history

The history of the place is closely linked to the history of the Corvey Monastery, which is important throughout Europe . The first mention is in a Corveyer deed from the year 887. The East Franconian king and later Roman emperor Karl III. notarized the donation of the village "Ovenhus" to the monastery. Ovenhausen has belonged to the secular rule of the Duchy of Saxony since the founding, from the High Middle Ages under the government of the Corvey Abbey and was part of the Holy Roman Empire . The Principality of Corvey was part of the Lower Rhine-Westphalian Empire from the 16th century . Like most areas of the Abbey of Corvey and the Principality of Paderborn , Ovenhausen was devastated considerably in the Thirty Years and Seven Years Wars . In 1794 Corvey was raised to the prince-bishopric. In 1802/1803 the principality was occupied by the Kingdom of Prussia. In Napoleonic times the place was part of the Kingdom of Westphalia. In 1815 Ovenhausen belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia and from 1871 it was part of the German Empire. 1945–1949 Ovenhausen was part of the British zone of occupation, from 1946 governed by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and from 1949 also by the Federal Republic of Germany.

The St. Michaelskapelle on the Heiligenberg southeast of the place was built by two Corveyer monks in the year 1078, the patron saint is St. Salome .

The place became known through the story of an Algerian slave by August Franz von Haxthausen , the original version of the Jewish book by Annette von Droste-Hülshoff : "The farmer bailiff von Ovenhausen had a servant Hermann Winkelhannes in autumn 1782, with whom he a good, fresh fellow who was probably satisfied. "

The composer Walter Steffens wrote operas based on both the novella "Die Judenbuche" and the life story of the historical Winkelhannes.

The Uhlmann House, which was built in the village in 1805, is now in the LWL open-air museum in Detmold and also documents the fate of the Jewish Uhlmann family, who lived in it until their deportation during the Nazi era in December 1941.

On January 1, 1970 Ovenhausen was incorporated into the district town of Höxter.
