LEMGO

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 411 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LEMGO , a town of Germany, in the principality of Lippe, in a broad and fertile plain, 9 M. N. from Detmold and on the railway Hameln-Lage. Pop. (1900) 884o. Its somewhat gloomy aspect, enhanced by the tortuous narrow lanes flanked by gabled houses of the 15th century, has gained for it among countryfolk the sobriquet of the " Witches' nest " (Hexen-Nest). It is replete with
interest
  for the antiquarian. It has four Evangelical churches, two with curiously leaning, lead-covered spires; an old town-
hall
 ; a gymnasium; and several philanthropic and religious institutions. Among the latter is the Jungfrauenstift, of which a princess of the reigning
house
  of Lippe-Detmold has always been lady superior since 1306. The
chief
  industry of Lemgo is the manufacture of meerschaum pipes, which has attained here a high pitch of excellence; other
industries
  are weaving, brewing and the manufacture of leather and cigars. The town was a member of the Hanseatic league.
