history

Church in Singlis

The history of Singlis can be traced back to the younger Stone Age .

The first documentary mention was in 775 in a list of goods of the Hersfeld Abbey under the name "Sungsule".

In the centuries that followed, the von Züschen noble family in Singlis was particularly wealthy. In 1265 the people of Züschen sold their goods in Singlis, including all accessories, including the mill and the dish in Singlis and Nordwich , to the Haina monastery . The monastery expanded its new property with around 55  acres to become one of its most important farms. In the course of the Reformation and the abolition of the monastery, its court in Singlis with his income was assigned to the University of Marburg by Landgrave Philipp the Magnanimous in 1540 . The farm was subordinated to a landgrave bailiff and was called "Universitäts-Vogtei Singlis". The farm was sold in the middle of the 19th century and later the land was sold to individual Singlis farmers.

The village belonged to the Borken office in 1578 and at that time had 52 households. After the population decline as a result of the Thirty Years War , the previous number of inhabitants was not reached again until the beginning of the 19th century. Today Singlis has about 900 inhabitants.

The current location of the church was probably the center of settlement in the early Middle Ages . The area is there, probably to protect against flooding, about 2 m higher than the surrounding area. A church is first mentioned in 1265 when the Lords of Züschen sold their noble farm to the Haina monastery. The current church was built between 1700 and 1710 as a simple hall structure and was thoroughly renovated several times, most recently in 1971. Since then, the bell tower has stood north of the church. Singlis has been the seat of a parish since the Reformation and has Lendorf as a branch . Two artistically designed windows in the church were created in 1906 by the Marburg glass painting workshop KJ Schultz Söhne. The church was consecrated again in 2015 after a renovation.

The Singliser Schwalmmühle was first mentioned in 1266. At that time it was located directly on the Schwalm, where the Gilsbach flows today. It was not until 1508 that a mill ditch was built and the mill moved to its current location. From this time until 1977 the mill was owned by the Wagner and Nöll families. The PreussenElektra as the new owner put the nursing grinding operation, but produced there by water power still electric current into the grid of the EAM is fed.

On December 31, 1971, the previously independent community was incorporated into the city of Borken with seven other places.
