About this picture

Schieder-Schwalenberg ( Low German : Schüer-Schwalenberg ) is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany and belongs to the Lippe district . The districts of Schieder and Glashütte are Kneipp health resorts .

geography

Geographical location

Schieder-Schwalenberg is located in the southeast of the Lippe district in North Rhine-Westphalia between the Teutoburg Forest and the Weser Uplands in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park . The river Emmer flows through the districts of Wöbbel and Schieder and is dammed to form the Schiedersee (also called Emmerstausee).

The next larger cities are Detmold (20 km west), Paderborn (40 km south-west) and Bielefeld (50 km north-west).

geology

Geothermal productivity of the urban area

In the municipal area, the Lipper Bergland predominantly consists of clay , marl and sandstones from the Middle Ages . In the Emmer and Niese valleys , the subsoil consists partly of limestone . These sedimentary rocks are between one and one and a half kilometers thick. They have been folded and lifted out over the course of the earth's history.

Under these layers are the solid rocks of the ancient times , especially from Devonian , Carboniferous and Permian . The dissolution of gypsum and rock salt in the deeper subsoil resulted in sinkholes and also in extensive funnel-shaped areas in areas of the above-mentioned flowing waters , which were subsequently leveled again by loose sediments . In the valleys, the bedrock is covered with loose rocks from the Ice Age , namely with gravel , sand and loess .

The limestone, sand and fissured clay stones of the shell limestone and from sections of the Keuper are good aquifers . In some cases, however, the groundwater is severely salty due to the solution of gypsum and rock salt in the deeper subsoil, so that it cannot be used as drinking water.

The western and southwestern urban area is covered with fertile parabrown earth from silty loam to loamy silt and is used intensively for agriculture. In places where the deposited loess was eroded , solid rocks from the Middle Ages reach the surface, which are largely covered with brown earth or pseudogley brown earth and are primarily used for forestry purposes. In the eastern part of the city, loess-rich floating earths predominate, covering the clay and sandstones of the Mesozoic. They are poor in nutrients and moderately to very waterlogged (pseudogley, stagnogley ) and usually have a moor or raw humus layer on plateaus , so that only forest use with coniferous or mixed forests makes sense. Gleye have developed in the stream valleys , and in broader brook or river valleys , for example in the Emmer area, brown gleye, which are used as grassland.

With the exception of the Hohe Warte area, Schieder-Schwalenberg is well to very well suited for the use of geothermal heat sources by means of a geothermal probe and heat recovery through heat pump heating (see the map on the right).

Expansion and use of the urban area

The city, classified as a "large rural community", extends over an area of ​​60.04 km². The municipal area has a maximum extension in east-west direction of approx. 10.7 km and in north-south direction of approx. 11.5 km.

history

Painting of the city of Schwalenberg by Carl Ferdinand Fabritius

Early and early times

Finds in the Emmertal indicate a settlement in the region in the Stone Age . In Lippisches Landesmuseum in Detmold today store tools from stones and antlers that were discovered in the 19th century Emmertal. The probably Bronze Age shell stone in the state forest of Schieder is located in the village. The Herlingsburg is located in the Glashütte district . It is a refuge from the pre-Roman Iron Age, from which the ramparts have been preserved to this day. During excavations in the Emmertal, fragments were discovered that can now be viewed in the Lippisches Landesmuseum in Detmold.

Middle Ages and early modern times

Schieder was first mentioned in a document in 822. In Alt-Schieder in the district of Schieder, the foundations of a church and some houses were discovered during excavations. Alt-Schieder consists of a bailey and a main castle, both of which were fortified during their use. The age of the outer bailey is uncertain; it could have been from the Carolingian period (822). The younger main castle, for the construction of which part of the outer rampart was demolished, dates from the Ottonian period. In the 13th century the complex was abandoned and the settlement moved further down into the valley to the settlement of Barkhof (today flooded by the Schiedersee). The idea that was held for a long time and is still occasionally expressed today that the outer bailey was the Saxon Volksburg “Skidroburg” (actually the Herlingsburg near Glashütte) is outdated.

Above the village of Brakelsiek, in the ridge of the Schwalenberg Forest, there is the Iron Age ring rampart known as the Rodenstatt . In the Siekholz district are the remains of the so-called Siekholzer Schanze , the origin of which has not yet been clarified with certainty. Early interpretations from the 19th century assumed a Roman camp. Presumably it is a more recent complex of the high Middle Ages. The character of the fortification is also not clear, it may have been a courtyard enclosure or a forestry.

Well in Schwalenberg

The seat of the older Counts of Schwalenberg was what is now called the Oldenburg (Old Castle) near Marienmünster. Since 1137 at the latest, this has been the political center of the county of Schwalenberg, which in its heyday comprised a large area. After a dispute with the Paderborn bishop in 1227, the counts were forced to leave their ancestral castle and settle elsewhere. This happened soon afterwards when they built a new castle on the site of today's Schwalenberg and had a settlement built below it. The Schwalenberg Church already existed in 1231, so it can be assumed that the construction of the settlement either proceeded quickly or that a settlement already existed before the relocation of the counts, to which the place name Schwalenberg was transferred. The dispute between the counts and the Paderborn bishop was also the reason that the previously contiguous county area was divided. The southern half fell to Adolf I, who called himself Count zu Waldeck ever since. After 1227 the town and castle Schwalenberg was founded by Count Volkwin IV as the "Oppidium Sualanberg". "Citizens" and "Council" and thus city rights are first mentioned in 1258 and 1260. The decline of the County of Schwalenberg began in 1195 after the area of ​​the new County of Pyrmont was ceded from the ancestral land. Further territorial losses and sales up to the first half of the 14th century and the extinction of the family v. Schwalenberg finally brought about the end of the county. Their remnants in the southeast of Lippe fell through sale to the noble lords of the Lippe and to the prince-bishopric of Paderborn (joint administration in a velvet rule ). The castle fell into disrepair and was not restored until the beginning of the 20th century by Marie Countess zur Lippe-Biesterfeld , who had taken over the castle from Haus Lippe for herself and her three daughters on a long lease . Since then it has been used in various ways, most recently as a hotel and restaurant.

Wöbbel Castle was built in 1584. It was owned by the Donop family until 1958. After the Renaissance building was destroyed in the Thirty Years War , she had a baroque palace built on the site .

On April 25, 1705, the castle in Schieder was inaugurated by Count Rudolf zur Lippe as the summer residence of the Lippe nobility. The construction work was commissioned by his father Casimir.

In 1872 Schieder was connected to the Hanover – Altenbeken railway line . The station was the first train station of the Principality of Lippe on this route, as Lügde was part of the Paderborn Monastery at that time.

World War II and Cold War

During the Second World War , the area between Steinheim and Schwalenberg was turned into a combat zone on April 5, 1945. The advancing US Army, including the 329th US Infantry Regiment, was to be stopped by German combat groups and parts of the 466th Division. Artillery strikes damaged or completely destroyed over 32 houses in Schwalenberg. After three German tanks had withdrawn in the direction of Falkenhagen, the city was captured by US troops on April 6th without a fight.

During the Cold War , the Dutch armed forces maintained a military base for the MIM-23 HAWK mobile anti-aircraft missiles from 1963 to 1994 on the Mörth west of Elbrinxen .

Religions

The majority of the population in Schieder-Schwalenberg is Protestant. This goes back to the Reformation introduced in 1538 by Bernhard VIII Graf zur Lippe . The Reformed Confession, which was introduced in the 17th century , is predominant . There are currently three Evangelical Reformed parishes: Schieder , Schwalenberg and Wöbbel .

There is also a Catholic parish for Schwalenberg with the local church of St. Joseph .

Most of the late repatriates who immigrated to Schieder-Schwalenberg belong to the Mennonite Brethren Congregation Schieder-Schwalenberg.

An indication of the current distribution of religions can be the denomination of the students in Schieder-Schwalenberg. According to this, 56.4% of the students in the school year 2006/2007 stated Protestant, 11.7% Catholic and 2.2% Islamic as religious affiliation. 21.3% said they belonged to another religion and 8.4% had no denomination.

Incorporations

As part of the North Rhine-Westphalian regional reform , the city of Schwalenberg and the six municipalities of Brakelsiek, Lothe, Ruensiek, Schieder, Siekholz and Wöbbel were merged to form the new city of Schieder-Schwalenberg on January 1, 1970. At the same time parts of the city of Blomberg were incorporated.

Painting town Schwalenberg

View of Schwalenberg

The long tradition of Schwalenberg as a town of painters and artists' colony goes back to the end of the 19th century, when the small town, away from the metropolitan modernity, became an insider tip for Impressionist landscape painting due to the beauty of the landscape, the quiet harmony and the extraordinary lighting conditions. Painters from big cities such as Düsseldorf and Berlin came to Schwalenberg to do open-air studies and then made Schwalenberg popular with the presentation of their works there in the big cities. In the 1920s, the Schwalenberg inns in particular were meeting places for artists, with the “Künstlerklause”, whose facade depicts motifs from the life of the Schwalenberg population, achieved fame.

In 2012, the exhibition In Dialog: The Schwalenberg Artists' Colony visits Kronberg at the Museum Kronberger Malerkolonie in Kronberg im Taunus .

After the heyday of the painter's town, a phase of stagnation followed, partly due to the Second World War. Few artists came to the city in these post-war years. The painter Robert Kämmerer-Rohrig was the only resident from 1949 to 1977 . Since 1978 the Landesverband Lippe - Kulturagentur - and the city of Schieder-Schwalenberg have been building on this tradition with regular art exhibitions and art events. By setting contemporary cultural accents, the old painter's town was filled with new artistic life. The highlights of the city's art scene are the 10–12 exhibitions per year that take place in the Städtische Galerie / Museum and the Robert Koepke Haus. The Robert Koepke Haus is reserved for the presentation of contemporary art by young, promising artists, while the Städtische Galerie / Museum, following on from the tradition of the painter city, offers art from various stylistic periods alongside the works of the old Lippe painters.

The Russian-German sculptor Jakob Wedel also has his studio in Schwalenberg .
