history

The oldest evidence of settlement in the Nethetal, which is rich in water and fish, can be found in the Paleolithic. The village was first documented in 1015. In a biography of the Paderborn bishop Meinwerk it is said that a nun Cabuke owned her estate and a. bequeathed to the church in Siddessen at the request of the bishop. The village was closely associated with the Gehrden monastery from the very beginning . The titular town of Gehrden, only 1500 m away, was a religious meeting place for the residents of the "monastery village" of Siddessen long after the secularization of the monastery in Gehrden, because until the 1920s the village had no church but only a small chapel. So the Siddesser often had to make the way to the Romanesque pillar basilica in Gehrden. In 1803, Siddessen became Prussian with the dissolution of the Principality of Paderborn . This period was only interrupted by the interlude of the French dependent Kingdom of Westphalia .

In 1807 Siddessen became part of the canton of Gehrden in the Kingdom of Westphalia founded by Napoleon . With the establishment of the Warburg district in 1816, Siddessen became part of the Gehrden office . After its union with the Dringenberg Office , Siddessen became a municipality in the Dringenberg-Gehrden Office .

As part of the Sauerland-Paderborn law, the Dringenberg-Gehrden office and the Warburg district were dissolved on January 1, 1975 , and Siddessen was incorporated into the city of Brakel alongside the city of Gehrden and the Hegge villages of Frohnhausen , Auenhausen and Hampenhausen .

In the 1990s the village won the gold medal in the state competition “Our village should be more beautiful”.
