Detmold was first mentioned in 783 as Theotmalli (in 1627 by Johannes Piderit as Dithmal, Dithmaldt). According to Einhard and others, the name is derived from the Old High German-Old Saxon name for a people's court (Thing) (Theot for the people; mahal for court, court place), the origins of which probably go back to Roman times. In this year, Charlemagne is said to have been defeated by the Saxons in the Saxon Wars. From 1005 onwards, it was called Tietmelli or Theotmalli Gau in Old Saxony. In 1023, it is recorded that it gave its altar stone, consecrated in 799, to the Abdinghof monastery in Paderborn. The town of Detmelle, at the Werre crossing on the old trade route from Paderborn to Lemgo, where there had been a settlement with a baptismal church and some farm properties since the Franks, was granted Lippstadt town rights in 1263 by the noble Lord Bernhard III of Lippe.

The Bega River
Highlight • River
With love locks on bars in front of one side under a beautiful tree. The river below is also very interesting, is partly tapered and therefore flows a little faster. "Behind" the bridge we go directly towards the old town where beautiful old half-timbered houses await (in front of which there is currently a construction site because the street is being rebuilt, but that won't take forever).
