The neighbouring Detmold villages are, in a clockwise direction, Bentrup, Loßbruch, Klüt, Jerxen-Orbke and Niewald. Oettern-Bremke was probably in the 13th century, like the neighbouring villageos of Nienhagen and Niewald, founded as a Hagenhufendorf. The name Oettern comes from otters, that presumably lived in the nearby stream of the same name: Oetternbach. Bremke was mentioned as Bredenbeke in old documents dated 1322 and 1507.[1]
Around 153 villagers live in Oettern-Bremke on an area of 3.2 km² (as of August 2006). The current village chairman is Bernd Moritz (SPD), the representative in the Detmold town council is Wolfgang Köster (SPD).[2]
