Senner Hellweg

The Senner Hellweg is a street in Bielefeld that leads from the district of Buschkamp in the district of Senne to the city limits of Oerlinghausen. From there, the road continues as Hellweg with interruptions to Stukenbrock-Senne. Historically, it is a medieval connection between Bielefeld and Paderborn. The trade route ran along the southeastern edge of the Teutoburg Forest for about 30 kilometres through the then almost deserted Senne. The name Hellweg is interpreted, among other things, as "light, wide path". There is a counterpart north of the Teutoburg Forest, the Lipper Hellweg. The Senner Hellweg is a section of the Westphalian Hellweg, the most famous Hellweg in North Rhine-Westphalia.
