geography

location

The village of Welda is the southernmost village in the district of Höxter ( administrative district Detmold ) on the border with the federal state of Hesse ( district of Waldeck-Frankenberg ). In the southern foothills of the Teutoburger Wald / Eggegebirge nature park , it is located between the central center Warburg, seven km to the north, and the Hessian sub-center Volkmarsen, five km south, on an axis between the upper center Paderborn (40 km) and Kassel (35 km).

The district of Welda is mostly located in the valley of the upper Twiste , into which the Hörler Bach, coming from the west, from the neighboring Hessian Hörle , flows in the village . In Hesse, the "Hörler Bach", which rises near Dehausen, is officially called Welda with the same name . The district is surrounded by six nature reserves . It is situated between wooded hills, the in Eichholz located Iberg ( 285.5 m above sea level. NHN ) in the southwest, the Hoppenberg ( 245.1 m ) to the northeast with its northern flank Kümmelberg in the north-east and the Weldaer Mountain ( 230.6 m ) in North.

Neighborhoods

Welda is located between the villages of Germete in the north, Wormeln in the northeast, Calenberg in the east-northeast, three other Warburg districts, the Breuna district Wettesingen in the east, the Breuna core town in the southeast, Volkmarsen in the south, its three districts Külte in the southwest, Herbsen in the southwest and Hörle in the west- south- west as well as Ammenhausen and Dehausen in the west, Rhoden in the west-north-west and Wethen in the north-west, four districts of Diemelstadt in the Hessian district of Waldeck-Frankenberg.

geology

From the area of Wethen and Welda, a Lias Eisenerz Horizont (also called Volkmarser Lias-Graben), known from geological mapping, extends over the state border from North Rhine-Westphalia to Hesse and ends in the vicinity of Volkmarsen. To the west of this trench there are red sandstone - and to the east, mainly shell limestone formations. Welda is also on the outer edge of the Warburg fault zone .

Natural space

The border between two main natural areas runs through the Welda district. These are the Eichholz and the Volkmarser Graben (No. 341.14) in the west of the district , which belong to the Ostwaldecker Randsenken (natural spatial main unit 341) and to the east of the state road 552 the Steigerplatte (340.2) and the Warburger Börde (360.01), which belong to the Upper Weserbergland (natural spatial main unit D36) belong. The Iberg , the Weldaer Berg and Welda belong to the natural spatial main unit of the Waldeck red sandstone ridge (341).

Climate and nature

The Welda district lies between the Eggegebirge and Rhenish Slate Mountains . Both mountain ranges have comparatively high amounts of precipitation and lower temperatures, while the Weldaer Berg has less precipitation (600–650 mm p. A.) And higher temperatures ( mean annual temperature : 8.0–8.5 ° C). The area around Welda marks a climatic divide. In the mountains, the amount of precipitation depends on the direction of the strike to the prevailing air flow (in both cases windward), whereas the Weldaer is on the leeward side.

The area around Welda in the Twist valley has the lowest rainfall in Westphalia, with relatively high temperatures. There is a precipitation limit at the Twiste viaduct . Welda is located in the catchment area of the Diemel Valley , which has a total of 750 hectares of limestone grassland and is the largest contiguous area with sub - Mediterranean semi- arid grassland in northwest Germany.

Nature reserves, flora and fauna

Due to the continuous and intensive management of the river, the Diemel Valley and in particular the Welda nature reserves have a particularly species-rich fauna and flora. The fauna and flora in the Welda nature reserve have been continuously examined by various naturalists (K. Uffeln, Joseph Peitzmeier , F. Koppe, F. Runge etc.) for over a hundred years .

Almost a quarter (2.12 km²) of the district area of Welda is designated as a nature reserve (NSG) - there are a total of six NSG:

Weldaer Berg (area 36 ha, maximum height 230.6 m , nature protection in force since 1949; No. HX-002): Flora: common cat's paw , male orchid , spring sedge , common dog's tongue , yellow sun rose , Geneva greenery , common juniper ; Fauna: rare butterfly and ram species, etc.
Juniper grove on the Iberg (area 95.6 ha, maximum height 285.5 m , in force since 1944; No. HX-004): Flora: Hepatica , Spiky St. Christopher , greenish forest hyacinths , white forest birds and sage .
Schalkstal (area 21.75 ha, maximum height 221 m , in force since 1986; No. HX-026): For the preservation of communities and habitats of certain wild plants and animal species.
Welda Forest (area 48.7 ha, maximum height 296 m , in force since 1986; No. HX-027): For the preservation, development and restoration of significant habitats and habitats of rare and endangered and typical landscape-typical animal and plant species within a large forest complex, which is characterized by a high proportion of species-rich beech forests on limestone sites. In particular, woodruff beech forests are to be protected in their locally different forms, as well as orchid-beech forests, orchid-lime-beech forests (Cephalanthero-Fagion), woodruff beech forests (Asperulo-Fagetum).
Hoppenberg (area 10.4 ha, maximum height 245.1 m , in force since 1987; No. HX-036): For the maintenance and restoration of communities and habitats of certain wild plants and animal species.
Iberg near Welda ( CDDA no. 344691; 1994; 45 ha)

There are natural privet deposits on the Iberg and Weldaer Berg.

Settlement structure

Welda town center, 1830

The current core of the settlement, which was most likely rebuilt in the 12th century around the church and the manor, is crossed by the Hörler Bach and lies west of the Twiste . At the end of the 1950s, a new building area on the eastern slope of the Iberg and a building area on Hoppenberg (above the train station) were opened up. Some farms were relocated as part of the land consolidation in the 1950s. The old settlement Altwelda , which is about 1 km north of today's town center, fell into desolation in the late Middle Ages. No information is available about the settlement structure of the desert. The bypass road leads the traffic between Volkmarsen and Warburg past the eastern edge of the town center. Until the beginning of the 20th century, through traffic still ran through the town.

history

Welda is a historical border town in the triangle of the former territories Hochstift Paderborn (Welda), Principality of Waldeck (Hörle) and Duchy of Westphalia , which later became Kurhessen (Volkmarsen). The three-country border ran on the Iberg .

Early history

Some prehistoric finds on the Iberg are documented. Some barrows are on the hills. The original place Altwelda was probably settled from 500 AD . It is located at the foot of the Weldaer Berg, south of today's motorway exit. This settlement fell in desolation around 1350.

middle Ages

The area around Welda or Warburg was Christianized around 776.

Welda is mentioned as the village of Wellethi in the so-called Corveyer Traditions , the property register of the Corvey monastery , in the year 836 and in the same period as Welisi in the Codex Eberhardi . Around 876 the Conradin Count Berengar was the landlord in Welda. The place was then in the Saxon Hessengau .

In 1010 Welda fell to the diocese of Paderborn . In 1188 the noble family of Welda (Wellede) is mentioned for the first time as the local landlords of Welda. Since then Welda has belonged to the secular rule of the Diocese of Paderborn , originally in the Duchy of Saxony . From the 14th century, the territory of the prince-bishopric of Paderborn ( Hochstift ) was formed in the Holy Roman Empire , and from the 16th century it belonged to the Lower Rhine-Westphalian Empire .

The St. Kilians Church in Kirchwelda (Neuwelda) was built between 1200 and 1250 , not far from the Hörler Bach and the Twiste . The patronage name indicates a missionary work in the area from the Diocese of Würzburg , probably before 774, d. H. before the Christianization of Warburg. Welda belonged to the diocese of Paderborn, while the neighboring towns of Wormeln and Volkmarsen (until the Reformation) belonged to the archbishopric of Mainz . The diocese border was the twist. Johann von Wellethe has come down to us as the first priest. An older church (probably made of wood) is believed to be in Alt-Welda or Oberwelda, below the Welda mountain. Around 1231 the cathedral cantor was given supervision over Welda; the villages of Ammenhausen and Dehausen belonged to the mother church Welda. Godschalk von Wellethe gave a subject freedom. Corvey Monastery reports on the landowner at Welda, Thethard von Wellede.

Between 1265 and 1266, the Lords of Wellede took part in the peace between the Bishop of Paderborn and Landgrave Heinrich I of Hesse . Kercwelede (Kirchwelda) was first mentioned in 1291. Alt-Welda is first mentioned in a document in 1309. Between 1347 and 1352 the plague raged in Welda. In 1380 Knight Albert was patron saint of Welda. In the fiefdom register of the ladies' monastery in Heerse from 1403 a distinction is made between Oberwelda and Unterwelda.

In 1469, the Wellede family died out in the male line. As a result, the Geheime Rat Gottschalk von Haxthausen , white line, was enfeoffed with the Welledesche fiefdom of the Paderborn bishopric, in particular the castle fiefs on the Warburg Castle and the village of Welda, each with the associated Kötterstätten. Around 1486 he had a mill built on the Hörler Bach.

Surname

For today's place name Welda there are the following historical names: Wellede, Welde, Kerkwellede.

Early modern times and modern times

16th Century

During the Reformation, the Knights of Haxthausen, like many other noble families in the bishopric, tended to adopt the new denomination. The von Haxthausen had the church patronage of the local church of St. Kilian and therefore had the right to propose new appointments to the local pastor, who had to be confirmed by the Bishop of Paderborn. At the hearing of the cathedral cantor responsible for the archdeaconate, however, the pastor seemed Catholic.

In 1588 a Gottschalck von Haxthausen was named Vogt zu Welda in a contract .

17th century

Around 1600 Welda had 50 houses and around 400 inhabitants, making it the second largest village in the Warburg area. In the Thirty Years War Welda lost a quarter of the houses and 100 inhabitants. In 1660 Welda was obliged to set up and equip a rifle company. In 1693 the pastor Bernadus Hillebrand created church records.

A village school was established in Welda at the end of the 17th century. From 1734 to 1736 Gottschalk's descendant Hermann Adolf von Haxthausen had Welda Castle built. With his death, the Welda branch of the Haxthausen family died out in the male line.

18th century

In 1701 there was a conflagration in Welda. During the battle in neighboring Hörle (1703) the Danes were to be prevented from marching through. The fire of 1723 destroyed half of the village, a total of 43 houses.

Welda Castle around 1840

Hermann Adolf von Haxthausen , Oberfeldmarschall in the Hochstift Paderborn, was the builder of the baroque palace in Welda, built between 1734 and 1736 by the architect Justus Wehmer . An orangery was built later. Prince-Bishop Clemens August I of Bavaria (1700–1761) is said to have lived in Welda Castle on one of his trips.

The peasants had to do numerous military services in the Seven Years' War (1756–1763). In 1787, Welda became the property of the Lords of Brackel . In 1796, the French Johann Nicolaus Rappe became pastor in Welda and replaced Johann Heinrich Wünnenberg. In the "Wormelner Klosterkrieg" of September 1797, a dispute between the farmers and nuns in which Hessian troops were involved, the citizen Wüllerich from Welda died.

19th century

In 1802 the castle was given to French Trappists who ran a school there. They had to give up the castle a year later under the new Prussian rule, because Prussian troops moved into the Paderborn bishopric in anticipation of the decisions of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss in August 1802. From 1807 to 1813 Welda belonged to the Kingdom of Westphalia and the Canton of Volkmarsen in the Cassel district of the Fulda department . After the Congress of Vienna , Welda fell back to Prussia in 1815 and belonged to the newly established Prussian province of Westphalia . Welda was assigned to the Warburg district, newly founded in 1816, and the Warburg-Land office in the Minden administrative district .

From 1817 a local chronicle was created on behalf of the district government. In 1819 the shooting society was re-established. In 1823 a new school house and a new rectory were built. The writer Ferdinande von Brackel was born in Welda in 1835. In 1840 the road to Warburg was built.

There is evidence of a visit to Welda by Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm, the later ninety-nine-day Emperor Friedrich III. in 1856. He donated a chalice to the church. In the course of industrialization, Welda was connected to the Warburg – Sarnau railway in 1890 ; In May 1890 the Welda station was inaugurated after the construction and opening of this branch line.

20th century

In 1931 the von Brackel family gave up the manor in Welda. The property was initially rented to the Association of Catholic Workers Colonies in Westphalia. Under the leadership of seven Franciscans, around 100 homeless people were prepared for working life. The owner changed again in 1938 when Reinhard Henschel, a son of the Henschel industrial family from Kassel and later a diplomat, took over the estate.

Welda was largely spared from attacks during the Second World War. An Allied fighter plane, which had been damaged by anti-aircraft guns in the bombing of the city of Kassel on October 22, 1943, crashed on the return flight in a field in the Welda district. Some freight trains that passed Welda on the Warburg-Volkmarsen railway line were attacked by fighter planes. Towards the end of the war, on March 30, 1945, a so-called end-phase crime occurred, during which a resident of Welda was shot by a Volkssturm command sent by the NSDAP district leadership. Like other homeowners, he had hoisted a white flag in view of the approaching American troops and refused to take it down.

Memorial stone for the reception camp for prisoners of war

After the war there was a US reception camp with around 80,000 German prisoners of war in the eastern suburb near the train station in 1945. A prominent prisoner was the future German national team football coach, Jupp Derwall .

From 1945 to 1949 Welda was part of the US-American zone of occupation for a short time, and after that it was part of the British zone of occupation due to swaps of territory between the Allied powers . From 1946 the district of Warburg was part of North Rhine-Westphalia and from 1949 of the Federal Republic of Germany .

Until the municipal reorganization in North Rhine-Westphalia in 1975, Welda was an independent municipality and belonged to the Warburg district at that time (vehicle registration number WAR), Warburg-Land administrative area. On January 1, 1975, when the Sauerland / Paderborn law came into force , Welda became a district of Warburg.

The village was damaged in the last century by numerous floods caused by the Hörler Bach and Twiste. The greatest damage was in 1947, the July flood in 1956 and the Heinrich flood of 16/17. Recorded July 1965. Since then , no more flood damage has occurred due to the construction of the Twistesees , the retention basin and the deepening of the stream bed.

Welda has won several prizes in the North Rhine-Westphalian state competition Our village should become more beautiful - our village has a future .

Economic and social history

The place is characterized by several farms. There is a shepherd's farm on site in Welda, which is used in a pilot project as a workplace for people with disabilities and is involved in the maintenance of the lean limestone soils in the nature reserves.

Based on the quarries in the Welda district, there were also several construction companies on site. Among these companies, the Anton Todt construction company was of national importance. It built, mostly in cooperation with the Westphalian church builder Franz Mündelein , one of the last representatives of historicism, several churches (e.g. in Ossendorf, Reelsen and in East Sauerland) in the Archdiocese of Paderborn . The company had over 80 employees. The company that operated the quarry on Hoppenberg, with a siding, was bought up by a competitor at the end of the 1920s and operations were gradually discontinued after the acquisition. In the south of the district on the other side of the border to Volkmarsen there was a small iron mining company on the Ralekesberg. The company had only a few employees, most of whom came from Welda.

There were two grinding mills on the two bodies of water (Hörler Bach and Twiste ) in the village. The larger mill on the Twiste changed hands several times from 1858 and the water power was used in different ways. At first it was used to operate a wire and nail factory (until approx. 1879), later a sawmill and, from 1910, a hydroelectric power station to generate electricity.

In Welda is the seat of Dr. Hartmann'schen Armenstiftung (foundation fund), which was recognized on July 12, 1860. This foundation is therefore the oldest in the old Warburg district. The purpose of the facility is charity or support for those in need in the city of Warburg.

From 1938 to the 1970s, a gardening business was operated on the manor.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the village

Today's (unofficial) coat of arms has been used by Welda since 1997. It was designed by Bruno Hake, the local home attendant at the time. The story of the village was fundamental. The four-part division of the shield results in a cross, which stands for the bishopric of Paderborn , because the sovereign was the prince-bishop until 1802/3. The four fields represent the long manorial rule in the history of Welda. The first landlords were the Knights of Wellede , (1188 – around 1500); they wore weaver shuttles (also called Webschütz ) in their coat of arms (heraldic: top right) -s. there-. Actually, only her seal has been handed down. The new coat of arms shown was derived from this. In 1469 the Paderborn bishop Simon Gottschalk von Haxthausen enfeoffed with the fief in Welda; the Haxthausener coat of arms is the wagon braid of a wagon (top left). Other landlords were the von Brackel family ; their coat of arms is a knight's three-lobed turtle collar (bottom right). The history of the place is always strongly influenced by the Catholic Church, hence the church tower in the coat of arms (bottom left).

Due to the explanations of the local history, the coat of arms is a so-called Redendes Wappen .

Culture and sights

St. Kilian front of the main entrance, admission to the east

The Catholic Church of St. Kilian was built around 1220. The quarter consoles, which have similarities with the Lippoldsberg consoles, are interesting in terms of art history. In each of the six boxes there are symbols that can be interpreted as a Greek picture puzzle. The Welda church tower, which looks like a defensive tower , is striking .

Welda Castle entrance

The Welda Castle was from 1734 to 1736 for Hermann Adolph von Haxthausen built, the marshal of the Bishopric of Paderborn. The Hildesheim cathedral builder Justus Wehmer , who also planned Vinsebeck Castle , was the builder, and the architectural history of both castles is closely linked. The Kassel baroque sculptor Johann Georg Kötschau was also involved as an artist in the construction. The Welda Palace Park (approx. 1 hectare) is a historic baroque and landscape garden. The garden was laid out between 1738 and 1758; Carl Hatzel was hired as a horticultural artist. The orangery , which was built between 1756 and 1763, is part of the entire palace complex . On the southern access road to the castle there is an avenue of lime trees with a roundabout in front of the castle entrance . A baroque garden wall in the northern part of the garden has partially collapsed. Today there are concerts in the castle, and it is also used for weddings (weddings, branch office of the registry office) and other cultural events.

The Welda hydropower plant was already supplying electricity for the first time in 1910 . The power plant was built in a converted mill. The old mill houses a communal kindergarten and a local museum, in which historical objects from village life are collected and exhibited. The oldest still existing residential building (half-timbered building) was built in 1747.

The Kuba (short for Kulturbahnhof ) is a dance club with a beer bar in Welda and one of the most popular nightlife spots among young people in the Warburger Börde. The Cuba is the venue for cultural events such as concerts and readings. Three village restaurants are a place of communication for the citizens and guests of the place.

The Weldaer Schützenfest is held annually in June.

societies

Welda has a large number of clubs and groups (e.g. music, shooting, Kolping, fishing, game and sports clubs, KFD, German Red Cross, volunteer fire brigade) that maintain the cultural, charitable and social life in Welda .

The Welda Kolping Family is very active and has a large number of members. There is a local youth group. The association helps with many voluntary and community projects and organizes church and family celebrations. The local communal kindergarten in the Alte Mühle is named after Adolph Kolping.

The Heimatschutzverein Welda e. V. was originally founded as a shooting society in 1593 and re-established in 1949 after the Second World War. The association organizes the annual royal shooting and the three-day shooting festival in Welda and is a member of the Westphalian Heimatbund . The Weldaer Schützenkönig takes part in the annual town rifle festival.

The game and sports club Welda e. V. was founded on September 6, 1919 for the purpose of promoting sports and helping young people. The club currently has around 250 members and two departments: football and leisure / popular sports. The association is a member of the FLVW and its umbrella organizations.

Traffic and walking

Welda is characterized by good transport links to the state and national transport network:

Streets

The next larger towns with a supply function (e.g. Warburg, Volkmarsen or Bad Arolsen) can be reached from Welda by motor vehicle within 10 to 15 minutes, the regional centers Paderborn and Kassel in a good 30 minutes. Two kilometers away, in the Welda district on the B 252, is the Warburg junction (AS no. 60) of the 44 federal motorway ; The latter leads north-northeast of Welda over the Twiste viaduct . The federal road 252, which merges into the state road 552 south of the motorway exit , leads to Warburg in the north and to Volkmarsen in the south. The neighboring towns of Volkmarsen, Hörle (both in Hesse), Wormeln and Germete (both in North Rhine-Westphalia) can be reached via state or district roads.

bus and train

Welda is connected to the local public transport network by a bus line ( Warburg - Volkmarsen ).

In 1890 a section of the Warburg – Marburg line to Arolsen was opened with a station in Welda. This route was closed in 1982 (after passenger traffic ended here on May 28, 1967) and has been used as a cycle path since 1989 (see section hiking and cycle paths ). The station building was sold and is now used as a private residence. The closest connections to the rail network are in Warburg (including IC stop) and in Volkmarsen .

Air traffic

The nearest commercial airports are near Paderborn ( Paderborn / Lippstadt Airport - 46 km) (on the A 44) and near Kassel ( Kassel-Calden - 27 km on the B 7 ).

Hiking and biking trails

A hiking trail (section of the X2, Löwenweg or Hessenweg 2) from Warburg to Volkmarsen runs as a high trail east of Welda and crosses the district in the Papental below the federal motorway 44. The hiking or cycling path V2 connects Volkmarsen (near the brickworks) with Welda (Driveway) on the old connecting road. This path runs about 1000 m away from a parallel bypass road of the L 552. The former railway line between Volkmarsen and Warburg was converted into a cycle path (R 51) in 1989, which is connected to the national cycle path network.

Historic ways

The historic Eisenweg (also called Eiserweg ; field name of the same name in Welda) begins in Marsberg and ends in Beverungen on the Weser, it runs in the north of the Welda district. The historical trade route from Gießen to Bremen leads past the eastern part of the Welda district on the north-south axis, as it were, as a high-altitude route (today parallel to federal motorway 44). The Twist valley runs almost at ground level north to Warburg-Altstadt and south to Korbach.
