geography

Oesdorf is about 5 km (as the crow flies ) northeast of the Marsberg core city in a basin below the Eggewald and at the beginning of the Sauerland. Neighboring villages are Meerhof in the northwest and Westheim in the southeast. The village is surrounded by the Vor der Egge conservation area .

history

Oesdorf was first mentioned in 1170 in a deed of foundation of the Bredelar monastery as "Osningthorpe". The first pastor was mentioned in a document in 1238 with the name Wydekindus, an original parish church was mentioned in 1250 as one of the churches to which the knight Adam von Aspe made a donation. In 1518 the Oesdorf property was sold by the Bredelar monastery to the Dalheim monastery , which shaped Oesdorf primarily in economic terms. The current parish church of St. Johannes Baptist was consecrated in 1893. It owns valuable stone and wood sculptures from the 15th century, which come from the former Dalheim monastery.

On January 1, 1975 Oesdorf was incorporated into the new town of Marsberg.

coat of arms

Blazon : “In red a silver (white) ear slanted to the left; above a golden (yellow) crown and underneath a golden (yellow) bell; all floating. "

The cereal ear stands for agriculture; it comes from the coat of arms of the former Wünnenberg office, to which Oesdorf belonged until 1975. The colors also come from the coat of arms of the former office. The bell symbolizes the Johanneskirche. The crown is considered one of the attributes of the Mother of God , which in turn relates to the Mother of God grotto in the washing yard; both symbols represent the Christian tradition of the community. The colors red and gold (yellow) are the colors of the Principality of Paderborn, to which Oesdorf used to belong.
