history

Rischenau was first mentioned in 1269 as Ryschenawe . The Counts of Schwalenberg founded the settlement, built a castle and granted Rischenau city ​​rights in 1280 . The town and castle existed for a little over 100 years, until both were burned down in the Eversteiner Feud in 1407 and Soest in 1447 . A measurement register from 1529 shows that the place consisted of 21 houses and around 180 inhabitants. After the establishment of the Kassel-Bremen stagecoach line in 1737, Rischenau became a post office in the southeast of Lippe. In the 19th century there was a postal line from Thurn und Taxis , which ran from Rischenau to Detmold , Lemgo and Rinteln . A second Prussian line ran from Höxter via Rischenau, Bad Pyrmont , Alverdissen and Rinteln via Minden to Bremen . In 1903 the last stagecoach line from Höxter to Rischenau was closed. In 1847 the place got the permission to hold a general and livestock market. Following a 133-year tradition, the cattle market was renamed Oktoberfest in 1980 and continued to operate.
