Location of Neuhaus Castle in Paderborn

Since its incorporation in 1975, Neuhaus Castle has been a northern part of Paderborn in the east of North Rhine-Westphalia with around 25,500 inhabitants; it also includes the districts of Sennelager and Mastbruch .

The Neuhaus municipality, which was independent until 1974, was the seat of the Neuhaus office for a long time , to which Elsen and Sande still belonged. On September 10, 1957, after the celebration of the 700th anniversary of the castle, the municipality and office were given the name “Castle”. The castle in Neuhaus was the residence of the prince-bishops of Paderborn until 1802/03 .

location

The Paderborn district together with Sande and Sennelager form the city district of Schloss Neuhaus / Sande. Neighboring - starting in the north in a clockwise direction - are the municipality of Hövelhof , the city of Bad Lippspringe and the Paderborn districts of Marienloh , Kernstadt, Elsen and Sande .

The place owes its name to the castle located at the confluence of the Alme , Lippe and Pader rivers and extends south and east of it. It is surrounded by greenery , both by the castle and meadow park and its northern extension to the Lippesee, and by the Paderborn city forest to the south; the light, newer development, predominantly with one- and two-family houses, only touches the Paderborn city center in a few places.

history

Neuhaus is first mentioned in 1016 in the "Vita Meinwerci", written by Abbot Konrad von Abdinghof after 1165, the biography of Bishop Meinwerk (1009-1036). It was first mentioned in a document in 1036. A dispute between the episcopal sovereign and the population of the city of Paderborn led to the fact that the former castle between the three rivers became an episcopal residence. From 1370 to the secularization of 1802/03, the bishops of Paderborn administered their prince-bishopric from Neuhaus Castle .

The castle was confiscated by British forces after the Second World War , but returned to the community on July 19, 1964. Today it is used by a municipal secondary school and houses representative rooms for the city of Paderborn.

Neuhaus Castle is also affected by the flood disaster in the Paderborn district on July 16, 1965 . Farmers fight desperately to save their cattle from the pastures. As a result of this environmental disaster, Schloss Neuhaus lost two lives.

Neuhaus Castle was the seat of the Neuhaus Castle Office until the end of 1974 , which also included Elsen , Hövelhof and Sande and until 1969 Stukenbrock .

It was incorporated into the city of Paderborn as part of the Sauerland / Paderborn law on January 1, 1975 together with Sande as the city ​​district of Schloss Neuhaus / Sande . Both places are still counted as two districts.

In 1994 Paderborn hosted the North Rhine-Westphalia State Horticultural Show at Neuhauser Castle.

In 1995 the Federal Festival of the Federation of Historical German Rifle Brotherhoods took place at the same location. The organization of this festival for 2019 was also awarded to the Bürger-Schützen-Verein Schloß Neuhaus 1913 as the largest brotherhood of the Federation.

religion

For the mostly Catholic population, there were three Catholic parishes in the area of the former political community of Schloss Neuhaus until the end of 2015 , all of which belonged to the Paderborn deanery in the Archdiocese of Paderborn . In the town center of Neuhausen there was St. Heinrich and Kunigunde , in Mastbruch St. Joseph (these two parishes were merged into a pastoral association in 2002), in Sennelager St. Michael . On January 1, 2016, these three parishes and the St. Marien parish of Sande were merged to form the Catholic parish Parish of St. Martin von Tours by a documentary resolution of the Archdiocese of Paderborn.

The Protestant parish of Schloss Neuhaus belongs to the Paderborn parish of the Evangelical Church of Westphalia and also includes Sennelager and Sande. In Sennelager there is the Paul Gerhardt Community Center.

The Catholic and Protestant parishes jointly publish a newsletter.

Today the castle houses a secondary school and representation rooms for the city of Paderborn.

Parish church of St. Heinrich and Kunigunde

The cath. The parish church of St. Heinrich and Kunigunde was built in 1665/66 as a hall building in Gothic style instead of an older Ulrich church.

The simple, plastered exterior is only enlivened by the baroque column portals with the coat of arms of Prince-Bishop Ferdinand von Fürstenberg . Most of the furnishings date from the time the church was built: the high altar was made in 1667, the organ front was made in 1680.
