The Senner Hellweg is a street in Bielefeld that leads from the Buschkamp district in the Senne district to the city limits of Oerlinghausen . The street continues from there as Hellweg with interruptions to Stukenbrock -Senne. Historically, it is a medieval connection between Bielefeld and Paderborn . The trade route ran along the south-eastern edge of the Teutoburg Forest for around 30 kilometers through the then almost deserted Senne . The name Hellweg is interpreted, among other things, as a “light, broad path”. There is a counterpart north of the Teutoburg Forest, the Lipper Hellweg . The Senner Hellweg is a section of the Westphalian Hellweg , the most famous Hellweg in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The Senner Hellweg is now a partially populated residential street; however, longer sections lead through forests and fields and are not fully developed. In Sennestadt it crosses the federal highway 2 with a pedestrian bridge and leads through the Senne military training area near Augustdorf .
History of the historical trade route
In the Middle Ages, the counts of Lippe tried to define their national borders more precisely and to mark them with boundary stones. They intended to set up customs stations at the border crossings of the trade routes into the Lippe region, because every merchant car brought them tax money. In 1416 the Counts Bernhard and Simon zur Lippe signed a contract with Count Nikolaus and Otto von Tecklenburg, according to which the Counts of Lippe were allowed to raise customs on the border near Oerlinghausen. The customs station with barrier was on the banks of the fortified Dalbke in today Oerlinghauser district Lipper series and was Ravensberger inch board called. In the course of time, so-called jugs were created at the customs offices , offering accommodation and food for the travelers. Most of the traders on Hellweg were on two-wheeled carts and the majority of them were guests of the jugs. The Finkenkrug and the Kreuzkrug in Oesterholz , the Poppenkrug in Haustenbeck , the Dörenkrug in Augustdorf and the Bartholdkrug in Lipperzeile were among the most famous mugs on Senner Hellweg . At the Bartholdkrug near the Lippe border was the customs post, where strict customs controls temporarily halted the movement of goods. The owner Cord Barthold Grote had built a handsome house there in 1713 and received the right to be a jug in 1721 .
After the fall of Napoleon I in 1815, the individual German states set up customs borders so that all goods exported from Lippe to Prussia had to be cleared. A lively smuggling began at the border, which gave the lonely jugs in the Senne a bad reputation, including the Barthold jug in particular. In addition to the products from Lippe, such as linen, so-called colonial goods were smuggled into the country from Bremen via the Lippe Weser port of Erder . These were unloaded at the Bartholdkrug, hidden and secretly brought across the Prussian border at night. In 1842 Lippe finally joined the German Customs Union and smuggling stopped.
