Location of the district of Nordborchen in the Borchen municipality

Nordborchen is the northern of the five localities of the Borchen municipality in the Paderborn district in North Rhine-Westphalia ( Germany ).

geography

Nordborchen is located on the north-western Paderborn plateau . The valley of the Alme on the western edge of the village, into which the Altenau flows below the village , is the landscape boundary to the Hellweg area .

Starting in the north in a clockwise direction, Nordborchen borders the Paderborn districts of Wewer and Paderborn as well as the Borchen localities of Kirchborchen and Alfen .

history

In 1031, Bishop Meinwerk donated his property in Nordborchen to the Abdinghof Monastery, which he had founded. A farm had been donated before that in 1015. Since time immemorial, the center of the place has been formed by two noble residences, the upper house, today Mallinckrodthof, and the lower house, of which only a ruin remains today. Both buildings are now owned by the Borchen municipality. Until the abolition of the Principality of Paderborn (1802), the landlords were the cathedral chapter, the Abdinghof monastery, the lords of Oeynhausen and von Haxthausen .

One of the most important farms was the old Meierhof. It has not yet been proven whether the chapel at Nordborchen, which already existed in 1304, was built on the grounds of the Meierhof.

The church bond with Kirchborchen, which had existed for centuries, was ended with the establishment of the parish vicarie in 1925.

The massive gables of the quarry stone farmhouses still characterize the closed lower village that extends along the Altenau. As a result of the newly developed building areas in recent years, Nordborchen, like Kirchborchen, has developed into a preferred place of residence near the episcopal city of Paderborn. Many who work in Borchen and the surrounding area have found a new home here.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1969, the municipalities of Alfen, Nordborchen and Kirchborchen of the Kirchborchen office merged to form the municipality of Borchen, based in Nordborchen. On January 1, 1975, the previous municipality of Borchen merged with Dörenhagen and Etteln to form the new municipality of Borchen, and the Kirchborchen office was dissolved. The legal successor is the Borchen municipality.

Population development

In 1950 the then municipality of Nordborchen had 1,447 inhabitants, a number that had increased to 3,844 by the beginning of 2005, an increase of 165.7%. Borchen developed over the years from the Altenau and Alme branches up to the Hessenberg. During this time, even the primary school changed places because of the overwhelming number of students. The former school (like the new one) is centrally located in Wegelange. There is a museum at the origin of the village.

Economy and Infrastructure

The Paderborn-Mönkeloh junction of the A 33 motorway , the connecting motorway between the A 2 Oberhausen-Berlin and the A 44 Dortmund-Kassel , is located on the north-western edge of the village, directly behind the city limits of Paderborn . In the foreseeable future, the A 33 is to be extended beyond Bielefeld in a north-westerly direction to Osnabrück .

The L 755 runs through Nordborchen northwards through the south-western industrial areas of Paderborn to Paderborn city center and southwards through Kirchborchen to the Borchen junction of the A 33. Before the completion of the A 33 through Borchen, this was the northern section of the B 480 , which went south via Bad Wünnenberg and Brilon leads out into the Sauerland.
