Nonenstelle
A collection point for cattle, mainly cattle here, was called Nonenstelle in Lippe . In the 19th century cattle were kept in almost all houses in the agricultural towns of the Lippe region . In the warm season of the year, they were gathered into herds at 6 o'clock in the morning and driven to the meadows by city shepherds . After nine (lat .: none) hours around 3 p.m., shepherds drove the cows to certain places, the Nonen places, to have the animals milked by milkers. Then they were brought back to their home stables.
At that time there were six None jobs on the outskirts of Lemgo alone. A local inn and a bus stop are still called “Nonenstelle” today and are reminiscent of this Lippe tradition . In the Laubker Nonenstelle, the so-called “Keoschuitenball” was celebrated every autumn when the animals were driven away. Wreaths of flowers were wound by the milkmaids, which they brought into the house of the owners of the animals and expected a gift of money in return. The owners provided drinks and covered the costs by selling the "keoschuiten", the manure that had been collected at the nuns' places.
