Schlangen is a municipality in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany and belongs to the Lippe district . The municipality is located in the Senne landscape and in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge nature park . The Senne military training area covers large parts of the municipality. The residents of the community are known as "Schlänger".
geography
Geographical location
The community is located in the northeast of North Rhine-Westphalia around 16 kilometers south of Detmold on the edge of the Senne and extends on the southern slope of the Teutoburg Forest up to the heights of the mountain range . The municipality is the northeastern branch of the Hellwegbörde and thus part of the Westphalian Bay . In addition to Augustdorf , Schlangen is one of two communities in the Lippe district to the south of the Teutoburg Forest. Large parts of the area are heather and sand.
The districts of Schlangen and Oesterholz-Haustenbeck are connected by the 2.5 km long former boulevard Fürstenallee . It is the only four-row avenue in Lippe and is particularly worth seeing with its centuries-old trees. It continues in the direction of the Gauseköte pass to Detmold. The settlement areas of Schlangen and Bad Lippspringe to the south merge with one another almost seamlessly. The Senne military training area takes up a large part of the municipality .
Noteworthy are the waters in the municipality as Strothe called Thune , the Haustenbach , the Red Bach and Schlänger Bach . All waters of the community flow over the Lippe to the Rhine .
The highest point of the municipality is the summit of 433 m above sea level. NN lying hollow stone , the lowest point is on the site of the military training area at about 138 m above sea level. NN .

geology
The foreland to the east of the Westphalian Bay to the west of the Egge Mountains in the municipal area consists of marl and limestone from the Upper Cretaceous . This approximately 550 meters thick underground was lifted out in the course of the earth's history and formed a slight incline to the west. As a result of karstification in the carbonate rocks, sinkholes and caves also formed .
Rocks from the Triassic , and more rarely from the Jurassic and ancient times, can be found in the deep bedrock. In the Senne wide areas are carried out of the ice age derived gravels , sands , Till and loess covered.
The partially karstified limestones of the Upper Cretaceous are particularly important for the drinking water supply in the municipality. Drinking water is also obtained from the sands and gravels of the Senne.
The sands and gravels from the Ice Age are mined for use as construction sand, concrete gravel and sometimes molding sand.
The sands of the Senne in the west of the municipality are very nutrient-poor and permeable. Powerful podsols have developed on them . Often has by the displacement and cementing of humus and iron in the lower part of the bottom Orterde formed. Ash floors created by cultivation are less common . Gleye , which only occur in narrow banks along the streams, are even rarer . In the eastern part of the municipality, the carbonate rocks of the Egge Mountains are dominated by deep parabrown soils and brown soils , which developed from the loess deposited during the Ice Age. Where no loess drifts in or where it was later eroded , shallow, stony rendzines of clayey loam formed .
The land use is primarily dependent on the terrain profile. In flat locations, the use of green and arable land predominates, in the steeper, but also in remote locations, forestry with a high proportion of hardwood is practiced.
To a large extent, snakes are not suitable, or only to a limited extent, for the use of geothermal heat sources by means of geothermal probes and heat recovery through heat pump heating . This is particularly the case in the main settlement areas. In contrast to this, the mountain ranges in particular can be used (see the adjacent map).
Expansion and use of the municipal area
The community, classified as a "large rural community", extends over an area of 75.98 km². The municipal area has a maximum extension in east-west direction of about 12 km and in north-south direction of about 9.5 km. Due to the fact that it is part of the Teutoburg Forest, Schlangen has twice as much forest as the average for the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The comparatively high proportion of land for other uses results from the high proportion of the Senne in the municipality.

Community structure
Serpentine consists of the three districts Schlangen, Kohlstädt and Oesterholz-Haustenbeck. The former village of Haustenbeck had to be almost completely cleared from 1937 to make way for the Senne military training area. Today it actually no longer exists and the center of the entire district of Oesterholz-Haustenbeck is in Oesterholz.

climate
Climatic data for snakes are not available, so the data from the municipality of Bad Lippspringe, which is only about four kilometers to the south and only slightly lower down, is used.
Serpent belongs to the moderate climatic zone of Central Europe and lies in the area of the subatlantic maritime climate . The winters are mostly mild under the influence of the Atlantic and the summers are moderately warm. The annual mean temperature is around 8.5–9 ° C.
Due to the location in the sub-Atlantic maritime climate, a humid climate prevails all year round with relatively evenly distributed rainfall. In total, at the Bad Lippspringe measuring station south of Schlangen, a long-term average of 867 mm of precipitation falls annually.

history
Early history and first mention
Numerous finds show that the area around Schlangen was inhabited in the Neolithic . Groups of burial mounds from Plaggen and sod near the Lippe border in the straw valley date from the Bronze Age . Excavations of foundations from the 9th century under the Kilian patronage of the current Reformed Church prove that snakes already existed at this time. The old Romanesque church stood at the crossroads of old highways. Serpentine, together with its districts Kohlstädt and Oesterholz-Haustenbeck, is mentioned for the first time in the biography of Bishop Meinwerk of Paderborn . At that time, the nun Oda zu Geseke handed over her genetic material in the villages of Lanchel (Schlangen) , Astanholte (Oesterholz) and Colstidi (Kohlstädt) to the church in Paderborn.
In the late Middle Ages, which was marked by feuds, ownership of the area around snakes was opaque. The local farmers were liable to pay taxes both to the Bishop of Paderborn and to the cathedral chapter . The monasteries Corvey , Busdorf, Gokirchen , Neuenheerse and Hardehausen also appear in the old documents from time to time. In addition, taxes had to be paid to secular lords, such as the Counts of Schwalenberg , the noble lords of the Lippe and others.
reformation
Serpentine was not only on important highways, but was also a border town between the County of Lippe and the Principality of Paderborn . At the old meeting place on the border near Lippspringe , envoys from Count zur Lippe and the Bishop of Paderborn met repeatedly to negotiate border disputes (see also Lippspring's original comparison ). In the Treaty of Schlangen in 1558, Count Bernhard VIII was enfeoffed with the County of Pyrmont-Spiegelberg by the Bishop of Paderborn. In return, however, the Catholic bishop had to be granted important spiritual rights in Protestant Lippe. “In this time filled with religious fanaticism, when everyone had to believe what their sovereign ordered, tolerance was exercised in our homeland against the Catholic inhabitants. None of the Old Believers has been persecuted or oppressed because of their faith in accordance with the provisions of the treaty. The monasteries and spiritual foundations continued to exist until the last inmates died. If the obligation had also been binding for Paderborn, then, verily, the contract would have been a model. ” During the Counter-Reformation in Paderborn at the beginning of the 17th century, many supporters of the Protestant faith sought refuge in snakes in the church. The Jesuits sent by the bishop complained about the barren field and the accursed snake swamp .
Serpent was persecuted by witches from 1586 to 1615. Seven women and two men got into witch trials . At least four people were executed, according to Mette Deppe , and two other cases are likely to be executed. In 1615 two men were executed for witchcraft in Kohlstädt. On October 1st, 2015 the council of the community of Schlangen decided to rehabilitate the victims of the witch trials.
Times of war
Due to the exposed location of Schlangen on a busy highway, the population suffered heavy losses in the Thirty Years War (1618–1648). In 1622 Christian von Braunschweig occupied Schlangen and Lippspringe. In 1634 seven houses in the village were cremated by looting soldiers. In 1646 the places were visited by Swedish and Weimar troops under General Königsmarck . After that, Schlangen and Kohlstädt became deserted for a while . The surviving farmers had fled into the woods with the few remaining cattle. If people hadn't fallen victim to the war, they 'd wiped out the black leaves , the plague and typhus .
After the end of the war in 1648, the abandoned farms and Kötterstätten were reluctantly settled, so that four years later there were around 30 vacant houses in queues. In the Seven Years' War (1756–1763), too , Schlangen was repeatedly a marching area for one or the other military side. Thousands of soldiers camped several times on the heath near Dedinghausen between Schlangen and Lippspringe. They not only wanted to be supplied with food, but also asked for trucking services and help with digging work .
Abolition of Serfdom and the Shepherd War
In 1808 Princess Pauline zur Lippe abolished the serfdom of the rural population. By diligence and thrift, the landowners could now achieve a certain level of prosperity in queues. In the thirties and forties of the 19th century they were able to acquire larger arable land from the neighboring Lippspringers. With the land consolidation of the Lippspringer Feldmark (1846-1852), the Schlangen border was shifted significantly towards Lippspringe. However, this new freedom did not apply to all residents, because the three-class suffrage was not abolished in Lippe until 1918. The hud area, which is common to all the owners of the site , the so-called meanness , was enough for around 700 sheep. However, there were 1,200 sheep in queues because sheep keeping was a lucrative business for wealthy farmers. This meant that there was no more pasture land for other cattle. For smallholders, however, it was more important to feed one or two cows than to keep sheep. In the fall of 1818, a large majority of all those interested in the Hudeans met and decided to abolish all sheep. The sheep owners refused and the Horn office instructed to leave it with the old regulation until the final decision. The dispute escalated and Princess Pauline felt compelled to march Lieutenant Krücke and 40 soldiers, each with five rounds of live ammunition, after snakes and take quarters there. However, this meant that the thugs not only had to provide food for the soldiers, but also had to pay lodging fees and a fine. This episode went down in Schlangen history as the Shepherd War .
Migrant workers and conflagrations
Many residents of Schlangen were affected by the decline of home weaving around 1850 . Even later, the Lippe economy could not accommodate the growing population and about a third of the male population had to refuse a job. Many men were forced to look for work outside of Lippe. They became migrant bricklayers and later bricklayers in order to earn a living for their families in the big cities and in the Ruhr area. After the migrant workers returned in late autumn, the Schlänger Market was celebrated together. For centuries agriculture shaped public life in snakes. In the course of time, craft professions were also added, such as blacksmith, wheelwright, carpenter, miller, tailor, shoemaker, coal maker and glassblower.
On August 18, 1904, Schlangen was struck by a devastating fire that completely destroyed 80 houses and damaged 11. Those injured by the fire experienced a great willingness to help not only from Lippe. Fire disasters had already occurred repeatedly in previous years, for example in 1678 and 1741. As there was no water pipe yet, the water had to be brought in with buckets and other containers in handcarts and wheelbarrows from more than a kilometer away. It was not until 1927 that a water pipeline network was installed and in 1971/1972 a deep borehole was carried out with which the groundwater of the Senne was tapped.
On March 31, 1912, opened PESAG the tram line Bad Lippspringe - snakes - Kohlstädt - Horn, who continued to Detmold from the 1920s. On March 17, 1953, the last tram ran between Horn and Schlangen, and in 1959 the line between Schlangen and Paderborn Hbf was closed.
Senne military training area
In 1892, today's Senne military training area was created as a cavalry training area for the Paderborn and Neuhaus garrisons west of Schlangen and in 1938 it was enlarged to around 42 km². As a result, the old village of Haustenbeck had to be given up in 1939 . From 1937 to 1939 the residents of Haustenbeck were resettled. The majority found a new home in the Moorlage settlement in Horn-Bad Meinberg . Today the military training area is 116 km² and is operated by the British Armed Forces in Germany in Paderborn in accordance with the NATO troop statute.
The end of the war, the post-war period and local reorganization
On April 4, 1945, the American units reached Bad Lippspringe via Reichsstrasse 1 and were supposed to cross the Teutoburg Forest near Horn . They took Bad Lippspringe and shortly afterwards, snakes without a fight. The 83rd US Infantry Division then split. One unit pushed over the Gauseköte through the Teutoburg Forest, a second crossed the mountain range on Reichsstraße 1 in the direction of Horn , while a third crossed the mountains at Feldrom and Leopoldstal . On the evening of April 4, 1945, the American units had conquered the entire extent of the Teutoburg Forest. The Second World War ended for the residents of Schlangen . After a few days, the Americans withdrew and the British took command and occupied the Sennelager bei Schlangen.
In 1970 the municipal reorganization of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia came into force and Schlangen, Kohlstädt and Oesterholz-Haustenbeck were merged to form a new community Schlangen . But just four years later, during the reorganization of the area in the Hochstift Paderborn, Schlangen was to be assigned to the city of Lippspringe and thus lose its affiliation with Lippe. The residents of Schlangen successfully defended themselves against this, because the community remained independent and in the Lippe district.
Religions
Of the 9,453 inhabitants at the turn of the year 2019, 44% (a total of 4,160 members) belonged to the Evangelical Reformed parish. A year earlier it was 4,244. The Evangelical Reformed parish in Schlangen comprises the entire parish area, is divided into the two parishes east and west and belongs to the Blomberg class of the regional church.
A minority of the population is Catholic . The Catholic parish of Sankt Marien Schlangen is part of the Bad Lippspringe-Schlangen pastoral association in the Paderborn deanery of the Archdiocese of Paderborn .
There are also several free Christian communities in queues. For example, an Adventist church, a gospel Christian church and Jehovah's Witnesses are represented with their own premises.
graveyards
There is a Christian cemetery in each of Schlangen, Oesterholz, Haustenbeck (desert) and Kohlstädt. There is also a Jewish cemetery and a grove of honor for those who died in the two world wars.

badges and flags
The municipality of Schlangen was granted the right to use a coat of arms and a flag in a certificate from the District President in Detmold dated July 16, 1970.
The official description of the coat of arms according to § 2 of the main statute reads:
- "In silver (white) an S-shaped curved blue snake, which above a stalked golden (yellow) acorn with two green oak leaves, below a five-petalled rose, the Lippische Rose, with golden lugs and sepals entwines."
- meaning
The snake gives a "talking" and the acorn with oak leaves a historical interpretation of the place name "Lanchel" as Langeloh, long wood or long valley (depression). The Lippe rose indicates that it belongs to the former Land of Lippe.
- Description of the flag
- "The coat of arms of the community is shown on a track divided lengthways by blue and white (1 blue: 1 white: 2 blue: 1 white: 1 blue)."
Town twinning
In 1995, the German-Finnish Society (DFG) conducted a survey among all 450 cities and municipalities in Finland as to whether they were interested in a partnership with a German city or municipality. 21 cities and municipalities showed increased interest. Schlänger citizens were already in contact with the DFG, after all, Finnish artists had already appeared in queues several times.
The DFG proposed a partnership with a Finnish municipality to the community, which was positively received. Viitasaari in central Finland was chosen as a twin town, because the population and the economic structure were similar with mainly wood processing companies. On April 6, 1998, the Viitasaari City Council decided on the partnership, and on October 29 of that year, the local council drew snakes. In March 1999, the Finnish twin town was visited where the partnership documents were also signed. The return visit with the signing of a further certificate followed in August of that year. Since then, there have been irregular visits by associations and citizens of the associated municipalities.
In 2000 the couple Franz and Maria von Prondzinski moved from Szymbark (Schönberg), one of 18 districts of the Polish town of Stężyca (Stendsitz) in Kashubia , to Kohlstädt. Through her participation in the Kohlstädter Spielmannszug a contact with the folklore group from Szymbark arose. This was followed by visits and return visits, which established a friendly exchange. The council representatives quickly spoke out in favor of a town twinning, as the two places have similarities in area and population and are less than 1000 kilometers apart. The mayors Ulrich Knorr and Tomasz Brzoskowski signed the partnership agreement on July 9, 2011 in Schlangen. On October 8, 2011, both sides signed in Stężyca.
Culture and sights
theatre
Schlangen does not have its own theater. The closest theaters are the Landestheater Detmold , the Westphalian Kammerspiele in Paderborn and the Theater Bielefeld .
Museums
The snakes village museum has been in the community center since 1993 . The former Fischer house was built in 1889 from quarry stone. Over 5,000 exhibits, which document the living conditions and working methods of Schlänger's ancestors, can be viewed. The exhibits are related to the topics of agriculture, house slaughter, handicraft and textile production. But furnishings for the living room, kitchen and bedroom can also be seen.
The Mötz forge was founded in 1814. It was in operation until 1975 and was only converted into a museum in 2005. The original furnishings and fittings are still preserved and can be viewed.
The Heimathaus Oesterholz-Haustenbeck in the district of the same name is set up in an approximately 210-year-old courtyard. The 1150-year history of the village of Haustenbeck, which was dissolved in 1939 (today a military training area), is told in the Haustenbecker room.
The Red Cross History Collection in Westfalen-Lippe is also open to the public in Schlangen .
music
The musical offer in the community includes three choirs and choir groups, two musicians' trains and a music train from the volunteer fire brigade. There is also an accordion orchestra and a trombone choir. To train musicians, there is the Schlangen music school, which was privatized in 2005.
Buildings
The Evangelical Church of Snakes goes back to the 9th or 10th century. A church building in Romanesque style was erected around 1200 on the foundations of an older church from this period found during excavations in the nave in 1969 . The south nave of the church was added in 1590, according to an inscription. After the nave was demolished and rebuilt in 1878, the church was given its present-day appearance by the builder Ferdinand Ludwig August Merckel . In 1970, under old layers of paint in the church tower, a mural of Christopher from the 13th century was found, the oldest representation of Christopher in all of Westphalia.
The Kohlstädt castle ruins were built around 1050 in the Romanesque style, probably by the Counts of Schwalenberg , as a manor's castle. It is believed that it was used to control the pass road along the Strothe an der Egge. The castle was abandoned at the end of the 14th century and has since fallen into disrepair. Today the remains of the 12 m high defense tower and the foundations of an outbuilding are still preserved from the ruins.
At the end of the 16th century, Count Simon VI. build the hunting lodge Oesterholz . The residence of the castle has been preserved. The two-storey half-timbered building has been used as a retirement home since 1929. In the middle of the 17th century the castle was enlarged by Hermann Adolf . These new buildings were demolished as early as 1770. The remains of these buildings were used to build the “Zur Rose” spa in Bad Meinberg .
At the beginning of the 18th century, the chief hunter Hermann Konrad Kruse was granted the jug privilege, whereupon he opened the Kreuzkrug in the forester's house. The outbuildings of the pub served the forest workers as quarters. In 1782 the indebted Kruse family had to sell the building to the Lippe Rentkammer. In the 19th century, the forest and pub were separated and the Kreuzkrug was only used as a forester's house. The current building was rebuilt in 1812 as an eaves house after the jug was moved.
There is a farmhouse in Mühlenstrasse, which was probably built at the beginning of the 19th century. The framework is provided with plaster infills and covered by a gable roof with pans. The commercial gable, whose boarded gable triangle protrudes on bald heads, is on the north side. The gate is in four parts, the deele high and has a large cross-section. The original roof structure has collar beams. In the south there was an extension of about three meters. Since 1998 the building has been used as a café and restaurant as well as an apartment.
The Kohlstädt watermill is the only originally preserved half-timbered house in the Schlänger district. The main building is single-storey and consists of half-timbered buildings with a basement. The basement is also made of half-timbered construction on the water side. The water wheel on the south-eastern gable is operated with upper and lower water, which flows through a channel to the wheel.
In the area of Haustenbeck, about 500 meters northeast of the former town center, is the Haustenbeck tower. This tower was only built in 1941 as an observation tower for the exercising military. Today the tower is also used for bird protection and provides nesting sites for various birds of prey. It is based on the steeple of St. Kilian's Church in Büren - Brenken .
The folkish lay researcher Wilhelm Teudt , whose main interest was the area south of Detmold, taught that there was a Germanic cult castle or school of scholars at the site of Hof Gierke in Oesterholz . The site of the Hethi monastery can also be found there. Teudt continued to claim that the Hünenkirche in Kohlstädt was of Germanic origin. Possibly it is the tower of the seer Veleda named by Tacitus . Teudt's teachings are rejected by specialist science.

The Fürstenallee, a section of the state road 937, is considered the most beautiful oak avenue in the Lippe region. It is designated both as a natural monument and as a park. As a special feature, it should be noted that the inner row of trees belongs to the Landesbetrieb Straßenbau NRW , while the outer row of trees is owned by the Landesverband Lippe.
The hollow stone cave , designated as a natural monument and nature reserve, is an approx. 185 meter long, natural cleft cave. The entrance area is provided with a 4 m high and 0.5 to 1.5 m wide grille and has a sloping, rubble-covered floor. A narrow point after 30 meters widens the cave into two chambers, which contain stalactite formations in the rear and hard-to-reach parts . With a few exceptions, it is not open to the public, as it is a natural monument and refuge for bat species.
A total of eight nature reserves are designated in the municipality of Schlangen, all of which are located in the municipality or in which Schlangen is involved. In addition to the hollow stone cave already mentioned, these are the Strohte-Niederung (approx. 95.8 ha ), the Schlänger Moor (approx. 8.4 ha), the Emkental (approx. 20.7 ha), the Senne north of Oesterholz (approx. 18 ha), the Oesterholzer Bruch with Schwedenschanze (approx. 38.8 hectares), the Schwedenschanze itself (approx. 0.8 hectares) and the eastern Teutoburg Forest (around 2323 hectares).
In Oesterholz, an archaeological educational trail was set up in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park in 1982 , a short circular route across a Bronze Age burial ground . It shows ten burial mounds, some of which are barely visible. Information boards are set up at the recognizable grave sites and at two replicated barrows that give an insight into Bronze Age burials.
