Location of Wehrendorf in Lower Saxony

Wehrendorf has belonged to the Lower Saxon community of Bad Essen in the Osnabrück district in Lower Saxony since 1972 .

geography

The place is two kilometers west of the core area of ​​Bad Essen on the B 65 . The 325.3 km long Mittelland Canal runs north on the local border; there is a port there.

history

Two finds from the Neolithic age suggest that Wehrendorf was settled early. In 1074 Wehrendorf was first mentioned in a document as "Wernapi". "Wernapi" is one of the "Apa" names, which the name researchers consider to be the oldest name layer at all and belong to the group of water names. Wehrendorf, located on the "porta osnabruegensis" in the Westsüntel (today: Wiehengebirge), was also the intersection of earlier hiking and traffic routes. Its particular administrative development from a peasantry in the parish of Essen, in the Westphalian prince-bishopric of Osnabrück, to a prosperous district of the municipality of Bad Essen is described in the article "Farmers - Community - Localities". On December 1, 1910, the place had 609 inhabitants. On July 1, 1972, the Wehrendorf , which had previously belonged to the Wittlage district, was incorporated into the Bad Essen community, now in the Osnabrück district.

Economy and Infrastructure

Until well into the 20th century, life in Wehrendorf was dominated by agriculture. The relationship between the village and the nearby manor of Bussche-Hünnefeld, to which the manor Buddemühlen in Wehrendorf also belonged, played an important economic role, as many of the Wehrendorfer farmers were self-employed or otherwise subject to tax. The Buddemühlen estate operated three watermills in Wehrendorf. Watercolors by the lay painter Carl Ludwig Alpers (1837–1892) have been preserved from two mills and are shown in the article on the Buddemühle. Alpers lived in Wehrendorf until he was 40 and painted everything that was associated with the name of von dem Bussche on behalf of Baron Clamor von dem Bussche-Hünnefeld. Among them are nine motifs from Wehrendorf, including the Buddemühle itself. The Bussche Hünnefeld estate operated a brick factory in the immediate vicinity of Wehrendorf. From 1870 onwards, Friedrich Hoffmann from Berlin commissioned a modern oblong lime ring kiln based on his patent, which was later expanded to include brick production.

A business book has come down to us from a blue dye works founded in the second half of the 19th century and operated by four generations. It lists around 360 customers with almost complete details of their job and place of residence, and their financial and social situation is also documented. As already mentioned, agriculture dominated, which, however, forced many Wehrendorfer to emigrate in times of agricultural crisis. But there was also - as the blue dyer's book shows - a wide range of non-agricultural occupations. A margarine factory was also established at the beginning of the 20th century. To this day, many new craft businesses and other trades have settled in Wehrendorf, with the successor to Hoffmann's brickworks, the Argelith Bodenkeramik company, operating internationally.

Educational institutions

According to tradition, schools started operating in Wehrendorf in the middle of the 17th century, right after the end of the Thirty Years' War. Although the exact date of foundation and the name of the first teacher are not known, the name of a teacher is documented for the year 1662. The patronage of the school, whose own building is owed to an inheritance from Anna Elisabeth von dem Bussche-Hünnefeld, who died in 1664, was exercised by the respective owners of the von dem Bussche-Hünnefeld estate until 1918. The Wehrendorf elementary school, which gradually moved into new buildings, still exists today. A kindergarten was added from the beginning of the 1970s and, more recently, a crèche.

The two school chronicles, which cover the period from the founding of the school to 1966, were kept by the respective headmasters, who describe the social change in Wehrendorf with the help of various sources beyond the actual school events. On the occasion of their publication in 1991 and 2007, they were provided with additional documents on the history of the village.
