A distinction must be made between the history of the Heerse women's monastery and the history of Wigbolds Neuenheerse .
Neuenheerse belonged to the Principality of Paderborn during the Middle Ages . In 1802/03 the bishopric was occupied by the Kingdom of Prussia. In Napoleonic times, Neuenheerse was part of the Kingdom of Westphalia and was subordinated to the canton Dringenberg, which in addition to Dringenberg included the villages of Schwaney, Altenheerse, Neuenheerse, Kühlsen and Willebadessen. With the establishment of the circle Warburg 1816 Neuenheerse part was the Office Dringenberg that in 1856 with the Office Gehrden for office Dringenberg-Gehrden were combined. With the dissolution of the Warburg district and the Dringenberg-Gehrden office on January 1, 1975 by the Sauerland / Paderborn law , Neuenheerse was incorporated into the town of Bad Driburg .
The noble lady's pen
→ see also Heerse Abbey

In 868 large estates in the Warburg Borde (in the places were Osdagighusen, Lutzilandreni, Bocchem, Heringi ) from the private collection of aristocratic Saxon Walburg traded with territories that the village Heresi belonged and from the possession of the cathedral chapter of Paderborn came. This exchange was approved by the Worms Council in 868, as Walburg (approx. 825–895), the sister of Luithard , the third bishop (862–887) of Paderborn, who also donated 10 farms near Brakel (Hainhausen) and the tithes of the villages Heresi, Smachtum, Nordgardinum and Suitgardinum , in the source district of the Nethe (probably a holy place of the pagan Saxons) in today's Neuenheerse wanted to found a lay monastery in order to "dedicate themselves to the service" with other noble ladies, like the exact copy Worms certificate from 868 as motivation. At the same time, however, through the conversion of the pagan spring shrine into a Christian church, the monastery was a base for missionary work in Saxony and from the beginning and over the years it increasingly provided for the salvation of the deceased with many donated annual memorials.
The pen became known under the name Herisia or Heerse . Collegiate ladies were of noble origin. Their work was prayer, similar to medals , but the Heerse Abbey always remained secular and called itself free-worldly, since it was not the bishop's own, who as sovereign sometimes violently, but repeatedly in court, claimed his sovereignty over the monastery . Spiritual beneficiaries and two pastors were ordained by the abbess alone, they were entrusted with the liturgy of the church and the various altars and chapels, as well as with administrative tasks.
The oldest church was built around 880 and was first dedicated to St. Mary . The church still contains many relics , the most important of which are the bones of Saint Saturnina , transferred in 887 by Sains-lès-Marquion , who also became a patron saint. The current church building dates from the early 12th century, as a column basilica it is a specialty. However, the central nave and the southern nave were raised to a hall church in the Gothic period, instead of pillars, octagonal pillars have supported the vault since then.
During the secularization of 1803, the monastery was founded by the then King of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm III. repealed and immediately re-established as a “supply institution” for impoverished noble ladies of all denominations, but the King of Westphalia (1807–1813), Jérôme Bonaparte , also expropriated this re-establishment in 1810 to rehabilitate its ailing finances with all other monasteries. Most of the people in the monastery left Neuenheerse.
The collegiate church became the parish church; the state is responsible for the maintenance, since it has become the owner and beneficiary of the huge estates, especially the forests of the monastery.
The important work of the pastor and dean Anton Gemmeke from Neuenheers is the “History of the noble women's monastery in Neuenheerse”.
religion
Most of the residents of Neuenheerse are Catholic , the former collegiate church and today's parish church belongs to the parish of St. Saturnina in the Bad Driburg pastoral association of the Archdiocese of Paderborn . The not so numerous Protestant Christians have their own church for their worship.
As the only calendar brotherhood in the East Westphalian region, it still exists in Neuenheerse.
