest and Lippstadt.
There were a number of disasters within the fortress at that time. There are reports of two major fires in 1656 and 1676 as well as a typhus epidemic in 1673, which claimed 2,000 deaths. On March 4, 1679, the French took over the city after the Brandenburgers had withdrawn to Bielefeld and Minden . Over the course of the various occupations and disasters, the financial situation in Lippstadt deteriorated drastically up to the end of the 17th century and the dues to the sovereigns in Lippe and Brandenburg could not be paid. Brandenburg-Prussia's interest in Lippstadt increased, however, and it tried several times to win Lippstadt over to itself. In 1730 the soldier king Friedrich Wilhelm I inspected the city, ten years later King Friedrich II.
In 1757 the French troops marched in the Seven Years' War against Hanover , which was allied with Prussia ; Lippstadt was in the middle of the marching area. On April 26th of that year the French entered Lippstadt with 1,300 men, the Prussians had already left the city. Following the withdrawal of the French in 1758, Prussian hussars came to the city, which in turn were surrounded by the French in the following year. In 1761 the most important battle in the region took place in Vellinghausen near Hamm , in which the French were repulsed. After the Treaty of Hubertusburg in 1763, Lippstadt's fortifications were completely demolished.
Since Prussia had to cede all possessions west of the Elbe after the Peace of Tilsit in 1807, Lippstadt now came under French-Lippe rule. On August 8, 1808, the city council was sworn in on Napoleon . In 1807, the French government granted the Catholic community, which had been without a church for 250 years, the Nicolaikirche as a place of worship and appointed Pastor Jodocus Denker as pastor. The immediate French occupation ended as early as 1808; However, as part of the Grand Duchy of Berg, the city was still under the direct influence of Napoleon. Only the successes of the allied Russians and Prussians drove the Franco-Bergisch administration out and the Congress of Vienna left it with the Prussian-Lippe condominium .
industrialization
The barricade fighting of the 1848 revolution led to unrest in Lippstadt on March 12th, but this did not escalate due to the calm and prudent reaction of the city council. In the same year, Lippstadt's first daily newspaper, “ Der Patriot ”, appeared. On May 17, 1850, Lippe renounced the rule in Lippstadt in a treaty with Prussia in exchange for compensation, which became Prussian. The current districts of Lipperode and Cappel remained with the Principality of Lippe even after the end of the condominium.
From around 1820 the number of inhabitants of the city grew rapidly in the course of industrialization , which otherwise had remained relatively constant at 3,000 inhabitants since the height in the 13th century. In 1850 there were already 5,000 citizens living in the city of Lippstadt, in 1865 there were 7,000 and in 1902 13,000. This growth laid the foundation for the settlement of industry and the expansion of the traffic routes. From 1819 onwards, shipping on the Lippe was extended to Lippstadt, and a port facility and, in 1830, a shipping canal were built. However, due to competition with the railways, shipping was soon given up again, in 1868 only four barges came to Lippstadt and in 1870 shipping above Hamm was completely stopped.
The railway connection was Lippstadt in 1850 by the Royal Westphalian Railway Company , today Hamm-Warburg railway ; further connections were made in 1883 to Warstein , 1887 to Rheda and Münster and 1898 to Beckum . Lippstadt became a railway star and built the north station next to the main station in 1898. The first important road was the Erwitte –Lippstadt– Wiedenbrück line in 1823 , which was built as a section of the Koblenz - Minden line , today's federal road 55 . In 1878 the Cappeler Chaussee (today Beckumer Straße) was expanded. Until the 1880s, these two roads were the only paved roads that connected Lippstadt with the surrounding area.
Around 1860, the first large iron processing plant was located in Lippstadt, which later became part of the " Westphalian Union ". By 1900 it was doing so well that it employed 800 workers and exported wire goods to Japan . As a result of this work, a large residential area was created in the south of the city together with the Josefskirche. In 1902 the foundation stone was laid for another large company, the “Royal Prussian Artillery Workshop” on Beckumer Strasse, which started production in 1905 with 400 workers. In 1912, Sally Windmüller's medium-sized lantern factory became the Westphalian metal industry, which moved to Lüningstrasse.
20th century
After the beginning of industrialization at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, a number of small and medium-sized commercial enterprises were founded in Lippstadt, several of which developed into regionally relevant large companies, including the Lippstadt breweries Weißenburg, Nies and Tannenberg. The emerging wealth of the bourgeoisie was also evident in the construction of new villas from the Wilhelminian era , as can still be found today, especially in Langen Strasse and Cappelstrasse, as well as in various upstream districts.
After the loss of the First World War and the proclamation of the Republic on November 9, 1918, a workers 'and soldiers' council was founded, as in many other places in Lippstadt , but little changed for the development and life of the city. Supply bottlenecks in the 1920s led to social injustices, and the economic crisis and inflation of 1923 exacerbated social problems, as in all of Germany.
With the introduction of women's suffrage in Germany in November 1918, the Lippstadt parties nominated a total of eleven candidates for the election of the city council on March 2, 1919. Five of them were on the DDP's list ; Only Helene Venema was elected as a candidate for the center . The reasons for her resignation in 1920 are not known; as early as 1923, Pauline Schmidt, a woman again moved into the city council assembly for the SPD after a member of parliament left.
In the winter of 1923/24 the first larger emergency kitchen was set up in the Wilhelmschule, but the housing shortage and unemployment worsened the situation. In 1929 a local branch of the NSDAP was founded in Lippstadt . Until 1933, the population of Lippstadt predominantly voted for the established Center Party , only in today's Lippstadt district of Lipperode, which at the time belonged to the Free State of Lippe, did the majority of voters vote for Hitler in the last elections before the "seizure of power".
Due to its proximity to the psychiatric hospital in Eickelborn and the Benninghausen Provincial Labor House , which served as a concentration camp for a short time as early as 1933 and which later temporarily housed young people with lung disease from the Moringen concentration camp , Lippstadt became a site of medical crimes in the following years. Numerous forced sterilizations took place in the city's Protestant hospital during the Nazi era ; the conditions in the institutions culminated in physical abuse and extensive euthanasia programs .
In the course of the militarization of Germany, Lippstadt became a garrison town again: the so-called “Flak barracks” were built in the south of the city and the Lipperbruch air base in the north .
On November 9, 1938, as in all parts of Germany, organized riots broke out in Lippstadt against the Jewish citizens and their property (see: November pogroms 1938 ). The synagogue was also destroyed except for the outer walls. In 1942 all remaining members of the Jewish community were deported. The majority of them were murdered by the National Socialists in the Shoah .
With the beginning of the Second World War , the industrial orientation of Lippstadt also changed. In the foreground of the production was the arms production, in which also forced labor - u. a. in two local satellite camps of the Buchenwald concentration camp ("Lippstädter Eisen- und Metallwerke" and "Westfälische Metallindustrie").
As everywhere in Germany, the majority of local men in Lippstadt were drafted into military service. The city was spared from the bombing war of the last years of the war, apart from minor attacks, the air base in Lipperbruch was attacked several times and largely destroyed. On April 1, 1945, US troops marched into Lippstadt, thereby closing the Ruhr basin . The city was surrendered intact and with almost no resistance. On the same day, over 700 Jewish forced laborers who had been sent from Lippstadt on a death march to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp a few days earlier were liberated in Kaunitz .
In the following years, Lippstadt was administered first by the American and later by British occupation forces. After the end of World War II, the city belonged to the British zone of occupation . The military administration set up a DP camp to accommodate so-called Displaced Persons (DP). Most came from the Soviet Union , Poland and Hungary .
For the first time, citizens were able to participate politically from September 15, 1946 in a “primary election” with politically unaffected citizens. The approximately 3,000 displaced persons living in Lippstadt at that time were excluded from this election. In 1948 the upholsterer and SPD politician Jakob Koenen became the city's first post-war mayor and remained so until his death in 1974. A street in the north of the city center is named after him, as is the indoor swimming pool in Lippstadt (which was demolished in 2011) , Jakob-Koenen -Bath.
On January 1, 1975, the area of Lippstadt was expanded from 29.82 km² to 113.3 km² by incorporating the surrounding villages. At the same time, the old Lippstadt district was added to the newly formed Soest district, whose largest city is Lippstadt today. The choice of the district town was accompanied by major differences and ultimately fell on Soest , as it was more central in the new district area.
In 1987 Lippstadt hosted the Europaschützenfest , an event organized by the European Association of Historical Shooters .
Flood and flood protection
On 16./17. July 1965, Lippstadt was hit by a catastrophic flood, the so-called Heinrichsflut , which affected large parts of the city center and some suburbs. Particularly serious damage was caused to the ground floors of some residential buildings in the Soeststrasse area, which were flooded meters high. After this flood, numerous backwater areas were created and extensive construction work was carried out on the course and the bridges of the Lippe, which almost quadrupled the amount of water that can flow through the city. The success of the measures became apparent in August 2007, when a larger amount of water than 42 years earlier flowed through the city, but did no damage there.
Incorporations
On January 1, 1975, the communities Benninghausen, Bökenförde, Cappel, Dedinghausen, Eickelborn, Esbeck, Garfeln, Hellinghausen, Herringhausen, Hörste, Lipperode, Lohe, Overhagen, Rebbeke and Rixbeck as well as parts of the communities Liesborn (Bad Waldliesborn) and Ermsinghausen (Gut Schwarzenraben) incorporated into Lippstadt.
Population development
In the Middle Ages and early modern times , Lippstadt's population did not exceed 3,000. It went back again and again through the numerous wars, epidemics and famine. With the beginning of industrialization in the 19th century, population growth accelerated. In 1819 only 3,115 people lived in the city, in 1900 there were already 12,533.
