history

The area of ​​today's Stieghorst district has been part of the Ravensberg County since the Middle Ages . It was administered by the Bailiwick in Heepen, which at the time of its greatest expansion reached south into the Senne.

East of Bielefeld on the northern edge of the Teutoburg Forest was the Stieghorst peasantry in the form of a scattered settlement . Like the other parts of the County of Ravensberg, Stieghorst fell to the County of Berg in 1346 (Jülich-Berg from 1423). With this it came in 1609 provisionally and finally in 1666 as a result of the Thirty Years' War to Brandenburg-Prussia .

When in 1807 Prussia had to cede all areas on the left Elbe , Stieghorst came briefly to the Kingdom of Westphalia , where it belonged to the Bielefeld district within the Weser department , but fell back to Prussia after the defeat of Napoleon I in 1813.

Within the province of Westphalia , Stieghorst was now part of the Minden administrative district and the Bielefeld district formed in 1816 . Since the Bielefeld district was divided into offices in 1843, the municipalities of Sieker, Stieghorst, Ubbedissen, Hillegossen and Lämershagen-Gräfinghagen formed the south of the Heepen office .

With the increasing industrialization of the Ravensberger Land , Stieghorst developed into a suburb of the city of Bielefeld. The population increased from 1106 in 1843 to 2561 in 1925.

On October 1, 1930, most of the Stieghorst community was incorporated into Bielefeld. Some parts of the territory of the Teutoburg Forest (26 ha) fell to the then municipality Senne I . In the 1930s, barracks were built in Stieghorst on Detmolder Strasse, and have been used by the British Rhine Army since the Second World War .

On January 1, 1973, the Bielefeld Act of October 24, 1972 merged the city of Bielefeld with the cities and municipalities of the Bielefeld district to form the new independent city of Bielefeld. The Heepen office was dissolved and the city of Bielefeld became the legal successor.

In the enlarged city of Bielefeld, the Stieghorst district was formed, consisting of

• the part of the old town of Bielefeld south-east of the Brands Busch – Otto-Brenner-Straße – Oldentruper Straße line
• of the Hillegossen community
• of the Ubbedissen community
• the part of the municipality Lämershagen-Gräfinghagen north of the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest.

The Stieghorst district does not have its own district office. The district administrative tasks are performed by the Bielefeld city administration. A branch of the Bielefeld Citizens' Registration Office is located in the Hillegossen district at Detmolder Straße 617.

The majority of the population of the borough is Evangelical Lutheran . For these there is the Evangelical Gustav-Adolf-Parish and the Evangelical-Lutheran parish in Stieghorst in the district of Stieghorst, whereby the two parishes merged in 2007 to form the Evangelical parish of Stieghorst. The Evangelical Lutheran parish of Hillegossen also merged with the Stieghorst parish, which is now called the Protestant parish of Stieghorst-Hillegossen . In Ubbedissen is the Protestant parish Ubbedissen and in Sieker the Evangelical Luther parish , all of which belong to the Bielefeld parish of the Evangelical Church of Westphalia .

For the Catholics, there is the Catholic parish of St. Bonifatius in the Bielefeld-Lippe deanery of the Archdiocese of Paderborn and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and Community Center. This is located in a former "refugee and expellee church" that was built in the early 1960s.

The New Apostolic Church maintains a congregation in Sieker. There are also several free churches such as the Mennonites .

Since the local elections on May 25, 2014 , the Stieghorst district council has been composed as follows:

• CDU 7 seats
• SPD 6 seats
• Green 2 seats
• BfB (Citizens' Association for Bielefeld) 1 seat

Culture and sights

The Eiserner Anton observation tower is located on the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest on the southern border of the city district , about one kilometer east of the restaurant of the same name on Osningstraße. There is a television tower nearby. In the district of Lämershagen am Lewenberg, also in the Teutoburg Forest, there is the Hünensaut ground monument with remains of the ramparts of the Löwenburg . An old boundary stone on Detmolder Strasse on the border with Leopoldshöhe marks the border with Lippe.

With the Sieker cemetery , the Stieghorster cemetery, the Ubbedissen cemetery and the Lämershagen forest cemetery, the district has four cemeteries. The old Evangelical Lutheran parish church of Stieghorst is well worth seeing. Originally a fruit barn, it was converted into a church service room in 1898 and a bell tower was added at the beginning of the 20th century.

The northern part of the Bielefeld-Sennestadt Roman camp, which was discovered in 2017, is located in the Lämershagen-Gräfinghagen district . The camp was a marching camp that the Romans had set up around the time of Christ's birth south of the main ridge of the Teutoburg Forest.

Economy and Infrastructure

Sieker, Stieghorst and Hillegossen have a typical suburban character, while parts of Ubbedissen and Lämershagen are rural. The district of Stieghorst mainly consists of large apartment buildings that were built in the 1950s to 1970s and originally housed many refugees.

In particular, near Detmolder Strasse, there are industrial parks in which international companies are represented, such as the specialty paper manufacturer Mitsubishi HiTec in Hillegossen.

traffic

Today Stieghorst is one of the best connected suburbs of the city to the public transport with a total of 2 tram stops in the district area ( Sieker ín Sieker and Stieghorst Zentrum in Stieghorst) and the central bus stop "Stieghorst Zentrum", where besides the StadtBahn line 3 there are 5 Bus lines stop, 3 of which end there. They connect the district of Stieghorst with Hillegossen, Ubbedissen, Heideblümchen , Sennestadt , Oldentrup , Milse , Heepen and Brake (all of Bielefeld districts) as well as with the neighboring city of Oerlinghausen .

Hillegossen is also considered to be a bus crossing point in the east of Bielefeld, as all the bus lines just mentioned in the district from the end point Stieghorst (except for line 33 to Milse) with some bus lines coming from the end point Sieker to the districts of Milse and Heepen as well as to the surrounding cities of Oerlinghausen , Leopoldshöhe ( Asemissen district ) and Holte-Stukenbrock Castle ( Stukenbrock district ).

There are also connections from Sieker to the districts of Brackwede , Windelsbleiche and Senne in the south of Bielefeld, which neither serve Stieghorst nor Hillegossen (line 36).

The central traffic hubs in the district are therefore Sieker and Stieghorst Zentrum, most of which bus routes meet in Hillegossen and serve the surrounding districts and communities from there. The only exceptions are line 30, which does not have its end point in any of the city districts, but only crosses Stieghorst and Hillegossen (but not Sieker) on its way from Brake (Bielefeld northeast) to Heideblümchen (Bielefeld southeast), and line 36, which drives from Sieker directly towards the south of Bielefeld.

Line 33 from Sieker to Milse is the only bus line that connects Sieker and Stieghorst without a detour via Hillegossen.

Rail and bus transport

The Bielefeld-Ubbedissen stop in the east of the city district is on the Bielefeld – Lemgo railway line ( KBS 404 ). It is served by regional train 73 “Der Lipperländer” Bielefeld - Lage - Lemgo . The operation is carried out by the Eurobahn with diesel multiple units of the type Bombardier Talent .

In local public transport , line 3 of the Bielefelder Stadtbahn runs from the final stop Stieghorst Zentrum via Bielefeld-Mitte to Babenhausen Süd in the Dornberg district in the west of the city. The tram line 2 Sieker – Altenhagen has its final stop in the Sieker district on the western edge of the city district and runs via Bielefeld-Mitte, Bielefeld-Baumheide and Bielefeld-Milse to Altenhagen in the Heepen district. From the terminus of the tram there are bus connections from the local transport company to all parts of the district, to the neighboring districts of Heepen and Sennestadt and to the neighboring communities of Oerlinghausen and Leopoldshöhe in the Lippe district and the community of Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock in the Gütersloh district. An extension of line 3 beyond the current terminal to Hillegossen has been planned for years.

In local public transport , the regional Westphalia tariff applies to the TeutoOWL network.

Streets

Motorway 2 Dortmund - Hanover runs through the city district in a south-north direction , the Bielefeld-Ost junction of which is at the intersection with federal highway 66 . This is the old arterial road from Bielefeld to Detmold and runs in a west-east direction through Sieker, Stieghorst, Hillegossen and Ubbedissen. Its course is largely identical to Detmolder Strasse .

Public facilities

The residential monastery Salzburg looks back on a long tradition, as it goes back to Salzburg emigrants , Protestant religious refugees who found refuge in Prussia, but whose descendants had to leave the former German eastern territories as a result of the Second World War . The calibration office of the city of Bielefeld is located in Stieghorst and Ubbedissen has a public observatory .

The Edith Viehmeister house in Lämershagen is named after Edith Viehmeister (1920–1995) who was mayor of Lämershagen-Graefinghagen from 1964 to 1972 and mayor of Bielefeld from 1984 to 1989.
