geology

Geothermal map of Willebadessen

The solid rock that rose to the surface was formed in the Mesozoic around 245 to 95 million years ago from sea and river sedimentations. The near-surface loose rock originate from the Ice Age and are therefore much younger (approx. 10,000 years).

Especially in the Warburger Börde in the southeastern section of the urban area, but also in valley cuts, loose rock, for example loess deposited by the wind , also sand and gravel cover the bedrock. This consists of sandstones from the Lower Cretaceous in the area of the Eggegebirgskamm . In contrast, the eastern mountain slope up to the Selle - Willebadessen - Borlinghausen line is formed with a few exceptions by clay and marl stones from the Jura , Keuper and locally from the Buntsandstein Age . In the eastern part of the city there are clay and marl stones, and to a lesser extent sand and dolomite stones from the Keuper.

The karstified limestones of the upper and lower Muschelkalkzeit form the most important aquifers, they are used to obtain drinking water. Natural mineral water emerges from the Egge spring. Due to the partial dissolution of gypsum in the subsoil, however, the groundwater is partly rich in calcium sulfate, so that it cannot be used as drinking water.

At the crest of the harrow prevail podsols ago. The eastern slope of the Egge is covered by podsol brown earth and brown earth podsoles, some of which are waterlogged and are therefore used as pastureland. Waterlogged soils are also predominant in the Fahlenbruch north of Schweckhausen. The eastern area of the municipality is of very nutritious Rendzinas from carbonate rocks covered. In the area of flat slopes, parabrown soils occur that are used for arable farming. In the floodplain of the Nethe there are very productive, deep brown floodplain soils made of young silty - loamy flowing water sediments that are also used for arable farming.

Willebadessen is well to very well suited for the use of geothermal heat sources by means of a geothermal probe and heat recovery through heat pump heating (see the adjacent map).

coat of arms

Coat of arms from 1977

Description of coat of arms : In gold under a red, Gothic double archway, in blue robes, the figure of St. Vitus in front and that of a bishop in the back.

Origin: The oldest known coat of arms from 1318 is based on the coat of arms of the Willebadessen monastery : the two patrons St. Vitus and Maria stood in front of a Gothic church. In this representation there was an image of the Bishop of Paderborn in the foot. In a representation from 1908 the bishop was no longer shown.

Today's coat of arms was awarded with a certificate from the district president in Detmold on February 17, 1977. Only the double arch is left of the Gothic church. The thirteen spheres on the archway represent the districts after the municipal reorganization in 1975. Saint Vitus was adopted, the Virgin Mary was replaced by a representation of a bishop. This comes from the coat of arms of the former municipality of Peckelsheim , which is now part of Willebadessen.

The Benedictine monastery Willebadessen was founded in 1149 and existed until it was abolished in 1810. The monastery church was originally a cross-shaped three-nave pillar basilica , which was rebuilt several times. Today the church serves as a parish church. Of the other monastery buildings, the abbey with the cloister has been preserved. These buildings came into changing hands, from 1871 to the Barons von Wrede . The building temporarily housed the European Sculpture Park Foundation in Willebadessen . The founding chapel of the monastery, which used to have two aisles and was later reduced in size, has also been preserved.

The Vitus Chapel is located in the southeast of the city and is the station of the annual Good Friday procession. The plastered chapel is hexagonal and has a tent roof with a bell rider. The interior is illuminated by four narrow windows. The inscription above the portal shows that the chapel was built in 1687 by the abbess Anna Ursula von Keller.

The water tower at Willegassen / Schönthal was built in 1904. It has an internal water tank and a pump wind turbine.

In 1338 the Knights von Spiegel left their castle on the Desenberg and settled in Borlinghausen, among other places. Werner and Katharina had the moated castle Borlinghausen rebuilt by 1587. The two-wing complex faces south and west and has an octagonal stair tower in the courtyard. The north gable was erected in the early 17th century.

The Schweckhausen castle was in the 16th century in the style of the Weser Renaissance built by the family levels. Today the moated castle is privately owned and is used for recreation and leisure activities with horses.

The Bierbaums Nagel lookout tower is in the Egge Mountains near Borlinghausen and is the oldest lookout tower in East Westphalia. In 1849 it was built by Julius Bierbaum so that his wife from Kassel could see Hercules, the symbol of her hometown, if he was homesick.

The telecommunications tower Willebadessen measures 152.5 meters and is operated by Deutsche Telekom. It was built in 1989 and is used for directional radio, mobile radio and the transmission of digital radio programs in the DAB + standard as well as the FM program of Radio Hochstift . The antennas for the public broadcasters ZDF and WDR were dismantled with the introduction of DVB-T in 2007.

The Eggetunnel , built between 1996 and 2003, is 2880 m long and lies on the railway line from Hamm to Warburg. After the tunnel planning at Neuenheerse in 1847 was too complex, this single-tube and double-track Eggetunnel was built. It replaced the original above-ground alignment, opened on October 4, 1850, to the east. It ran east of the Paderborn mountain and the Teufelsküche between Neuenheerse and Herbram-Wald, but was destroyed several times in landslides and only allowed medium speeds. Just south of the new line was 1853, the viaduct Willebadessen over the valley of Ricke Bach (Bach Rieke, Hellenbach) built.

The old railway is located west of Willebadessen and is now a ground monument. After the construction of a railway tunnel began here, the construction company, the Cologne-Minden-Thuringian Connection Railway Company (KMTVEG) , went bankrupt and the tunnel remained unfinished.

The Borlinghausen Castle Park is a privately owned, non-public area of around 3 hectares in size. The landscaped garden is well-tended and today is characterized by wide lawns and old trees. Most of the historical route system has been changed. The main features are a large, round water basin with a fountain and a historic garden sculpture, as well as an avenue of lime trees several hundred meters long.

The Niesen Castle Park is also privately owned and not open to the public. The landscape park is around 3 hectares in size. Most of the park is used for forestry today; However, in addition to the old trees, ponds and equipment from the former water systems have been preserved on the manor house.

The Helmern Manor Park is a privately owned, non-public area of around 2 hectares in size. This landscape park was probably created northwest of the manor house in the middle of the 19th century. The partly overgrown historical landscape park is still recognizable in its main features through the existence of old trees. In the north an old wall borders the facility. While most of it is used as pastureland today, a re-establishment of the gardens is visible in the immediate vicinity of the manor house. A chestnut avenue lines the farm road that runs to the south.

The city is also home to a wildlife reserve on the Egge Mountains.
