Location of Wewelsburg in Büren
The Wewelsburg , landmark of the village

The village of Wewelsburg , resulting in a northerly, easterly and southerly direction to the eponymous castle above the Alme extends is, since the local government reform of 1975, part of the city Büren (Westphalia) in the district of Paderborn in the country North Rhine-Westphalia . The Wewelsburg houses a youth hostel and is the seat of the local history museum of the Paderborn district. The former Niederhagen concentration camp is also located in the village .

Geoscientific basics

Geographical location

Aerial photo taken on September 30, 2011 from the north

The village of Wewelsburg is located on the western edge of the Paderborn plateau , on the Brenkener Bergplatte, above the deeply cut Almetal , which represents the border to the Hellweg area. The Wewelsburg district includes altitudes of 163 m above sea level. NN in the Almetal up to 340 m above sea level. NN on the L 754.

geology

The Brenkener Bergplatte, on which Wewelsburg is located, is geologically not part of the actual Paderborn plateau. This mountain plate consists of Cretaceous limestone rocks. When drilling in the Almetal in the 1930s, groundwater was only found at a depth of 63 m. Up to a height of 190 m above sea level. NN ice age material is found in the topsoil. The soil here is sandy-loamy. The topsoil, which is only about 30 cm to 1 m deep, is often interspersed with limestone.

vegetation

In particular, the higher locations in the southern area of ​​the Wewelsburg district are forested. The natural growth form here is a mixed beech forest , to which today's managed forests largely try to match. Large parts of the district are used for agriculture, with the crops ripening up to two weeks later in the higher elevations over 250 m than in the lower elevations, e.g. B. in Almetal.

Weather and climate

In Wewelsburg there is a climate known as changeable , which is dominated by west and south-west winds. The long-term mean from 1961 to 1990 for Wewelsburg is an annual rainfall of 864.8 mm / a. Wewelsburg lies in a transition area between the lowland climate of the Westphalian Bay and the low mountain range climate of the Sauerland .

Neighboring places

Bordering on Wewelsburg, starting in the north in a clockwise direction: the districts of Oberntudorf and Niederntudorf von Salzkotten , the Haaren district of Bad Wünnenberg , and the Büren districts of Büren, Brenken and Ahden , which all belong to the Paderborn district.

Local division

Former Monastery and today's Gut Böddeken

The historic village center, mainly farms, is located in a semicircle to the southeast around the castle. Various settlements that arose in the 20th century are connected to this: To the south-east around the area of ​​the former Niederhagen concentration camp, a settlement from the 1940s and 1950s; To the north a settlement for displaced persons from the German eastern territories, which was mainly built in the 1950s; To the northeast, a settlement that was built in the 1980s and 1990s; To the east a settlement from the late 1990s and early 2000s; South-southeast as well. Haus Graffeln is located on the northern edge of the village, a castle that today belongs to the former noble family von und zu Brenken. At this point there was originally an aristocratic family that was already extinct in the Middle Ages. The Wewelsburg district is mainly characterized by agriculture and forestry. In the east of the district, in the "Valley of Peace", lies Gut Böddeken with the partly ruined remains of the old monastery of the same name founded by St. Meinolf . In the south is the small hamlet of Altenböddeken , which is also part of the district .

history

Prehistory and early history

The oldest archaeological finds in the Wewelsburg area date from the Mesolithic period , but are not sufficient to prove a human settlement. A hill settlement of the Rössen culture from the Middle Neolithic was located near the Böddeken estate . Two gallery graves were found from the early Neolithic in 1985 , one of which (gallery grave Wewelsburg I) can be assigned to the Wartberg culture , although it is possible that it was built by people of the funnel cup culture. The burial chamber of this grave was 16.2 × 2.1 × 1.2 m in size and made of local limestone. The grave contained 85 human skulls, as well as weapons, jewelry, bone and stone tools. Other finds from the same period were found in the vicinity of the two graves, but no settlement could be proven.

Archaeological investigations to the south-east of Böddeken uncovered the floor plan of a house from the Iron Age , with both pre-Roman and Roman artefacts.

middle Ages

In the Middle Ages, Wewelsburg belonged to the "Almegau" (pago Almunga), which on the one hand included the entire course of the Alme river and on the other hand various places up to Wünnenberg, Fürstenberg, Blankenrode and Dalheim, but was not a closed domain. On the mountain spur above the Almetal, the current location of the Wewelsburg, a defense system was probably first built to protect against the Hungarian invasions in the 10th century. The first documentary mention comes from the year 1123: Annalista Saxo reports of a complex called "Wifilesburg", which was rebuilt by Count Friedrich von Arnsberg . Friedrich had converted the castle into a fortress . After Friedrich died in 1124, the castle complex was destroyed again by farmers from the surrounding villages.

In today's Wewelsburg area there were several settlements in the Middle Ages that have fallen desolate in the meantime or permanently . The oldest of these was Altenböddeken, which is mentioned in a document from 1191 and which fell completely desolate in 1449. Graffeln, first mentioned in the first half of the 13th century and later abandoned, can be proven by archaeological finds as early as the 11th or 12th century. At a church ruin still visible today on the Kerkberg (plattd. "Kirchenberg") in Böddeken there was also a settlement, which was mentioned for the first time in 1278 and which fell in 1408. In the 14th century a place called Tedenklo was mentioned, which fell into desolation between 1381 and 1449, but has not yet been localized.

The settlement forms predominant in the Middle Ages were initially individual settlements , especially in newly developed areas, then courtyard group / composite settlements as forerunners of the village settlements. Finally, large courtyards ( villications ) formed.

In the High Middle Ages, the Wewelsburg area was subject to various rulers: In March 1021, Bishop Meinwerk of Paderborn received a county there “below the Wewelsburg”, the income from which was used to renovate the Paderborn Cathedral. In the 13th century a Gotwino de Graffen owned property in Graffeln. Since the beginning of the 14th century, the noble lords of Büren, who from 1309 also called themselves "von Wewelsburg", and the lords of Brenken shared the rulership in the Almegau, but repeatedly pledged the land in parts and a. to the bishop of Paderborn, who in turn lent the land to various knights. The von Brenken and von Büren-Wewelsburg families also repeatedly divided the land among themselves.

The first mention of a village called Wewelsburg is proven to be in 1354.

In 837, shortly after the relics of Saint Liborius had been translated from Le Mans to Paderborn , Saint Meinolf , archdeacon of the Paderborn Monastery , founded the Böddeken canonical monastery in the east of what is now Wewelsburg. There he died on October 5th, 857. The Böddeken Canonical Monastery was completely down at the end of the 14th century. As a result, the monastery was successfully reformed in 1408/09: On behalf of and with the support of Wilhelm von Berg, Elekt of the Paderborn Monastery , Gobelin Person transferred the Augustinian Canons from Zwolle in the Netherlands. After that, it gained national importance.

Early modern age

In 1588/1589 the Wewelsburg fell back to the Paderborn Monastery by redeeming the pledge , and became the prince-bishop's secondary residence. From 1603–1609, Prince-Bishop Dietrich von Fürstenberg had the building expanded as a regular three-wing complex with corner towers in its floor plan, which has been preserved to this day.

Wewelsburg was the seat of a lordly office ( Drostei ), to which the places Wewelsburg, Ahden, Oberntudorf, Niederntudorf, Haaren and Helmern belonged in the middle of the 17th century.

During the Thirty Years' War the castle and town were repeatedly occupied. In 1646, Swedish troops stormed the castle and the entire complex burned down. In 1650–1660 the castle was only externally restored. Due to the destruction, it lost its importance as the prince-bishop's secondary residence. However, it remained the seat of the official administration, which was exercised by a noble drosten, mostly represented by a rent master . The rent masters were members of leading middle-class families of the bishopric. The administration also included a house servant in the castle, one or two lumberjacks and six judges for the surrounding villages (the higher jurisdiction was exercised by a nobleman appointed by the Drosten, and the Droste held court together with the village judges). In 1668/69 the Droste received 100 Reichstaler annually, the Rentmeister 50 Taler, the Richter 13 Schillings (Wewelsburg and Niederntudorf) or 4 Talers (Ahden and Haaren).

1631 two found in Wewelsburg witch trials held, with the embarrassing questioning each since then in the interrogation room of the castle, popularly known as Hexenkeller referred, was carried out. In addition, a man who was accused of being a werewolf died here in 1657 .

In a protocol from 1710 119 people who cultivate land are recorded for Wewelsburg, 103 of whom were resident in Wewelsburg itself. Approx. 517 acres of land belonged to the castle, most of which was leased. In 1672 a cadastre was recorded which recorded 1431 acres of arable land, 12 acres of farms and 3 acres of meadow for Wewelsburg. In 1660 there were 58 farmers in Wewelsburg, of which only nine cultivated lands larger than 50 acres.

19th century: secularization

In February 1802 two fire disasters occurred in the village, which affected 32 buildings - including the local school - and left almost 150 people homeless. The reconstruction was made possible in part by the fire insurance of the Principality of Paderborn and with the help of the Böddeken monastery in the form of timber deliveries.

On May 23, 1802, an agreement between Prussia and France resolved the secularization of the Principality of Paderborn and this was incorporated into the Prussian state as the "Hereditary Principality". This was confirmed in the following year by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . So the Wewelsburg and the Böddeken monastery fell into Prussian state ownership. With the end of the state independence of the Principality of Paderborn, the Wewelsburg lost its function as a residence and as a court. Shortly thereafter, the Böddeken monastery was abolished; the Wewelsburg priest previously appointed from there was paid by the Prussian state. In 1804 there were 56 school-age boys and 46 girls in Wewelsburg. In 1805 101 fireplaces and 612 residents were found.

As a result of the Prussian defeat at Jena and Auerstedt , the former prince-bishopric of Paderborn came under French rule in 1806. From 1807 to 1813 Wewelsburg was part of the Kingdom of Westphalia , Fulda Department, Paderborn District, Canton Büren. The Wewelsburg residents were obliged to pay high taxes, which the former prince-bishop's rentmaster, now "district and domain receveur", asked his superiors to reduce to a lower level with reference to bad harvests and high market prices. In addition, the Wewelsburg residents were conscripted , some of them died in the Napoleonic campaigns.

After the Kingdom of Westphalia was dissolved in 1813 as a result of Napoleon's defeat, Wewelsburg came under Prussian administration again and was incorporated into the province of Westphalia , founded in 1815 . In the same year the north tower of the Wewelsburg was destroyed by a lightning strike. By decree of the royal government in Minden , Wewelsburg became part of the Büren district, founded in 1816 . In 1841, the previously practiced subdivision of the district into offices was approved, after which Wewelsburg became part of the office of Büren (previously Canton Büren).

In 1854, in the Altenböddeken district, on the border with the neighboring community of Haaren, a Protestant cemetery was set up for the mainly Protestant workers of the glass factory located there , which was founded in 1807. Since most of the cemeteries in the Archdiocese of Paderborn were reserved for the Catholic population, deceased Protestant denominations from all over the area were buried here again and again until 1928. In January 2008 it became known that the evangelical parish of Büren is planning to set up a cemetery here in cooperation with a local funeral director. In September 2008 the cemetery was solemnly rededicated (see: Evangelical Forest Cemetery Altenböddeken ).

In 1905 Wewelsburg received a central water supply with the establishment of the Almetalzentralwasserwerk .

20th century: Time of National Socialism, commemoration and incorporation

In 1924, the Büren district acquired the Wewelsburg and expanded it into a hiking hostel with an event hall and local history museum.

After Heinrich Himmler rented the Wewelsburg from the district for 100 years in 1934, it became a cult and terror site of the SS . For the Niederhagen concentration camp, which is adjacent to the village and was designed for the expansion and renovation of the Wewelsburg, there was now a separate registry office for the deaths of prisoners. In 1945 the SS tried to blow up the castle on Hitler's orders and set the entire complex on fire. The outer walls, with the exception of the north tower, were largely preserved.

The Wewelsburg was rebuilt as early as 1948/49; the north tower did not follow until 1973–1975. From 1950 it was again a youth hostel and seat of the local history museum of the Büren district, since 1975 of the Paderborn district.

Before January 1, 1975, the former municipality of Wewelsburg belonged to the Büren-Land office in the Büren district . When the Sauerland-Paderborn Act came into force on the same day, the eleven municipalities of the Büren Office, which had formed an administrative partnership with the city of Büren in anticipation of the municipal territorial reform in 1969, merged with the previous city of Büren to form the new city of Büren (Westphalia) came with this to the Paderborn district. The legal successor to the dissolved office of Büren and the municipality of Wewelsburg is the city of Büren (Westphalia).

Village council

The village council is the unofficial representation of the citizens of the village. It represents a kind of link between the citizens and politics. At the regular quarterly meetings, citizens can present concerns, complaints, etc., which are either taken over by the village council itself or passed on to local politics by the mayor who is present at each meeting. The village council has no official political decision-making power, but it informs the representatives of the village in the council of the city of Büren and in the district council of the Paderborn district about the will of the citizens. The village council also carries out a lot of the necessary work on its own, for which the municipality only makes part of the financial resources available. Since the village council is not a registered association, any interested citizen who attends the meetings or takes part in actions can be considered a member.

Current board of directors

  • Village council chairman: Josef Heber
  • 2nd chairman of the village council: Hubertus Kroll
  • Cashier: Elmar Kroll
  • Secretary: K. Mattenklodt

Coat of arms of the office of Büren

The former municipality of Wewelsburg did not have its own coat of arms. However, the Wewelsburg was included in the coat of arms of the Büren-Land office. The municipality of Wewelsburg also had this coat of arms in its official seal before it was incorporated into Büren.

Since January 2017, the village council has been using a logo that represents a stylized western view of the village. It can be used by all Wewelsburg clubs and groups.

Culture and sights

The main attraction and landmark of the village is the Wewelsburg , from which the place takes its name. It houses a youth hostel and is the seat of the local history museum of the Paderborn district with three exhibition focuses:

Nearby there is also a memorial for the victims of the Niederhagen concentration camp , where forced laborers lived at the time of National Socialism for the planned expansion of the Wewelsburg into the center of the National Socialist world.

Outside the village there is also a recently uncovered target shooting range for the camp's guards.

In the center of the village is the Catholic parish church of St. Jodokus .

East of the village of Wewelsburg, in the valley of peace, lies Gut Böddeken ; These are the remains of an old monastery, which was founded in 837 by the Paderborn archdeacon Meinolf , who was later canonized and the patron saint of the Bürener and Paderborn Land, with the support of the Corvey Monastery, initially as a canonical monastery. A structural renovation, the expansion and the design of the monastery by the Augustinian monks took place over a longer period from 1434 to 1487.

Between Gut Böddeken and Altenböddeken are the Meinolfus Chapel and the Böddeken military cemetery with fallen soldiers from the Second World War .

On the banks of the Alme there is an oak tree with a chest height of 8.50 m (2016).

Economy and Infrastructure

Wewelsburg has 2190 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2019). In the village there is a kindergarten and the Wewelsburg elementary school. This is the main location of the Alemtal primary school network, in whose two locations (Brenken and Wewelsburg) the students from the villages of Ahden, Brenken and Wewelsburg are taught. The Wewelsburg primary school is run in two classes as an open all-day school. With the neighboring Salzkotten district of Niederntudorf to the north, there is a primary school association whose sponsors have been the towns of Salzkotten and Büren (Westphalia) since 1975. The secondary school in Niederntudorf / Wewelsburg is based in Niederntudorf.

At the sports field in Oberhagen there is a youth club of the city of Büren, which is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during the afternoon hours.

The economy is artisanal and agriculturally oriented.

A wind farm built in 2011 is located south of the village .

traffic

Paderborn / Lippstadt Airport is located near the village in the neighboring Ahden district of Büren .

The south of the district cuts through the A 44 Dortmund - Kassel with the Büren junction in the direction of Dortmund near the Bürener district of Brenken and the Wünnenberg-Haaren motorway junction in the direction of Kassel near the Wünnenberg district of Haaren .

The Kreisstraße 37 , known as Kleiner Hellweg , runs parallel to the Almetal northeast via Oberntudorf and Wewer to Paderborn , southwest at the airport and past Brenken towards Büren. The L 751 runs through Wewelsburg and is called Salzkottener Straße as it passes through the town . It leads north to Salzkotten, where it crosses the K 37 and L 776 . The L 751 leads south to Haaren.

The Wewelsburg area is part of the Paderborn-Höxter public transport network . BBH buses, BahnBus ​​Hochstift GmbH, connect the village with the airport and the city of Paderborn. A direct bus connection to the core city of Büren no longer exists. Sometimes waiting times at the airport have to be accepted. On weekends and before public holidays, night buses run from Paderborn to Wewelsburg.

Wewelsburg no longer has a train station. Freight traffic took place on the Almetalbahn until the 1990s . After a failed attempt to use it as a museum railway, the rails were dismantled in autumn 2006. The former station building then functioned as a restaurant with only occasional use. The name of the bus stop Wewelsburg Bahnhof is reminiscent of the earlier railway connection .

The Alme cycle path leads through Wewelsburg .
