Location of the village of Madfeld within the urban area of ​​Brilon

Madfeld is a village in the east of the Sauerland . Until 1974 it formed an independent municipality in the Thulen district , since 1975 it has been a town in the town of Brilon in the North Rhine-Westphalian Hochsauerlandkreis . On December 31, 2013, 1265 people were registered with their primary or secondary residence in Madfeld.

geography

location

The center of Madfeld extends mainly over the north side of the Schwickartsberg ( 499.2  m ), a mountain of the Brilon Heights . This puts Madfeld on the eastern edge of the Brilon plateau . This open landscape characterizes the Madfeld area in the west and north-west. To the north of the village are the Bürener Land and the Sintfeld .

The Sintfeld is part of the Rhine-Weser watershed . Therefore, the Aabach , which rises in Madfeld, as well as the Große and Kleine Aa , which rises to the east of Madfeld, belong to the river system of the Rhine, while the short streams that arise on the south and south-eastern outskirts flow off to the Hoppecke , which is part of the Weser river system.

The wider area around Madfeld is heavily forested. In the northeast and east, Madfeld borders the Fürstenberg Forest . This goes further south into the Diemelbergland , in which Madfeld has a share.

In the Madfeld area are the mountains Bembruchskopf ( 451.3  m ), Eikenberg ( 451.2  m ), Hamm ( 520.2  m ), Hogesknapp ( 480.3  m ), Krautkopf ( 484.1  m ), Prinzknapp ( 478 , 7  m ), Stemmel ( 514.2  m ), northeast of the mountain Brautlicht ( 498.7  m ), a branch of the skull ( 502.6  m ).

expansion

The area of ​​the former municipality and today's village of Madfeld is 1,468.34 hectares in size. The extreme points are in the north at the confluence of the Schnadesiepen in the Aabach , in the east at the confluence of the Große Aa in the Aabach , in the south about 100 meters south of the junction of the Alte Poststraße from the Bredelarer Straße and in the west on the Hansgerloherweg southwest of the Hamm . The highest point is at 520.2  m above sea level. NN on the Hamm , the lowest point coincides with the northernmost and has a height of 369.5  m above sea level. NN .

Madfeld's borders largely correspond to those drawn in the 16th century. In the north it follows the Schnadesiepen up to its confluence with the Aabach. This forms the border up to the confluence of the Große Aa, then it runs parallel to the Aabach along the Eggestraße. From the sewage treatment plant, it follows the tree line to the Bredelar state forest. Only on the sign does the border go through forest areas, first along the forest path and then cross the Bredelarer Straße. It runs north from the fish ponds in Madfelder Schweiz until it meets the Bredelarer Strasse again. There, the forest and community boundaries are again identical. The Rösenbeck quarry protrudes briefly on the Stemmel in the Madfeld area. The border first follows the field path to Thülen and then turns into Hansgerloherweg. The former Almer linden tree on Almer Straße is excluded, otherwise the border continues to follow the dirt road. On the thick side, the border turns to flow into the lead washer in the Düsterstal. From there she runs to Bleiwäscher Straße along the dirt road. The Schwelge on the other side of the Bleiwäscher Straße forms the further border until it finally meets the Schnadesiepen.

Due to the dispute between the Bredelar Monastery and the Lords of Padberg, the municipality boundary ends quite abruptly to the east and south of the village center and most of the surrounding forests still belong to the Bredelar State Forest. The Madfelder Solstätter had but wood and Hudeberechtigungen in the forest districts harrow, Kellekerholz, calves heads, bride light and Liebfrauenberg. Egge and Kellekerholz belong to the Madfeld forest today, Kälberköpfe, Brautlicht and Liebfrauenberg are still well developed from Madfeld. Today the Madfeld Forest covers a total of 350.25 hectares.

Neighboring places

Madfeld borders in the south and south-west on Rösenbeck , in the west on Radlinghausen and in the west and north-west on Alme . These three villages, like Madfeld, are localities of the city of Brilon. To the north Madfeld borders on lead washing , in the north-east briefly on Fürstenberg ; both localities of the city of Bad Wünnenberg in the Paderborn district . This is also followed by Bredelar in the northeast , a town in the city of Marsberg , which surrounds Madfeld in the entire east and into the southeast.

The following places are within a five-kilometer radius of the center of Madfeld:

The core city of Marsberg is about nine kilometers east-northeast of Madfeld as the crow flies, that of Bad Wünnenberg about ten kilometers north and the Brilon core town about eleven kilometers west-southwest. Brilon, in part, Marsberg also functions as the middle center . The closest regional center is Paderborn, just under 33 kilometers to the north .

history

It is assumed that today's Madfeld area has been inhabited for more than 4000 years. Proof of this is a wedge, which is dated to the Neolithic and was found in today's Madfeld area. The next finds date back to the earlier pre-Roman Iron Age . During construction work for the wind turbines between Madfeld and Bleireinigung, over 60 pits and post holes were discovered in an area of ​​around three square kilometers. In these there were ceramic remains. Iron slag remains were also found. Such Iron Age settlement traces in the Sauerland are rare.

Madfeld is first mentioned in a document in the donation of the County of Haholds II. To Bishop Meinwerk and the church of Paderborn by King Heinrich II. On April 10, 1011. The "Matfeld" mentioned there is not yet a closed village, but refers to a landscape. (Comparable to the neighboring Sintfeld .) It is unclear today how large this area was. It protruded into the localities of today's villages Radlinghausen and Bleireinigung and comprised the desolate villages of Weißinghausen, Meveringhusen, Walberinghusen / Wolberinghausen, Heddinghausen, Emminchusen / Hemminghusen, Glinden (e), Thietboldinghusen, Lutborgehusen / Luberinghusen, Wulfferinchhusen and Oestlingen. There is a presumption that it coincides with the area of ​​the open court, the center of which was later Alme . This included all localities between the deserted places Andepen (south of Leiberg ) and Keffelke (east of Brilon) and corresponds to today's area of ​​Ober- and Niederalme, Wülfte , Nehden , Thülen , Bontkirchen , Radlinghausen, Rösenbeck and Madfeld. For the year 1550 the testimony of the Thulen farmer Hermann Bluwels is available, who states that Thülen is lying on the Madfeld.

In addition to the Paderborn bishops, other ecclesiastical institutions and nobles had property rights on the Madfeld. The Counts of Arnsberg gave farms in Heddinghausen and Osningen as fiefs to the Lords of Padberg , the nobles of Büren in Thietboldinghusen to a knight Konrad von Walberinghusen. Above all, the upper ecclesiastical owner is the noble women's monastery Böddeken , whose properties were administered by the Widden Office (also known as the Osningen Office on the Madfeld).

Agriculture was the main activity in the places mentioned. Lead extraction also played a role. In the area of ​​the deserted village of Wulfferinchhusen, lead slag and lead ores from around 920 to 1180 were found. Cooking pots that were traded as far as the Hellweg area date from the 10th to 12th centuries . Also from the late Middle Ages , more precisely the phase of the 13th / 14th centuries. Century, lead slag was found there.

Towards the end of the 14th century, the conflict between the Benglern , at the head of which Friedrich III. the elder of the old house in Padberg, and the Paderborn prince-bishop. As a result, the Böddeken monastery sold its office in Widden on March 30, 1390 to the Lords of Padberg (line old house). Already in 1340 these goods had been acquired on the Madfeld from the noblemen of Büren. Madfeld and Sintfeld soon became the focus of the conflict. Bishop Ruprecht moved against the Lords of Padberg in 1392, but could not conquer their castles and then devastated numerous villages in the area. Two years later he repeated the campaign against Padberg, this time supported by the Archbishop of Cologne and the Duke of Braunschweig . He conquered Padberg and devastated it, but died of an epidemic during the siege of Padberg. It was not until Ruprecht's successor Johann I. von Hoya succeeded in 1392 in defeating Padberg. As a result of these disputes, according to the income register of the Bredelar monastery from 1416, a farm in Hemminghausen was in desolation, and farms were still managed in Heddinghusen, Glinden and Osningen. In 1418, the sons of Friedrich von Padberg pledged their entire property, which they had received from the noblemen of Büren and the Böddeken monastery, to the Bredelar monastery . In addition to the feuds, the waves of plague in the cities led to rural exodus. On the one hand, there was less demand for food, and on the other hand, moving into the cities was made easier. Under this influence and the ongoing feuds, the Madfeld is likely to have largely fallen desolate. Radlinghausen and Rösenbeck know that their fields were desolate.

An upswing only began after the Roman-German King Maximilian I had proclaimed the eternal peace . Antonius vom Alten Haus Padberg (Tönies von Padberg) bought back half of the lands pledged to Bredelar. Allegedly in 1482 he is said to have brought together his six farms in Glindene, Hemminghausen, Oestlingen, Lübberinghausen, Heddinghausen and Detbelinghausen and then founded Madfeld as a church village. The only new settlement focus was Oestlingen, as there was a church here. The age of the church is unknown, the owners and perhaps the founders are likely to have been the ladies of Böddeken or their governors, the noblemen of Büren. From these it passed to the Lords of Padberg. The foundation was based on the development on the Sintfeld (foundation Fürstenbergs 1449, Leibergs 1490, Haarens 1491), but is likely to have been far less systematic. There were disputes with the Bredelar monastery over the church tithing and the use of the forest, and it insisted on half of the land. In the west, the lords of Meschede zu Alme expanded their rule and came into possession of Meveringhausen and Weißinghusen (near today's Haus Almerfeld ) in 1497 and 1503, respectively . Tönnies von Padberg was able to conclude a contract with the Bredelar monastery in 1507. Therein it was regulated that the Madfeld includes the six above mentioned places, the lords of Padberg exercise the lower jurisdiction over this and receive the taxes and services of the farmers. In return, the Bredelar monastery received the church tithing, but had to feed the pastor of Oestlingen and continued to receive ownership of Rösenbeck, Radlinghausen and Bontkirchen. The Madfeld was repopulated, eight people are known by name from a testimony of 1549 who came from Medebach , Marsberg, Gevelinghausen , Heringhausen and Berlar . In the following years the place experienced a steady upswing, for the year 1565 49 taxpayers are recorded.

The northern border was a problem. Both the lords of Padberg and the Bredelar monastery had overlooked in their contract of 1507 that the lords of Westphalen also claimed the villages of Thietboldinghusen and Lubberinghusen. The places had been uninhabited for decades and the fields had been used by the neighboring towns. Conflicts arose when copper and lead deposits were suspected in the area and the gentlemen von Westphalen had a smelter built by specialists from Geseke near Thietboldinghusen in 1540 . This alerted the Archbishop of Cologne, who was in charge of the Bergregal . The nuns of the Gaukirche monastery in Paderborn also remembered old property rights (following the knight of Walberinghusen) in Thietboldinghusen. The Bishop of Paderborn mediated between the Gaukirchen monastery and the Lords of Westphalen, so that the Lords of Westphalen received a title from this side. The conflict with Oestlingen had not yet been resolved and worsened when the dispute over timber and grazing rights arose in 1550. In 1562 a commission made up of government representatives from Cologne and Paderborn was set up to resolve the issue. The agreement signed in the same year and the Schnade committed essentially confirmed the claims of Messrs. Von Westphalen. The Bredelar monastery received a piece of forest on the Aa as compensation . Even today, the border between Madfeld and the later lead washing plant, which was decided at the time, forms the border between the administrative districts of Arnsberg and Detmold .

Towards the end of the 16th century, the name Madfeld was used for Oestlingen for the first time in a document. For a while the names stood next to each other, in the 17th century the name Madfeld prevailed. The upswing of the place continued. By the beginning of the Thirty Years War , 88 farms were built. The looting of the war and the associated epidemics led to renewed decline. At the end of the war only half of the farms were left.

On September 7, 1643, a wolf invaded the village and killed two pregnant women. The wolf was then killed.

Around 1800 and until the 19th century Madfeld was a poor community. In addition to unfavorable external circumstances, this was due to the high tax burden on the Counts of Padberg. It is known from the school chronicle that the residents, including the children, went to beg. At the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, there were repeated wood thefts by Madfelder in the Marsberg forest. On February 28, 1799, a Marsberg delegation with the help of two Brilon lay judges searched for the wood in Madfeld, but they did not find anything and were later attacked by an angry crowd.

On May 10, 1891, a fire destroyed eleven houses and farms.

In the revolutionary year of 1919, a workers and soldiers council was formed in Madfeld.

After the National Socialist “seizure of power” in 1933, twelve Madfelder were interrogated for “communist activities”. Some of them were arrested.

On March 28, 1945, parts of the staff of the 8th Army quartered themselves in Madfeld, but left the village early the next day. In the afternoon, Wehrmacht vehicles, including ambulances, drove through Madfeld, and in the evening the devices at the air intelligence center were blown up. This air defense center was built on December 24, 1943 north of the village. The air force helpers and maidservants from the air force facility stayed in the village. Tree barriers from the Volkssturm in the direction of Bredelar should still be built; but this did not happen because the Wehrmacht had given up the village. On the following two days some American vehicles drove through Madfeld. An American commandant arrived on April 2, 1945, and American soldiers moved in the following day. All firearms and cameras were withdrawn. The US soldiers withdrew to Madfeld on April 10 and again for a few days on April 24. From April 11th to 13th, the Madfelder participated in the looting of the large textile warehouse in Bredelar Monastery, which the US troops had released.

In the Second World War , 66 Madfelder fell as soldiers, most of them on the Eastern Front , or died in captivity.

With the municipal reorganization in North Rhine-Westphalia on January 1, 1975, the municipality belonging to the Thülen office became a town of Brilon.

History of the Jewish community in Madfeld

From 1704 onwards, it is possible to prove that there were Jewish residents of Madfeld who were initially “led” there. Their number rose continuously and reached a peak with 96 people in 1855. As early as 1750 there was a Jewish community. The Jewish cemetery “in front of the Egge” was created at the latest when it was founded. The community aimed to build a synagogue. On February 25, 1855, Madfeld became a synagogue sub-community of the Padberg synagogue community , but continued to operate largely independently of it. In the same year, on November 9th, a previously existing synagogue burned down and the community tried to build a new one. This was completed on August 21, 1858. On July 24, 1883, the Jewish private school in Madfeld began teaching. She was housed in the synagogue. The efforts of the Jewish residents to create such a school reached back to 1819. Previously, the children of Jewish faith had attended Catholic elementary school, religious instruction was provided by their parents, and only in 1823 and 1828 were they able to maintain a private teacher. Even after 1883, the Madfeld Jews tried to convert the private school into a public school. Among other things, they asserted that the elementary school was overcrowded and that almost 30 children in the Jewish school were being taught by a state-certified teacher. Corresponding applications were repeatedly rejected. In the period that followed, the school had to be closed again and again due to changes in teachers. Community life suffered a setback when Salomon Löwenbach moved from Madfeld to Paderborn in 1895. He was by far the wealthiest member of the community. One consequence was that the school came to a standstill. It was accepted briefly in 1896 and 1912, most recently with financial support from the political community of Madfeld. From then on, the Jewish children attended the Catholic elementary school and received religious instruction from private teachers. One reason was the decreasing number of parishioners, as many Madfelder moved to the industrial areas, especially the Ruhr area, in the course of industrialization. As early as 1924, the Jewish community dissolved, and the synagogue and cemetery were transferred to a synagogue association. The synagogue should have been renovated, which the remaining parishioners could not afford. It was subsequently used as a hay deposit by a neighboring farmer.

After the " seizure of power " by the National Socialists, the remaining Jews tried to continue their lives in Madfeld. The boycott of the Jews in 1933 restricted their economic foundations. During the so-called “ Reichskristallnacht ”, a truck with nurses from the Marsberg institution reached Madfeld. Together with the Madfeld National Socialists, they set the former synagogue on fire at 8:30 am and attacked several residential buildings, one of which was "heavily demolished", and the house owner was beaten after protests. Six Jewish men were herded into the fire-fighting equipment house and brought from there to Brilon. On November 11, 1938, five of them were deported to Sachsenhausen , but released from there in 1939. On July 27, 1942, four to six of the remaining Madfeld Jews were brought to Bredelar and from there first to Theresienstadt and then to Auschwitz . Presumably on March 2, 1943, the last Madfeld Jew was deported to Bergen-Belsen . The National Socialists also devastated the Jewish cemetery. It was restored after the end of the National Socialist dictatorship and is today the only witness to 250 years of Jewish culture in Madfeld. A total of 25 Madfelder or Madfeld-born victims fell victim to the Shoah , four survived concentration camps, 27 managed to escape abroad, mainly to Argentina and the United States, and the whereabouts of seven other people are unknown.

traffic

The village is located on Landesstraße  637 (called Bredelarer or Almer Straße in Madfeld), which connects the town to the south on the federal highway 7 running in east-west direction (about 2 km away), and in the north-west to the north-south In the direction of the federal highway 480 (around 8 km away). From the state road 637 branches off the state road 956 (Bleiwäscher Straße) outside the village center, which also leads to the federal road 480 via lead washing.

In the local public transport system there are two bus routes to Brilon, one to Fürstenberg, a taxi bus to Radlinghausen and a night bus route to Brilon and Willingen . The next station for rail passenger transport is in the neighboring town of Bredelar on the Upper Ruhr Valley Railway from Hagen to Warburg.

education

The National Socialist People's Welfare established a kindergarten in the elementary school in 1942 . At the end of the war, sisters of the Vincentian Sisters took over the kindergarten. In the following years, childcare took place in the Thülen kindergarten. The community of Madfeld built a new kindergarten in 1972/1973, which was inaugurated on May 28, 1973. With the incorporation of Madfeld in 1975, the sponsorship went to the city of Brilon. The kindergarten was also used by lead washer children until 1992, since then lead washing has its own kindergarten. The kindergarten has been called Zwergenland since 2008 .

There was evidence of a school in Madfeld until the second half of the 18th century. The lessons took place first in the Schmied-Reuter house, since April 5, 1810 in a barn. A new school building was built in 1881/1882, which was expanded and renovated in 1938. Until July 31, 1969, it was a Catholic elementary school , after which the St. Margaretha Madfeld Catholic Primary School was housed in the building. For the 2006/2007 school year this was incorporated into the municipal school in Alme-Madfeld-Thülen, also a Catholic elementary school . Since the school year 2010/2011 there have been no more lessons in the building.

Attending secondary schools is possible in Brilon. The educational institutions in the cities of Marsberg, Bad Wünnenberg and Büren are almost not used, mainly due to a lack of bus connections.

Daughters and sons of the village

The Roman Catholic dogmatist Bernhard Bartmann (1860–1938) was born in Madfeld. He attended elementary school in Madfeld before continuing his training at the teachers' college in Büren. The former main street in Madfeld is named after him today.

The siblings Bertha (1894–1966) and Siegfried Heimberg (1898–1965) were also born in Madfeld. Both attended elementary school in Madfeld, but moved with their family to the Ruhr area in 1912.
