Do you (or someone) have an idea about the origin of the town name
Borringhausen? I believe "Borring" is Danish in origin.
Bryan,
the origin of the name Borringhausen is not clear.
I found a notice about the farm Kruthaupt in Borringhausen:
im Jahre 1472 wird Hermann van Elmendorpe mit Moncken erve (Erbe) to tem Kruthope to Bernynkhusen belehnt.
You can see the name is changed over the years, no Danish.
