history
Paleolithic finds were discovered around worms, which indicates a long history of settlement.
Around 780 a parish with the church patrons St. Simon and Juda is said to have already existed in Wormeln . The first written mention comes from the year 1018 in a deed of donation Count Dodikos to Bishop Meinwerk .
For today's place name Wormeln there are the following historical names: Vormoln, Wormelen, Wormelon, Wormlon.
Around 1246 the Counts of Everstein donated the Wormeln Monastery to the nuns of the Gray Order of the Cistercian Sisters . On September 16, 1810, Jérôme Bonaparte (King of Westphalia ) decrees the dissolution of the monastery.
The first written mention of the shooting club goes back to 1604. In a contract between the monastery and the community, the formation of a rifle society "for the defensive protection of the women's monastery in acute emergency" was agreed. In 1730 the rifle club, which still exists today, was founded with the aim of ensuring the self-protection of the village in uncertain times. The "Huth" has been shot annually since 1730.
Thunder Mountain
The Wormelner Donnersberg is 214 m above sea level. NN located hilltop between the villages of Wormeln, Germete and Welda . The mountain lies between the tributary Twiste (Diemel) and the Diemel, a tributary of the Weser. The name of the hilltop is derived either from the name of the Germanic deity Thor or Donar or, as a mountain name , means Wetterberg , which attracts thunderstorms as the highest elevation (also known as Donar (ahd.), Thunaer (old Saxon) or Thor in the north). The deity and the Wormelner Donnersberg are described in Jacob Grimm's German Mythology . He quotes, among other things, references from the historia westphaliae of the Paderborn historian Nicolaus Schaten (1608–1676). Older spellings of the mountain name are Thuneresberg, Dunrisberg 1105, Thuneresberc, (1123), Thonrseberch, (1239). In the Middle Ages there was a free chair on the Donnersberg . This is also called Freigericht or Fem (e) gericht and should be documented in writing in several documents from the years 1100, 1123, 1205, 1226 and on April 8, 1239. The following exemptions: Count Erpho, 1123 Count Friederich and 1126 Count Konrad IV, or 1239 Count Otto von Everstein are said to have presided over the court. In the 1950s the slope was used as a quarry. In September 2008, a memorial stone with the inscription Freistuhl Donnersberg 1100-1239 was inaugurated on the Donnersberg . The parcel is now privately owned.
19th century
Prussian troops moved into the Hochstift Paderborn in August 1802 in anticipation of the decisions of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . From 1807 to 1813 Wormeln belonged to the Kingdom of Westphalia and the Canton of Volkmarsen in the Cassel district of the Fulda department . After the Congress of Vienna , Wormeln fell back to Prussia in 1815 and belonged to the newly established Prussian province of Westphalia . Wormeln was assigned to the Warburg district, newly founded in 1816, with the district town of Warburg and the Warburg-Land department in the Minden administrative district . From 1871 Wormeln was part of the German Empire .

Coat of arms
The town's coat of arms was designed and produced by the village chronicle working group on the occasion of the 750th anniversary of the monastery in 1996. The blazon (description of the coat of arms) reads: "On a shield divided by a silver diagonal right-hand river, on the left on a red field a silver helmet with two bushes of feathers growing apart, the upper one tied with blue-red-blue ribbon, on both sides equipped; on the right one of a red -White nested inclined left bar covered golden crook on a blue field. " Symbols and colors are historically based as follows: From the point of view of the beholder you can see: On the left side on a blue background is the red-silver chess bar with the abbess staff. The chess bar goes on the family crest of St. Bernhard von Clairvaux, according to whose rules the Cistercians lived in Wormeln from 1246 to 1810. The right side on a blue background shows a knight's helmet (pot helmet), which consists of two knotted plumes (see Westf. Siegelbuch). This part of the coat of arms is based on the seal of the Lords de Wormolon, who lived from 1225 to 1366. Both parts of the coat of arms are separated by a silver wavy line symbolizing the twist . The basic color red should reflect the affiliation to the dioceses of Mainz and Paderborn; while the color blue is supposed to indicate the special veneration of Mary by the Cistercian women.
