Padberg Castle

middle Ages

Padberg first time was mentioned in a document on June 1, 1030 as the land ownership in Ittergau of Bernhard of the House of Haolde, later Earl of Padberg . This had to take possession of the Paderborn Bishop Meinwerk as a fief; he was the progenitor of the Counts of Padberg.

The county of Padberg , which also emerged around 1030, had already expired in 1120. The count's main seat was the old castle , also called Oberhaus Padberg, in Padberg. In 1057 the construction of the old church of St. Peter began . In 1101, Count Erpo von Padberg donated his own church in Werdohl (the predecessor of Kilian's Church) and land to the Boke monastery (later moved to Flechtdorf , a current district of Diemelsee ).

The place developed from the 13th century to a town-like settlement. In 1201 there is talk of an urbs Patberg , in 1204 of a forum Patberg . So Padberg had a market early on. In 1217, however, there is talk of a villa (village) that the Lords of Padberg considered to be part of their castle. In 1234 an oppidum Patberg is handed down and in 1247 for the first time eight consules oppidi Patberg (councilors of the city of Padberg) mentioned by name .

On March 12, 1263, the lords of the castle, Johann and Gottschalk von Padberg, settled their dispute with the citizens of Padberg and granted them extensive self-administration. At that time they were the city lords, as they were still called around 1453. They received the third part of all city revenue. The guards of the city gates were paid by them. The city judge was appointed jointly by the lords of the castle and the councilors.

The old Padberg Castle was considered impregnable from 1250 to 1397 and was one of the four pillars of the Archdiocese of Cologne . In the 14th century there was a split into the Old House Padberg and the New House Padberg. The Lords of Padberg built another castle next to the old castle, which was also called the lower house of Padberg .

In the feud between the Archbishopric of Cologne and Count Otto von Waldeck over the Nordenau and Canstein castles , the new castle was conquered by the Waldeckers in 1343 and only returned in a peace treaty in 1346. In 1391 Friedrich von Padberg, Kurt Spiegel zum Desenberg and Rabe von Canstein founded the Bengler Knight Association . The city had two city gates at that time; one towards Padberg Castle and one towards Bredelar Monastery .

Since the end of the 14th century, the city has also been called the Ring Padberg . Padberg was repeatedly drawn into the struggles of its city lords. The archbishops of Cologne and the princes of Waldeck fought for sovereignty for centuries. In 1381 the Padberg family moved against the city of Frankenberg . In addition, the Padberg knights take part in numerous wars and raids. In the years 1388/89 there were numerous feuds. The Landgrave of Hesse, the Duke of Braunschweig and the Bishop of Paderborn conquered and destroyed the city in 1391. However, the castles could not be taken. Padberg was burned down again in 1393 and 1394.

During the Padberg feud , citizens from Korbach conquered and destroyed the city in 1414. Padberg was then only rebuilt unpaved. For this, the Counts of Waldeck reaffirmed the Padberg citizens' rights to the city. In 1415 the old and the new castle had to be mortgaged to pay the high ransom and war costs.

Padberg Castle and Ring became a Hessian open house in 1413 . After the reconquest by Cologne in 1466, Padberg became a Cologne Offenhaus again seven years later.

In the feud against the Mainz monastery in 1516, Friedrich von Padberg allied himself with Götz von Berlichingen . In March 1516 Götz von Berlichingen spent three days at the castle as guests of Johann and Friedrich von Padberg. He planned and began his attack on Count Philipp von Waldeck in Padberg .

Johann von Padberg moved to Beringhausen in the 1550s after the two castles fell into disrepair . After his death in 1557, his son Philipp received the upper house and his son Friedrich the lower house.

Diphtheria and plague appeared in Padberg at the beginning of the 17th century.

During the time of the witch hunts, nine and four witch trials are documented for Padberg from 1588 to 1590 and from 1593 to 1602 .

During the Thirty Years War, troops billeted in the city for the first time in 1619. In 1636 the city was looted and burned down.

Padberg synagogue

The Padberg Castle went from a castle seat of the line of the House of Lords of Padberg out and fell in 1677 to the family of Stockhausen . In 1800 Alhard von Stockhausen began with an unfinished new building. The current building dates from 1890/91.

In 1758 130 peasant riflemen from the Electorate of Cologne were repulsed while attempting to penetrate Padberg. In 1768 two companies from the Electorate of Cologne moved against the Padberg ring and occupied it. The widow of Josef von Padberg bought the lower house in 1801 and thus united the two houses.

Towards the end of the Middle Ages, the place seems to have lost its urban characteristics. It no longer appears among the cities and freedoms of the Duchy of Westphalia towards the end of the 18th century. Padberg belonged to the patrimonial court of the same name .

Jewish life in and around Padberg

The first Jewish residents were mentioned in Padberg around 1672. In 1751 the first synagogue was built, which is considered the only half-timbered synagogue in Westphalia.

The number of Jewish citizens rose to 95 by 1851.

In 1872, two Jewish citizens were represented in the six-member municipal council.

At the beginning of the 1930s, the Jewish community in Padberg was dissolved because there were no longer enough members.

Modern times

Parish Church of St. Maria Magdalena

In 1802 the place fell with the Duchy of Westphalia to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Darmstadt . In 1807 he was included in the Marsberg office.

From 1816 Padberg belonged to Prussia.

Since 1841 Padberg was part of the Niedermarsberg office in the Brilon district .

The patrimonial court of the Lords of Padberg was dissolved in 1849.

The Count of Droste zu Vischering in Darfeld acquired the estate of the Padberg lords in 1878.

In 1912 the new church of St. Maria Magdalena in Padberg was built in the baroque style.

Second World War

Towards the end of the Second World War, a German military unit set up in the old church. However, the mayor and the castle owner Droste zu Vischering succeeded in dissuading the commanding captain from fighting the approaching Americans. The soldiers took refuge in the woods to avoid capture.

On March 31, 1945, American troops entered Padberg without encountering any resistance. On April 1, Padberg was searched and Wehrmacht soldiers were taken away. A Wehrmacht soldier, a German-Dane, was shot by “comrades” in the barn at Gut Beringhausen and buried in the village cemetery.

Padberger participated with former prisoners and other Germans in the looting of four camps in Bredelar. The equipment left behind by the Wehrmacht also disappeared.

At times, a US medical unit with 40 ambulances was stationed in the village. At that time around 100 so-called foreign workers were housed in the rifle hall, who have now been released. There were raids by foreign workers at individual farmsteads.

In April, the US occupation in the village was replaced by Belgians.

On April 28, a gun battle broke out on the Diemel between four Belgian soldiers and two men of the Waffen SS . One Belgian was killed and another wounded. The Belgian who was killed was buried in the village cemetery.

During this war 40 Padbergers died as soldiers of the Wehrmacht, most of them on the Eastern Front .

Until 1975 the place belonged to the office of Niedermarsberg and had 689 inhabitants (1961) with an area of ​​12.24 km². 630 of them were Catholic and 59 Protestant. Of the labor force, 40.4% were employed in agriculture and forestry, 45.3% in manufacturing and the remainder in other occupations.

On January 1, 1975, the municipality of Padberg became part of the city of Marsberg as part of the municipal reorganization .
