Eckardtsheim is a district in the Sennestadt district of the independent city of Bielefeld in North Rhine-Westphalia and borders on Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock and Verl. Departments of the Von Bodelschwingh Foundation Bethel are located in the district.
A historical tour of Eckardtsheim's history has existed since October 2004. The 14 great days in summer are interesting: "Eckardtsheim - right in the middle!" with art exhibitions, concerts, sports and the "beer garden at the leisure center" - every day with a stage program. The Christmas market on the second weekend in Advent is also worth seeing.
In 2005 Eckardtsheim received a special prize in the competition "Our village has a future"; the award honored the path from an institution to a village with community and private commitment.[1]
In 2007 Eckardtsheim was 125 years old. The motto of the festival year was "125 years of Eckardtsheim - moving together".
10 years later in July 2017 the 135th anniversary was started with a day of celebration. The event began with a service at Gut Wilhelmsdorf accompanied by the trombone choir. From there the congregation went in one train to the church, where the second part of the service took place, this time with music from the church choir. The train was accompanied by tractors with self-designed trailers. The background was that Wilhemsdorf, originally a workers' colony for addicts, is the oldest part of Eckardtsheim. After the service and lunch together in the open air, the procession continued and stopped again and again at historical places, where individual scenes depicting the history of the village were played. The scenes were musically supported by the church choir and the trombone choir. The latter played folk songs while moving from place to place by one of the followers.
