history

3-mark emergency money note

In 1231, on the occasion of a reorganization of the Diocese of Paderborn, a certificate was issued, in which it concerns the affiliation of Scutemere (today Schötmar). In the second half of the 14th century, the noblemen of Lippe built a castle in Schötmar which was abandoned towards the end of the Middle Ages. There are no visible traces of the complex known as “Nyggenborch” (New Castle) or popularly known as “Wewelsburg”, which was located in the immediate vicinity of Kilian's Church. In 1731 Schötmar becomes the official seat and in 1921 receives city rights. Until the incorporation , Schötmar was the industrial center of the surrounding area with a growing population.

The fact that the church was consecrated to St. Kilian (a missionary who came from Scotland in 686) leads to the assumption that the first Kilian's church was built long before it was mentioned in a document, namely in the 9th century at the latest around 836. The name "Schötmar", which developed from Scutemere over different stages , allows conclusions to be drawn about a much earlier and since then uninterrupted settlement of the place. Relationships with other place names ending in -mar in northern Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and England refer to the first settlements in pre-Christian times.

The prefix “Schöt” in the place name Schötmar is related to words like Schott (gate, bolt) and the English to shut (to close), which refers to a wall, a dam in the “sea”, in the “Mar”, i.e. in the moor or in the Swamp references. This name formation shows how the crossing over or the ford through the rivers Bega and Werre already got an important meaning in the earliest times and led to the first human settlements above the crossing. Religious places of worship were also established there in pre-Christian times. After Christianization, the first Kilian's church was built from wood or stone. The original Kilian's Church has been Protestant since the Reformation and has been Protestant-Reformed since 1604 . It has been the center of Schötmar for over one thousand two hundred years. The current "neo-Gothic" building dates from 1850 to 1854.

From 1909 to 1924, the Bad Salzufler and Schötmarscher Straßenbahn GmbH trams ran between Bad Salzuflen and Schötmar.

In 1920 Schötmar was made a town.

During the hyperinflation of 1923, Schötmar issued his own emergency money in August 1921 .

Incorporation

On 1 January 1969 the city Schötmar under § 3 of the Law on the reorganization of the district Lemgo ( Lemgo Act ) with the existing town of Bad Salzuflen and communities Biemsen-Ahmsen , Ehrsen-Breden , Grastrup-Hölsen , Holzhausen , Lockhausen , Papenhausen , Retzen , Werl-Aspe , Wülfer-Bexten and Wüsten merged to form the new city of Bad Salzuflen, which is the legal successor to the aforementioned cities and municipalities.

At that date, Schötmar counted 9132 inhabitants = 1867 inhabitants per square kilometer (for comparison Bad Salzuflen total: 479 inhabitants / km²).

Ev.-ref. Kilian's Church

The majority of the population of Schötmar is Protestant like in the whole of Lippe and belongs to the Lippe regional church . For the Evangelical Reformed parish in Schötmar with three parishes, the Kilian's Church is the central place of worship. It is the largest church in the Lippe regional church . The church and parish structurally belong to the Bad Salzuflen class of the Lippische Landeskirche. The churches of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Schötmar are the Trinity Church on Eduard-Wolff-Straße in Schötmar and the Reconciliation Church on Schelpstraße in Knetterheide (OT Werl-Aspe).

Former synagogue at Aechternstrasse 19

There is no longer a Jewish community in Schötmar.

Culture and sights

Buildings

  • Ev.-ref. Kilian's Church : It is a three-aisled , neo-Gothic hall church with a 5/8 end , which was built by Friedrich Heinrich Ludwig Goedecke in 1850–54. The west tower has an octagonal upper floor, which iscrownedby a ridge-like lantern with a steep tent roof. While the central nave is provided with a wooden saddle cover, the side aisles are flat covered. Renovations and restorations took place in 1960, 1980 and 2004. There have been several previous buildings: Of a first church building, probably made of wood around 800, only the walking horizon could be proven. Before the year 1000, a small hall building 10 meters wide stood at this point. After 1150, a three-aisled cruciform basilica was builton the foundations of the hall building, whichis likely to have been quite similar tothe Kilian's Church in Lügde . This had to be demolished in 1847 because of dilapidation. The biggest church today of Lippe Church can on weekdays from 10 to 17 pm and Saturday from 10 to 13h as Open Church be visited. The Katharinenglocke from 1437,taken over from the previous building, rings in the tower of Kilian's Church. It sounds with the nominal fis 1 –4/16 (~ 1500 kg; Ø 1270 mm) and is the oldest bell still in use inthe town of Bad Salzuflen. It is also the oldest continuously in use "monument" in the city. In 1980 it was supplemented by two bells - g 1 −4/16 (880 kg; Ø 1100 mm) and a 1 −3/16 (668 kg; Ø 990 mm) - from the Rincker bell foundry in the sense of the former medieval disposition.

After changing owners, the complex became the seat of the von Stietencron family in 1831 . From 1909 it was expanded to include the new entrance hall and the stairwell on the entrance side. In 1949 the castle and park became the property of the town of Schötmar. Even today the castle gives a lively picture of the feudal world of the 18th century. The richly furnished rooms are used by the city music school.
