History
Lippspringe is mentioned in chronicles as early as the 9th century, and here in the 13th century the order of the Templars established a stronghold. It received civic rights about 1400.

During the 19th century, the Arminius spring and the Liborius spring, with saline waters of a temperature of 21 °C, were used both for bathing and drinking in cases of tuberculosis.
