Along the Heder are so-called Plänerschotter , consisting essentially of limestone there are pebbles to find. At the end of the Ice Age, more than 10,000 years ago, the older layers were covered by wind deposits, the loess and sand loess . A geological landmark of the city is the geological history of the relatively young calcareous sinter formation of the Kütfelsen on the market square. Limestone and marl stones from the Upper Cretaceous Period of the Middle Ages follow the Ice Age deposits . These come up to the surface of the terrain in the south of Salzkotten. The deeper subsoil is made up of folded clay and sandstones from ancient times.

climate
Like Ostwestfalen-Lippe, Salzkotten belongs to the oceanic climatic area of northwest Germany , to which it owes low temperature differences and mild winters. However, continental influences are already at work . The temperature in summer is higher and the nights are cooler than in closer proximity to the coast. However, the surrounding low mountain ranges are also involved in reducing the amount of precipitation and the higher number of sunny days .
At the 92.5 m above sea level. NN located at 51 ° 42 'N and 08 ° 34' O station is obtained for the period 1961 to 1990, average annual precipitation of 810 mm sum.
history
Prehistory and early history
One of the oldest evidence of human settlement in the area of today's town of Salzkotten is the living space of Thüle .
Excavations in the area of the new building area near the Dreckburg east of the city center have shown that there was already a settlement in the middle of the 6th millennium BC. Has given. A continuous settlement from the Iron Age (around 700 BC) to the early Middle Ages around the year 800 could be proven.
Middle Ages and early modern times
| Capitals and cities of the Principality of Paderborn until 1802/03 (as of 1789): |
|---|
| Paderborn , Warburg , Brakel , Borgentreich | Beverungen , Borgholz , Bredenborn , Büren , Driburg , Dringenberg , Gehrden , Calenberg , Kleinenberg , Lichtenau , Lippspringe , Lügde , Nieheim , Peckelsheim , Salzkotten , Steinheim , Vörden , Willebadessen , Wünnenberg |
In the early Middle Ages, the area belonged to the Duchy of Saxony , which was conquered by Charlemagne in stages between 772 and 804 and joined to the Frankish Empire . Throughout the Middle Ages, salt mining was an integral part of the city's economic life and associated with special rights. The salt works are mentioned for the first time in 1160, when the Hardehausen monastery was awarded three houses for salt boiling in "Saltcoten". In 1216, the settlement of Vielsen at that time is called a parish, although it has certainly existed for a long time. Because of the armed conflict between the diocese of Paderborn, founded in 799, and the Archbishop of Cologne , Bishop Simon I forced the residents of the surrounding villages to settle at the salt springs to protect his western border . The newly established city, whose citizens are made up of salzers and former farmers, was granted city rights in 1247.
In 1255 Bishop Simon was taken prisoner by the Archbishop of Cologne in a dispute. He was only released when he signed a contract a year later to demolish Vielsen Castle . This treaty of 1256 also places Salzkotten under the joint rule of the Archbishop of Cologne and the Bishop of Paderborn. This common rule lasted until 1294. In 1340 almost the entire city was destroyed by a great fire, whereby the original city charter was lost. That is why Bishop Bernhard , who is considered the first prince-bishop of the prince-bishopric of Paderborn according to today's view, renews the city and civil rights in the same year.
Since the beginning of the 16th century, the prince-bishopric of Paderborn and thus also Salzkotten has been part of the Lower Rhine-Westphalian Empire . During the Thirty Years War , Salzkotten was taken by storm by Hessian troops in December 1633 and burned down except for a few houses and the salt works. However, the city can recover very quickly.
19th and 20th centuries
In 1802/03 the Paderborn Monastery was occupied by the Kingdom of Prussia . In Napoleonic times the place was part of the Kingdom of Westphalia . Salzkotten has been part of the Kingdom of Prussia since 1815, and from 1871 it is part of the German Empire . 1945–1949 Salzkotten is 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 .
Religions
The majority of the population of Salzkotten is, like the rest of the Paderborn monastery, also Catholic . Since the merger in 2014, there has been a pastoral room in Salzkotten within the Deanery Büren-Delbrück of the Archdiocese of Paderborn : It includes the parishes of Sankt Philippus Neri Holsen for threshold with Holsen, Holser Heide and Winkhausen (popularly called the "United States") , Sankt Antonius Einsiedler Mantinghausen , Sankt Petrus und Paulus Scharmede , Sankt Laurentius Thüle and Sankt Franziskus Xaverius Verlar as well as the old pastoral association Salzkotten with St. Johannes Beheading with the branch church Sankt Marien in Salzkotten with Vielsen (local church razed), Sankt Matthäus Niederntudorf , Sankt Georg Oberntudorf , Sankt Petrus Upsprunge with Bosenholz and Sankt Bartholomaeus Verne for Verne with Enkhausen and Klein Verne. In addition, Salzkotten is the seat of the mother house of the Congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of Salzkotten .
Within the Evangelical Church District Paderborn of the Evangelical Church of Westphalia , the city of Salzkotten belongs to three parishes. The Evangelical Parish of Salzkotten with its church in Salzkotten covers most of the districts. Only Oberntudorf and Niederntudorf belong to the parish Wewelsburg of the Evangelical parish of Büren and Scharmede to the Evangelical parish of Elsen .
The community of Evangelical Christians-Baptists has its center in the district of Upsprunge on Kösliner Straße .
Traces of Jewish life in Salzkotten can be traced back to the 18th century. The Jewish community at that time, which had around 100 members, built its synagogue in 1825 at what is now Isaak-Auerbach-Platz , which reached its peak in 1863 with 143 members. During the November pogroms , the synagogue was destroyed on November 10, 1938, and the Jewish community was destroyed by deporting its members between December 10, 1941 and July 28, 1942. A memorial has been located at the former site of the synagogue since 1986.
An indication of the distribution can be the denomination of the Salzkotten pupils. In 2007, 1,783 of the students were Catholic, 512 Protestant, 79 Islamic. 261 stated that they belonged to another denomination, and 222 did not belong to any denomination.
Incorporations
On January 1, 1975, when the Sauerland / Paderborn Act came into force , the previous town of Salzkotten and the municipalities of Mantinghausen, Niederntudorf, Oberntudorf, Scharmede, Schwelle, Thüle, Upsprunge, Verlar and Verne of the Salzkotten-Boke district from the Büren district joined together to form the new one officially free city of Salzkotten, which will be incorporated into the new Paderborn district. The legal successor to the office of Salzkotten-Boke is the new town of Salzkotten.
The three northern Lippe communities of the now dissolved office Salzkotten-Boke, Anreppen, Bentfeld and Boke, come to Delbrück , while the three western Lippe communities Garfeln , Hörste and Rebbeke are incorporated into the city of Lippstadt according to Section 45 of the Münster / Hamm Act and thereby become Soest district come.

Coat of arms, seal and flag

Salzkotten received its town charter in 1247 from Simon I of Lippe , Bishop of Paderborn . The oldest city seal comes from this time and shows the Bishop of Paderborn and the Archbishop of Cologne as joint city lords. After the common rule ended in 1295, only the Paderborn bishop remained on the seal.
In the early 17th century the three-leaf suddenly appeared on the city seal with John the Baptist as a shield holder. Possibly it is just a local symbol, it is possibly derived from the cross on the coat of arms of the Hochstift Paderborn or from three salting tools. Salt production was of great importance in Salzkotten for a long time. Before the Prussian king approved the coat of arms in its current colors in 1908, the trefoil was green on a gold background.
- Description of the seal
- “The city has an official seal with the city coat of arms and the inscription 'Salzkotten, Kreis Paderborn'.
