"About the village of Born:
Small hamlet with old farms, approx. 100 inhabitants. Born belonged to the old property of the Counts of Schwalenberg, who donated their goods to the monastery in the 13th century. The chapel dedicated to the Mother of God with the motto "Help of Christians" was built in 1884.

Born is the second smallest district of the city of Marienmünster and is located between Kollerbeck and Sommersell near the Lippe border. The place used to be called Elbrachtessen, Elbrachtessen, Elbrosen, Elbrexen, Elbrexter Born and belonged to the old property of the Counts of Schwalenberg and, in a branch line, the Counts of Pyrmont, who donated or sold their local goods to the Marienmünster monastery in the 13th century. In 1309 they donated the remaining possessions to the Marienmünster monastery.

After many disputes between the lords of Oeynhausen as pledgees of the Oldenburg and the Marienmünster monastery, the Schnat border of the field marks of the Oldenburg and Elbrachtessen was fixed in 1515. After another comparison between the same parties in 1554, the farmers had to do their compulsory labor half on the Oldenburg and half on the monastery estate. The place was first mentioned in 1541 as Born. In the Pyrmonter Lehnbriefe for the Oeynhausen in 1565 there is the place name Borun with the field to Elbrechtsen, so that Born could have been created instead of the old village of Elbrechtsen.

In the 17th and 18th centuries there was an unrelenting conflict with the Marienmünster monastery over the Schafhude in the Bornsche Feldmark. The dispute, which dragged on for almost 100 years, was finally decided on July 2, 1774 by the royal secular court and provincial court in Paderborn after going through many court instances. This dispute is an example of the existential difficulties farmers faced at the time and how they depended on every piece of arable land for cultivation and after the harvest for grazing the cattle. ..."

"... The people of Born turned against, among other things, the sole sheep hude by the Marienmünster monastery in the Bornsche Felde and the plowing of fields outside of the usual times, which the Borners could no longer graze on. The Borners gave their claims a sometimes violent character and took monastery sheep as a pledge several times.

Even though Borner's manner was reprimanded in the dispute and regarded as illegal and although she did not use legal counsel, not least for reasons of cost, her request was nevertheless successful. The people of Born were legally allowed to herd their cattle in their field mark from Martini onwards and also to operate the so-called Greventeich, which is located there and belongs to the Marienmünster monastery, with their cattle. For today's understanding, it must be noted that at that time there was a communal pasture that was only used as a dog, and all other areas of forest, fields and meadows were allowed to be herded at certain times. The Waldhude lasted until acorn maturity. The privately owned meadows and fields could only be walked on until May 1st or 15th (Vorhude) and in autumn the Nachhude, also called Stoppelhude, usually began on September 1st. The fallow land, on the other hand, could be used as a drift all year round. Paddocks for sheep, goats or cattle and sometimes for pigs were regularly set up on the fallow land.

After secularization, the monastery courtyard with the Bornholze came into the possession of the Bornsche farmers and the local community. At the end of 1817, a secondary customs office was set up in Born to collect customs on the border with the Principality of Lippe, but this was already abandoned on December 12, 1918 "because of the bad roads". In 1884, the inhabitants of Born built a chapel on the parish property, which they placed under the protection of the Virgin Mary. Born has remained a small village with old, loosely built farmhouses and a mighty stock of trees. The large farmsteads and characteristic buildings still determine the village atmosphere today."
