history

Village name and noble family

When people first settled where the village of Sönnern is today, or what name they gave their home, cannot be determined with certainty. There are no known documents before 1232 that attest to the name Sönnern in any form. With " sundere " a forest separated from the Mark as a separate property or a piece of land left for private use was referred to. There is still a pitiful remnant of the Sundern to the northwest of Sönnern, the formerly large forest that enclosed the small settlement at the time and thus gave its name to the village of Sönnern. One of the ministerials or "ridder" of the Counts of Werl was enfeoffed for his services at the Grafenhof with the main courtyard in Sundern and thus became "Lords of Sunhere". The initially purely personal title of property became over time the hereditary family name of Sunhere . When the Counts of Werl moved their residence to Arnsberg after 1066 and have been called the Counts of (Werl-) Arnsberg since that time , the areas around Werl came to Kurköln and were subsequently loaned to the archbishop of Cologne's followers. In the course of the centuries there are various landlords / tenants in Sönnern, e.g. B. von Pentling, von Plettenberg , von Brule, von Boyderike , von Fürstenberg or von Blumenthal , to name a few. It was not until 1232 that an Albert von Sönnern appeared for the first time, as a witness in a document from the Meschede monastery . In a later document Albert is referred to as miles (soldier or knight), alongside a clericus (clergyman) Arnold von Sönnern. Another representative of this family is Wienand von Sönnern, canon at St. Patroclus Abbey in Soest . 1,311 of these donated along with his Mitkanonikern a new reliquary ( Patroklusschrein ), which in today National Museums to Berlin stands. Berthold von Sönnern is also documented in 1438 as a judge in Werl.

Borders and border disputes

Around 1545 the court court of Sönnern was roughly as follows: The road from Werl to Hilbeck formed the border with Budberg , the Salzbach limited the area to the southeast. The remaining boundaries roughly corresponded to the later municipal boundaries.

Sönnern was on the border between the county of Mark and Kurköln. Both the Counts of the Mark and the Archbishops of Cologne were extremely interested in this area, and so there were repeated disputes over the court of Sönnern. Various sales and pledges between 1300 and 1400 also did not help to clarify the legal situation. Only in the border treaty of 1561 (Recess von Sönnern) was this dispute settled; Hilbeck, Pentling and Sönnern finally came to the Grafschaft Mark. Werl was now “abroad” for the Sönnerner, and the border was literally jealously guarded. Border disputes over violations of Hude or hunting rights were not uncommon, up to bloody mass brawls.

All of this also had an impact on Sönnern's relationship with his territorial and denominational neighbors. For the Catholics of the cologne parish of Büderich, the Sönnerner were “the Märkische”, for the mostly Protestant residents of the Grafschaft Mark the Sönnerner were “the Catholics”, always on the edge, always different, always foreign, always “far away”. All of this certainly contributed to the fact that Sönnern was given the nickname "Turkey" (which is now jokingly meant). The street Zum Türkenplatz , the nickname Türkenhalle for the Schützenhalle in Sönnern and a crescent moon in the logo of the Sönnern sports club underline this.

Wars

The “guerrilla war” between neighboring villages and their sovereigns could not be compared with what the Sönnerner had to endure in the great wars. In the area around the neighboring town of Werl during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) it is reported that villages fell into desolation, fields remained undeveloped, bread or grain had to be procured from far away and diseases both for the weak and the strong dragged away. Towards the end of this war, the French Marshal Henri de Latour D'Auvergne Vicomte de Turenne (1611–1675) camped with his troops on the Sönner fields.

The Seven Years' War (1756–1763) also left its mark here. In June 1761, the area around Werl was visited by around 60,000 Allied soldiers under Duke Ferdinand of Braunschweig and around 100,000 French under Soubise . Duke Ferdinand had set up his headquarters in Werl and set up the right wing of his army via Budberg and Sönnern to Scheidingen , while the left wing stretched from Werl via Blumenthal to Bremen .

In June 1761 fighting also took place in Sönnern itself, in which eight men of the French army were killed and over 40 prisoners were taken. Then 150 infantrymen were stationed as an Allied outpost in Sönnern.

Village development

In 1582 Sönnern consisted of 22 farms and cottages, and in early 1682 a school in the village is mentioned for the first time when the schoolmaster dies. In 1838 the village had 21 "residents of Sunners subject to maintenance obligations", in 1850 there were already 51 houses, 45 stables and barns, a school house and two public buildings. By the time it was incorporated into the city of Werl on July 1, 1969, the population rose to 571 people.

Religion and church

Most of the villagers are Catholic and belonged to the Büderich parish for centuries . In 1897 construction began on the St. Antonius Church in Sönnern. There was also a vicariate house, for which a villager donated the property. In 1902, the small chapel community became legally independent and separated from the parish of St. Kunibert in Büderich as the parish vicarie of St. Antonius of Padua .

Since the time of the Reformation, the evangelical residents of the village have been looked after by the Hilbeck parish.

A small number of the villagers belong to other denominations.
