The Warburger Börde is a predominantly treeless Börden landscape in the administrative district of Detmold in the far east of North Rhine-Westphalia , of which small parts also lie in the administrative district of Kassel in Hesse .

geography

location

As a natural spatial unit , the Warburger Börde extends between the Eggegebirge in the west, the Oberwälder Land in the north and sickle-shaped in the west and east as well as the West Hessian mountains in the south. It is part of the Upper Weser Uplands and thus the German low mountain range threshold .

At the Warburger flange extending mainly in the circuit Hoxter is, have Borgentreich and Warburg substantial proportion. Willebadessen as well as Breuna and Liebenau border the area.

The slightly hilly landscape of the Warburger Börde is defined by wide arable land and is almost treeless, especially in the core area. It is on average at heights of around 200  m above sea level. NHN . Its highest and at the same time most striking elevation is the basalt cone Desenberg , which is 343.6  m high and is crowned by the ruins of Desenberg Castle .

The Warburger Börde is drained by the rivers Taufnethe in the northwest, Bever in the northeast and Eggel , which is fed by Eder and Mühlenbach , for example, within the Börden landscape , and Vombach in the south.

Natural structure

In the text of the 4th / 5th Delivery of the handbook of the natural spatial structure of Germany by Sofie Meisel in 1957, the author counted the Borgentreich Keupermulde around Borgentreich to the northern neighboring unit Oberwälder Land . When the same author published the first single sheet on the fine-grained division 1: 200,000 , sheet 98 Detmold , in 1959, this hollow was found again as partial landscape 361.1, while the limestone landscapes of the Oberwälder Land were combined into unit 361.0. The Liebenauer Bergland , located on both sides of the Diemel near Liebenau , belonged not to the Oberwälder Land, but to the Warburger Börde to the south .

When the final mapping for the manual came out in 1960, the Liebenauer Bergland with the Berverplatte on both sides of the Bever was included in the Oberwälder Land and the Borgentreich Mulde (natural area Große Börde ) was included in the Warburger Börde, as is the case with the usual labeling of the Warburger Börde on maps , roughly corresponds to the geological map 1: 300,000 Hessen. And that was followed by the following sheets 99 Göttingen and 111 Arolsen (both 1963) and 112 Kassel (1969). The numbering on the Detmold sheet differs accordingly and must be viewed as obsolete.

The following sub-units are distinguished according to the current status:

  • (to 36 Upper Weserbergland )
    • 360 Warburger Börde
      • 360.0 Große Börde (sheets Göttingen and Arolsen) = 361.1 Borgentreicher Land (sheet Detmold)
        • 360.00 (sheet Arolsen) = 361.10 Borgentreicher Börde (sheet Detmold)
        • 360.01 (sheet Arolsen) = 361.11 Ossendorfer plates (sheet Detmold)
      • 360.1 Diemelbörde (on sheet Detmold: 360.0 Diemelbörde + 360.2 Warburger Platten without the extreme west of the western part)
      • 360.2 Steiger plate

The author of sheet 111 Arolsen, Martin Bürgener, does not count the Warburger Börde to the Upper Weserbergland (main unit group 36), but to the West Hessian mountain and sink country (34).

economy

The Warburger Börde is very fertile and has always been used intensively for agriculture . Agriculture still plays an important role today. In addition to grain and other crops, sugar beets in particular are grown.

Historical meaning

The Warburger Börde has soils of very high quality and the highest land value index in West Germany. For this reason, people settled there more than 5000 years before the birth of Christ, at the time of the early Neolithic . The Börde is one of the first landscapes in Central Europe where people settled down. Traces of rural culture have been found in two ceramic settlements on the western edge of the Warburg Börde (between Hohenwepel and Peckelsheim).
