About this picture
Preußisch Oldendorf (view from the southwest)

Preußisch Oldendorf  [ ˈprɔɪ̯sɪʃ ˈɔldn̩dɔʁf ] ( Low German : Oldenduorp, Aulendöppe ) is a city in northeast North Rhine-Westphalia in the Ostwestfalen-Lippe region . With around 12,600 inhabitants, Preußisch Oldendorf is the smallest municipality in the East Westphalian district of Minden-Lübbecke in the Detmold administrative district . Oldendorf was mentioned in writing for the first time in the 10th century and was elevated to a town in 1719. In 1806 the addition “Prussian” was added to the place name (officially in 1815) for the purpose of better differentiation in rail and postal traffic. The current territorial layout of the city goes back to a territorial reform carried out in 1973. Please click to listen!Play

Geographical location

Topography of the urban area
The Great Aue near Preussisch Oldendorf
View into the Eggetal in east direction

Preußisch Oldendorf is located in the northeast of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia and in the northeast of East Westphalia-Lippe on the border with Lower Saxony . The urban area is bounded in the south by the ridge of the Wiehengebirge . In the south-west, the Wiehengebirge and the Egge form the Eggetal , in which the Börninghausen district is located. The highest peaks in the low mountain range of the city, which take up around a third of the area of ​​the municipality, are sorted from west to east: Limberg (190 m), Maschberg (190 m), Glösinghauser Berg (289 m) and Alte Verbrenn (291 m). To the north of this begins the largely flat North German Plain , in which around two thirds of the urban area lie at a height of around 50 m. In terms of natural space, the lowlands in the north of the urban area can be divided into the Lübbecker Lößland , located directly north of the Wiehen Mountains, and the Rahden-Diepenauer Geest in the far north, which extends to the urban area .

The still young Große Aue flows into the city from the south through a breakthrough valley in the Wiehen Mountains . It flows through the urban area from south to north and takes in some tributaries, of which the Börninghauser Mühlenbach and the Flöthe flowing to the right are the largest tributaries in the urban area. The Great Dieck River rises at Balkenkamp or Oldendorfer Switzerland , which initially flows northwards west of the Great Aue, then partially forms the northern border of the city and flows west past Levern to Rahden into the Große Aue. The Große Aue and the Großer Dieckfluss both cross under the Mittelland Canal , which runs through the northern urban area to the west-east.

Neighboring communities

The town of Preußisch Oldendorf borders in the north on the municipality of Stemwede and the town of Espelkamp , in the east on the town of Lübbecke , in the south on the municipality of Hüllhorst and on the municipality of Rödinghausen in the Herford district and in the west on the Lower Saxony municipalities of Melle and Bad Essen in the district Osnabrück .

Expansion and use of the urban area

The urban area has an area of ​​68.75470 km². The maximum south-north extension is around 11 km, the maximum east-west extension around 10 km. The highest point of the municipality is the Alte Verbrenn in the southeast of the urban area with 291.1 m. The lowest point is in the northwest of the city in the valley of the Great Dieck River at 45.8 m, with the entire northern border of the city not exceeding 50 meters at any point.

The area of ​​the city is mainly used for agriculture and is accordingly rural. Essentially only the Wiehengebirge and the Egge are forested. The Hollwinkeler Holz is the only smaller forest area in the lowlands. Since the Wiehengebirge and Egge represent a relatively wide part of the Wiehengebirge, the proportion of forest with almost 20 percent of the total area is relatively high compared to the neighboring municipalities.

City structure

Districts of Preussisch Oldendorf

According to Section 3 (1) of its main statutes, the city of Preußisch Oldendorf is divided into the following ten districts (population figures on January 1, 2007 in brackets):

For many things, the city is responsible for the Lower Saxon village of Büscherheide due to geographic conditions , e.g. B. Water supply, garbage disposal, sewage, schools, fire protection, church, etc. A formal connection between Büscherheide and Preußisch Oldendorf was sought in the 1970s and 1980s by the residents there.

climate

Precipitation distribution in neighboring Lübbecke

The climate in Preußisch Oldendorf is determined by its location in the ocean-continental transition area of Central Europe and by its location in the North German Plain. The area is mostly in the sub-Atlantic maritime climate , but has temporary continental influences . The winters are mostly mild under the influence of the Atlantic, the summers are moderately warm and the rainfall is relatively evenly distributed. The annual mean temperature is around 9 ° C, which is influenced by the altitude. The elevations of the Wiehengebirge, especially areas of the Eggetal, are around 0.5 ° C cooler. The northern urban area is a little warmer. The precipitation is significantly influenced by the location on the leeward side of the Wiehengebirge. The Teutoburg Forest and the Wiehengebirge shield the urban area from the damp weather fronts coming from the Atlantic from a preferential wind direction south-west. Although there is no longer any noticeable geographical barrier towards the North Sea and the distance to the sea is relatively small, the prevailing wind direction is so dominant that the area north of the Wiehengebirge is one of the areas of East Westphalia-Lippe with the lowest rainfall . The mean annual rainfall is between 650 and 700 mm. Only the altitude in the Wiehengebirge, in particular the villages in the Eggetal, is more precipitous due to the pronounced uphill rain. Here the annual amount of precipitation deviates by up to 100 mm. For concrete monthly values, reference is made in particular to Rahden and Lübbecke , which are in a comparable natural area and neighboring .

history

The ruin on the Limberg

The area in the fertile Lübbecker Loessland is part of the old settlement country . Prehistoric finds in Hedem, for example, point to rural settlements from the 3rd century to the 4th / 5th. Century after Chr. It is no coincidence that the town of Preußisch Oldendorf developed in its current location. The location of the city is largely due to its convenient location on an early medieval military and trade route, today's B 65 , north of the Wiehen Mountains from Minden to Osnabrück or Bramsche . The southern districts are also located at a transition through the Wiehengebirge, through which roads led to the imperial city of Herford and on to Bielefeld or Detmold . The city's beginnings go back to the 10th century. The ecclesiam in Aldenthorp ( parish church in Oldendorf) is mentioned in an undated traditional note by Minden Bishop Milo von Minden (term of office from 969–996, see also the list of the bishops of Minden ) .

The Bishop of Minden was the largest landlord in Oldendorf. In the 14th century the acquired counts of Ravensberg , the castle Limberg final of Bishopric of Minden . Large parts of the area of ​​today's city belonged to the County of Ravensberg . The Limberg office is mentioned for the first time in 1535. As one of the four Ravensberg offices, it comprised large parts of the present-day urban area as well as more southerly areas such as Rödinghausen. The Limberg office was retained until the end of the county, but the official seat changed alternately from Limberg to Oldendorf, Bünde and Börninghausen. With the County of Ravensberg, the Limberg office fell to Brandenburg-Prussia in 1648 .

Around 1570 Oldendorf was called Flecken . Around 1701 the place was considered a "freyen privileged Wigbold ". On April 17, 1719, the place was raised to a city by King Friedrich Wilhelm I. From 1719 the young city introduced excise duties . The municipal constitution with a mayor and two senators was introduced in 1743. In 1783, Oldendorf already had 41 tradespeople as craftsmen and merchants who also farmed from their estates. As everywhere in Minden-Ravensberg , the citizens opened up a new source of income with the processing of flax into linen in proto-industrialist homework. This trade was promoted by the state of Prussia in the sense of mercantilism . As early as 1669, the Great Elector set up a linen bed for lion linen - white thread linen or lion linen - in Oldendorf. The advent of mechanical looms and the increasing concentration of the textile industry on the large centers, e.g. B. Bielefeld (cf. Ravensberger Spinnerei ), led to the decline of the textile industry in Oldendorf from the middle of the 19th century. During this time the people suffered great hardship and many citizens of Oldendorf were forced to emigrate, some of them as far as North America. From 1807 to 1813 the area was de facto French. Initially until 1811 in the Kingdom of Westphalia ( Département du Weser ), then directly in the French Empire ( Département de l'Ems-Supérieur ). After the end of Napoleonic rule, the area became Prussian again in 1813. The administrative structures were reorganized by 1816. The Limberg office was dissolved and 10 independent municipalities in the area of ​​today's city - today's districts - were combined in the offices of Preußisch Oldendorf and Alswede in the province of Westphalia from 1832 . From 1816 the area belonged to the Rahden district (later renamed the Lübbecke district ).

In 1840 the "Amalia" colliery was founded to mine hard coal and soon also iron stone. Owners and managers changed frequently, and in 1875 the mine was given the new name "Rudolph". In 1921 the mining activities were stopped.

From around 1860 the nearby Ravensberger Land and especially the nearby Bünde developed into a center of the European tobacco industry . The residents of Oldendorf began to manufacture cigars at home and in other places . On October 1, 1899, Preußisch Oldendorf in the district of Holzhausen-Heddinghausen was connected to the railroad when the branch line from Bünde (Westphalia) to Bassum ( Ravensberger Bahn ) was put into operation. Almost a year later, on August 9, 1900, the branch line via Preußisch Oldendorf and Bad Essen to Bohmte Ost was added with a connection to the main line Münster (Westf.) - Osnabrück - Bremen ( KBS 385).

"Oldendorf" already had the official name "Oldendorf under the Limberge" in the 14th and 15th centuries. The place name was first added in 1806 and officially in 1816, the addition "Prussian" for the purpose of better differentiation in rail and postal traffic. The otherwise common in the region ( Westf. ) As an official name addition would not have been clear (see Oldendorf ). Ravensberg came to the Kingdom of Westphalia and the "Amt Limberg" was dissolved. The city of Oldendorf became the canton capital with 90 houses and 550 inhabitants (together with Holzhausen and Börninghausen). It also had a customs post on the border with the principality / diocese of Osnabrück. When the province of Westphalia fell to Prussia in 1815, Oldendorf received the addition "Prussian". In 1906 the town hall was built. In 1910 the construction of the Mittelland Canal began in what is now the city and in December 1914 this section was watered. On Christmas Day 1915 the dam broke at Hedem and flooded large parts of the northern part of the city, which is deeper than the canal. Parts of the livestock were killed. After the Second World War, automatic winding machines largely displaced manual labor in the tobacco industry, and its decline was accelerated by foreign and technological competition. A balance developed in the form of the furniture industry, margarine production and brickworks , which were established in the area of ​​today's city at the turn of the century. In 1958 the outdoor pool was expanded.

On January 1, 1973, in the course of the reorganization ( Bielefeld Act ), the offices of Preußisch Oldendorf and Alswede were dissolved and the new town of Preußisch Oldendorf was formed with ten districts. At the same time, the town of Oldendorf became part of the newly formed Minden-Lübbecke district . In 1974 Oldendorf became a climatic health resort , in 1981 also the district of Holzhausen, and in 1993 Börninghausen. The district of Holzhausen has been a state-approved spa since December 2007 and since then has been given the addition of "bath". In 1998, the military use of the fuel depot, which was built in 1939 as air tank farm 2 / VI and partly in Lower Saxony, ended. In the last operated by the Bundeswehr Corps Depot 155 was last u. a. the material for the field replacement battalion 130 and the Jägerbataillon 76 stored.

Reorganization of the territory in 1973

The city of Pr. Oldendorf largely corresponds to the former office of Pr. Oldendorf

The current city was created on January 1, 1973 as part of the regional reform in the wake of the Bielefeld Act . The former Preußisch Oldendorf office gave the most populous municipality of Blasheim to the city of Lübbecke, but in return received the municipalities of Hedem and Lashorst, which belonged to the then Alswede office . The original idea was to make the Mittelland Canal the northern border of the new town of Pr. Oldendorf, as in Lübbecke, and to incorporate these areas into the new municipality of Stemwede and Espelkamp. However, this was fiercely fought by the affected communities of Getmold and Schröttinghausen , which, if they were to give up their independence, at least wanted to be incorporated as a whole. For a long time, the southern communities called for the formation of a large community of Börninghausen-Holzhausen, which then did not materialize. As a result, it can be stated that all affected communities in the city of Preußisch Oldendorf were dissolved. These formerly legally independent municipalities are today's ten districts.

Religions

Church in Bad Holzhausen

At the latest after the secularization of the Principality of Minden and due to the ties of the county areas to Protestant Prussia from the 17th century, the area is predominantly Protestant-Lutheran . There are a total of three Protestant parishes in the city in Preußisch Oldendorf (St. Dionysius Church), Bad Holzhausen and Börninghausen (St. Ulricus Church). The Catholic rectory in Lübbecke has a parish vicarie in Preussisch Oldendorf.

An indication of the distribution can be the denomination of the students in the city. Accordingly, in 2007, 1104 of the students were Protestant, 69 Catholic and 57 Islamic. 135 stated that they belonged to another denomination and 152 did not belong to any denomination.

The Jewish synagogue community of Pr. Oldendorf, which was founded in 1677, did not survive the era of National Socialism . The synagogue community in the city was once the third largest synagogue community in the old Lübbecke district after Lübbecke and Rahden . From around 1797 a Jewish school belonged to the community. The synagogue was consecrated in 1863. The Jewish school was abandoned in 1938 because it was in disrepair. The synagogue on Mindener Strasse was also demolished in 1957. The Jewish members of the synagogue community had to leave the place by 1938 and did not survive the Holocaust except for the butcher and businessman Alfred Ehrlich. The last structural reminder of the Jewish community is the Jewish cemetery , which contains 58 tombstones from the period 1740 to 1937.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of Preußisch Oldendorf.svg

In 1976 the Detmold district government granted the city the right to use a coat of arms and a flag. The coat of arms shows a red rafter in silver (white) , above it 2 red six-pointed stars, below it 2 red diagonally crossed keys. The flag shows the city coat of arms, which has been shifted to a pole on red and white stripes.

The coat of arms, like the coat of arms of the district, shows two typical symbols of the heraldry of this region. The rafter stands for the former affiliation to the County of Ravensberg , which had this symbol very similar in the coat of arms. The crossed keys are a symbol for the diocese of Minden or for the secular territories that arose from it, Hochstift Minden and Principality of Minden , to which initially all areas of today's city belonged, until 1815 at least a part of today's city belonged. The coat of arms of Preußisch Oldendorf before 1910 only showed the three rafters that can be found in the coat of arms of the Counts of Ravensberg. On February 25, 1910, the coat of arms was adopted in its current form and only showed a single rafter and the key of the Apostle Peter . The third symbol in the coat of arms, the stars, show a similarity to the coat of arms of the neighboring Lübbecke and were probably borrowed from it. The star comes from the coat of arms of those of Schwalenberg and is still shown today in the coat of arms of Schieder-Schwalenberg ; Volkwin van Schwalenberg was Bishop of Minden and granted Lübbecke city rights in 1279.

Town twinning

Preußisch Oldendorf has had a partnership with the Austrian Sankt Oswald-Möderbrugg since 1982 .
