history

origin of the name

The first mention of Störmedes can be found around 826 in the so-called "Traditiones Corbeienses", the list of donations from the Corvey monastery . It is mentioned here that a certain Horid in Sturmidi transferred a hoof ("mansum", cf. also Manse ) and two families to the Corvey monastery.

The name Störmede was derived from Sturmidi or Sturmithi, or Sturmethe. The most common explanation of this place name or this landscape designation goes back to the Old Low German words "stur = long stretched" and "matha, mada = meadow", ie "long meadow". Another explanation comes from Sturmidi. Accordingly, the name should go back to the Old High German word storm, which means fight and unrest, and would therefore indicate a Germanic name.

Noble families in Störmede

The oldest noble family of Störmede are the lords of Störmede (Sturmethi). When in 1167 Rabodo von Störmede left no male heirs, his son-in-law Albert zur Lippe took over the name of Störmede in 1209 after the marriage to Rabodo's daughter Gertrud. Since then, the Lords of Störmede have had the Lippe Rose in their coat of arms. Kunigunde, the only daughter of Albert II von Störmede , married Friedrich von Hörde in 1291 (wagon wheel in the coat of arms). Around 1539 Theodor von Bocholtz married Elisabeth von Hörde, who had inherited part of the von Hördeschen possessions in Störmede. At around the same time, the von Korff family came into possession of Störmede through marriage to a Fraulein von Hörde.

The noble houses of Hörde, Bocholtz and Korff lived together in the castle in Störmede , which had three departments. The goods were divided according to their claims.

The estate was then passed on to Count Wilhelm von Bocholtz-Meschede , who sold it to the landowner Modersohn in 1880. In 1885 the estate was finally sold to Baron Fritz von Ketteler -Harkotten and Schwarzenraben. The genealogist and local researcher Karl-Josef von Ketteler lived there until his death . In the grave of the Barons von Ketteler found, with his wife Paula, geb. Freiin von Ketteler, also Heinrich von Droste zu Hülshoff his final resting place. The town of Geseke has owned the estate since the 1970s.

Timetable

The name "Sturmithi" was first mentioned around 826 in the list of donations from Corvey Monastery. In 1277 Albert III was defeated. the bishop of Paderborn, whereupon the fortified castle was destroyed. The noble estates were divided around 1340. Temme von Hörde received the Störmeder possessions south of the Lippe, Bernhard von Hörde received the possessions north of the Lippe. The Lords of Hörde approved the establishment of the Nazareth Monastery in 1483 .

Area of ​​the former Nazareth monastery

In 1521 the foundation stone was laid to partially rebuild the parish church. In the Salentin Recess in 1577, all the lords of Hörde renounced their sovereign rights. Temme and Friederich Bernhard von Hörde (Old House) stood in the Truchsessischen turmoil from 1583–1584 on the side of the Cologne Elector Gebhard Truchsess zu Waldburg , who tried to convert the Archbishopric of Cologne into a Protestant principality. The pastor of Störmede and the rector of Nazareth were expelled and Calvinist worship was introduced. After the victory of Elector Ernst von Bayern , the old religious order was restored. In 1609 numerous people fell victim to the plague in Störmede. Duke Christian von Braunschweig took his headquarters in the Störmede house during the siege of Geseke in 1622. In 1636 the plague raged again in Störmede. The oldest evidence of a rifle brotherhood in Störmede dates from 1669. In 1670, in fulfillment of a vow, the praise chapel dedicated to the Blessed Mother was built.

In 1724 the newly built monastery church in Nazareth was benedited. Almost all of Störmede was destroyed by two fires in 1729. In 1742 the decision was made to rebuild a school, to set up the former church granary as a school house and to employ a teacher. After the abolition of the Electorate of Cologne in 1802 , Störmede and the Duchy of Westphalia were also subordinate to the Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt . The monastery of Nazareth was abolished in 1804 by the order of the Count of Hessen-Darmstadt.

Praise chapel in Störmede

220 soldiers of the troops returning from France from the Wars of Liberation (1813–1815) were housed in the school from 1815–1816. In 1816 Störmede became Prussian . With the introduction of the mayor's registration in 1821, Störmede came to the mayor's office in Geseke. 22 houses, including the rectory and the sexton's house, were destroyed in a fire in 1822. In 1827 the old school building in the churchyard was given up and the school moved to the converted church of the Nazareth monastery. At the same time, a new girls' class was set up and a new teacher was hired. Due to a downpour over Büren and Langenstrasse , the Störmeder brook flooded on June 24, 1824, even though it hadn't rained in Störmede. The flood flooded numerous houses and spoiled the meadows up to the Lippe. The year 1830 brought an unusually snowy winter. On January 5th a snow depth of almost 90 cm was measured. In 1837 the Prussian town order was introduced in Geseke, whereby Störmede and the other places of the former Geseke mayor's district were co-administered by the Gesek mayor. The Störmede office with its headquarters in Störmede was established in 1843. In 1889 the savings and loan association was founded.

In the First World War , Störmede had to mourn 25 casualties. In 1920 the community was connected to the electricity network. A year later a sister house was built in Störmede. The sisters took on care and nursing duties. The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1925. South of Störmede, a new airfield of 90 hectares was created in 1935, which was expanded during the war and provided with a siding to the Geseke – Büren railway line . In the same year, the administration of Störmede was relocated to Ehringhausen and a kindergarten was set up in the nursing home. In March 1945 the airfield was attacked. About 1,800 bombs fell and the village was never hit. On Easter Day 1945, the Americans took Störmede. The war claimed 61 casualties and 23 missing. Immediately after the end of the war, camps for Soviet prisoners of war were set up in the school and the rifle hall. More than 500 displaced persons had to be accommodated in May 1946.

In 1951 the Protestant parish built a church and a rectory. The new sewage treatment plant was put into operation in 1959. Public waste collection was introduced in the Störmede office in 1966. After the disbandment of the Störmede secondary school in 1972, the students were distributed to the secondary schools in Geseke. In the course of the municipal reorganization, Störmede was assigned to the city of Geseke on January 1, 1975 and was now in the newly formed district of Soest. The Störmede office was dissolved. In 1985 Störmede was connected to the water supply from the Aabach dam . From 1989 to 1994 the Störmeder Helmut Hohmann ( SPD ) was mayor of the city of Geseke. The numerous village beautification measures were inaugurated in September 2004 with a large-scale “Village Experience Day”. In July 2005, Störmede took first place in the competition "Our village should be more beautiful - our village has a future" at district level. In December 2007, the location was chosen as the 2007 NRW Christmas Village in the Christmas competition of the WDR broadcast at Home and On the Road .

coat of arms

The Störmeder coat of arms is divided into four and shows two red, five-spoke wagon wheels and two red, five-petalled roses. The division is made by the black Electoral Cologne cross. The rose goes back to the noble lords of Störmede, who had their headquarters in Störmede until around 1233. In her family coat of arms there is a red, five-petalled rose, as in the coat of arms of the Lords of Lippe, which indicates a close relationship. After Albert von Störmede bequeathed his fiefdom to his son-in-law Friedrich von Hörde, the wagon wheel from the von Hörde family coat of arms was added to the local coat of arms and the Lippische Rose was adopted.

Social and cultural life

The cultural ring, which, as an umbrella organization, coordinates the activities of the 25 member associations, is in charge of the club life in Störmede. The culture ring is also responsible for village beautification measures as part of the village competition "Our village should be more beautiful - our village has a future" . In July 2005, Störmede won at the district level for the first time and took part in the state competition in summer 2006. Many clubs have set up a club house on their own, in which further events for the population take place. In September 2004 the numerous village renewal measures of the last few years were celebrated with a “Village Experience Day”. For some years now, expert guided tours in small groups (approx. 12–15 people) through the historic village center have been offered. Since 2005, a special guided tour followed by a get-together has been offered for new residents on May 1st.

Störmede has a small indoor swimming pool, a sports field, a kindergarten and a primary school as well as a small Catholic library on the upper floor of the former rectory. This is also visited by the children from the surrounding villages. An “open bookshelf” is set up in front of the Volksbank.
