The Sintfeld , also called Sindfeld , is a high plateau in the Paderborn district with peripheral locations in the Hochsauerlandkreis , North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).
With marginal mountains, some of which lie outside the natural spatial unit of Sindfeld , it spreads to around 200 m (north of Büren in the Alme valley) to 456.2 m above sea level. NHN (Karpkeberg near Essentho ).
geography
location
The Sintfeld located in Westphalia around the south of Paderborn location Bad Wunnenberg . It is the southern sub-landscape of the Paderborn plateau and thus part of the Westphalian Bay in terms of geological structure ; viewed as a landscape form it is part of the German low mountain range .
In the north it borders on the Brenkener Bergplatte and the Blockfeld, in the northeast on the Lichtenau mountain range, i.e. the other three sub-landscapes of the Paderborn plateau. The east and south-east are bounded by the Eggegebirge as part of the Weserbergland , the south by the Diemel bergland as part of the north Hessian mountains and the south-west by the Alme bergland as part of the Sauerland ; beyond or south of the Almebergland is the Brilon plateau .
Natural structure and allocation
The high plateau forms the sub-unit Sindfeld (362.1) in the natural spatial main unit group Upper Weserbergland (No. 36) and in the main unit Paderborn plateau (362 ), which is divided into the natural areas Sandbergwald (362.10) in the west, Fürstenberger Platte (362.11) in the middle and Essenthoer Feld (362.12) in the east.
To the north is the natural area Borchener Platten (362.0). To the north-northeast lies the natural area Lichtenau Basin (363.02) in the sub-unit Western Egge-Foreland (363.0), which is part of the main unit Egge-Area (363). In their subunit harrow (363.1) is the natural area Kleinenberger Mulde (363.12) to the northeast and the natural area Warburger Wald (363.13) to the east . In addition, in the east is the natural space Wrexer Diemeltal (341.00), which in the main unit group West Hesse Highlands (34) and in the main unit Ostwald Ecker edge sinks (341) of the subunit means Diemel sink is (341.0). In the south, the subunit Fürstenberger Wald (334.8) and the natural areas Briloner Kalkplatten (334.70) and Almer Grund (334.71) belong to the subunit Briloner Land (334.7); they are all part of the main unit North Sauerland Oberland (334), part of the main unit group Süderbergland (33). In the west there is the subunit Haarstrang (542.3), which, like the north-western natural area Geseker Oberbörde (542.23), part of the subunit Oberer Hellweg (542.2), is part of the main unit group Westfälische Bucht (54) and belongs to the main unit Hellwegbörden (542).
Watershed
The Rhine-Weser watershed runs over the Sintfeld . This means that the water of all flowing waters that drain the plateau in a north-westerly direction flows over the Alme , Lippe into the Rhine , while that of the only short streams, for example the Duhlbach, which run in the opposite direction, flows through the Diemel into the Weser flow.

Of the 41 medieval towns in the Sintfeld , 30, or 73%, were desolate. Another 10 were at times desolate. Only today's Bad Wünnenberg was not given up during the late medieval desert period .
history
The Sintfeld has belonged to the Engern tribal area since the early Middle Ages . One of the greatest battles of the Franconian War in Saxony took place on the Sintfeld in 794 . The Franconian Army deployed Panzerreiter and was able to defeat the Saxons who were fighting for their freedom. The battle took place in the late phase of Charlemagne's Saxon Wars, which lasted from 772 to around 804 . It was the last great Saxon uprising at this time. The struggle of the Saxons (Westphalia) and Frisians in the years 793 and 794 was directed, according to Alcuin, against the tithe introduced by the Franks . The Roman Catholic priests acted as money collectors like robbers.
As a result, the Sintfeld always belonged to the territory of the Bishop of Paderborn , the later spiritual principality of the Hochstift Paderborn . In 1802 it was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia , only interrupted by the French-dominated Kingdom of Westphalia .
The Sintfeld wind farm , which went into operation in 2001, is located on the Sintfeld .
Traffic and walking
North past the Sintfeld, the federal motorway 44 ( Dortmund - Kassel ) leads in a west-north-west-east-south-east direction. At the Wünnenberg-Haaren junction , it crosses the federal highway 480 ( Paderborn –Bad Wünnenberg– Brilon ), which cuts through the western part of the landscape south of it in a north-south direction. Several state roads branch off from the B 480 and run through the countryside, for example the L 549 (Bad Wünnenberg – Fürstenberg – Essentho).
The E1 European long-distance hiking trail touches the eastern edge of the Sintfeld , and the 174 km long Uplandweg runs through the western part . Both paths are crossed by the 144 km long Sintfeld-Höhenweg , which runs as a circular route around the landscape and, among other things, into the Egge Mountains.
