History of the parish
Madfeld was originally a landscape name. (Comparable to the neighboring Sintfeld ). There were three churches or chapels on the Madfeld: one consecrated to St. Margaret in Oestlingen, another in the desolate village of Walberinghusen and another in the desolate village of Hemminghusen.
The founding date of the parish is unknown. The first documented mentions exist for 1238 and 1250. It may go back to a chapel in the original parish of Haldinghausen or it was founded by the noble dynasty Böddeken . Either way, she belonged to the diocese of Paderborn. The Böddeken women's monastery or its governors, the noble lords of Büren , may have been the owners at first. At least in 1340 ownership and patronage passed from the noble lords of Büren to the lords of Padberg . The church received parish rights under the Lords of Padberg. The pastor of Oestlingen was responsible for baptisms, marriages and funerals for the two chapels on the Madfeld.
In a list of the parishes of the Paderborn diocese around 1450 (or earlier) the church in Oestlingen is missing. Presumably the place had fallen, or at least the parish had been abandoned. Antonius vom Alten Haus Padberg (Tönies von Padberg) is said to have moved the remaining inhabitants of the villages Glindene, Hemminghusen, Oestlingen, Lübberinghausen, Heddinghausen and Detbelinghausen together in 1482. Because of the existing parish church, they were settled in Oestlingen. At the same time, the Bredelar monastery made claims to the area. The parties came to an agreement in 1507: among other things, the Lords of Padberg received the church, and the Bredelar monastery received the church tithes. It had by this two Malter depart from Oestlingen grain in the diet of the pastor.
In addition to the disputes between the Lords of Padberg and the Bredelar Monastery, there were conflicts with the Lords of Westphalia , in which the Archdiocese of Cologne and the Diocese of Paderborn soon intervened. The parties agreed on a border line in 1562, lead washing was separated from Oestlingen, but remained part of the parish of Oestlingen. It was not until 1713 that the parish of St. Agatha was made .
When Oestlingen was resettled, only a ruin is likely to have survived from the former church. The date of the reconstruction and the entry of a pastor into the rectory is unknown, but took place before 1576. This year there was probably a diocesan change from Paderborn to Cologne.
With the advent of the Reformation, the Archdiocese of Cologne campaigned against Protestant pastors. Johannes Luerwald, the pastor of Thülen, had been deposed there. Adam Gottschalk von Padberg appointed him as patron saint in Oestlingen, but without Cologne's permission. Luerwald married his concubine in Oestlingen around 1612 and was subsequently removed from office and expelled from the country. But he moved back to Thülen with his concubine. As a result, the Protestant denomination could not prevail in Oestlingen.
From around 1615 both the parish and the church were run under the name Madfeld, and the name Madfeld for Oestlingen slowly established itself in other documents. From 1667 church records are available.
Since 1821 the parish has belonged again to the diocese of Paderborn. A list from March 13, 1835 shows that District Administrator Maximilian Droste zu Vischering-Padberg was still the church patron in Madfeld.
Since January 1st, 2003 the parish has been part of the Thülen parish association in the Hochsauerland-Ost dean's office.
Building history
The Madfeld Church was originally a three-aisled Romanesque basilica. Today's choir still bears witness to this construction phase. An interrogation of the vice curate Matthias Bodeker on April 25, 1615 shows that the church was in disrepair. This had not changed after the Thirty Years War . The aisles threatened to collapse.
In 1806 the old naves were dismantled and a new building was added to the existing choir by 1809. This new building has one nave and three bays . The sacristy was added in 1888. The 36 meter high church tower on the west side followed in 1891, between 1897 and 1900 the flat trellis ceiling in the nave was replaced by a vault with outer buttresses.
In autumn 1970 a cellar and the heating duct were excavated under the sacristy. Two double graves and one single grave from the time the nave was built were found. From 1994 the church roof and the church tower were renovated and completely covered with natural slate. Four years later, the interior was renovated and a new heating system installed.
Furnishing
There is a double Madonna in the church. It supposedly comes from the Bredelar monastery and was made by Heinrich Papen. The same goes for the pulpit.
The southern side altar was bought in 1856 from the parish church of Geseke and dates from the 18th century. It is dedicated to St. Anne . In 1859 the master carpenter Lindhoff from Geseke made the north side altar, a rosary altar, based on the pattern of this altar. The paintings on both altars are newer. The church also has a baptismal font from the 18th century, a celebration altar that was created by Theodor Sprenger in 1983, a war memorial corner, a figural Pietà and pews by Hermann Rüther, which were created around 1900.

High altar
The church of St. Margaretha Madfeld houses a baroque high altar in the choir. It was commissioned by Pastor Johannes Theodori in 1681 and consecrated on October 29, 1681. The altar comes from Heinrich Papen's workshop and is made of flour stone from Giershagen and alabaster from Adorf . In the middle it shows a relief with Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane . On the sides there are figures of St. Margaret (left) and St. Agatha (right), the patroness of Bleiwäsches. Above it is a rectangular relief in which Jesus falls under the cross. Next to it are smaller figures, Maria on the left and Veronica on the right with the handkerchief . Above the relief is another figure depicting the risen Christ with the victory flag.
