    "... Church communities also have their history.
    At the time when our Savior lived, the
    pagan Germanic tribe of the Sigambri lived in the primeval forests between the Ruhr
    and Lippe, through which one had to clear a path with an axe. They were expelled by the Brukterians around the year 200. The Brukterians have left many traces up to our days. The mill stream was called Borachtbeki, i.e. Bruktererbach.
    This later gave rise to the name Borbeck. ..."

    The source and especially the artificial border is clearly getting old and a bit dirty. A little care would do well.
