FRILLE is a village located about 5 miles northeast of the city of Minden, in modern Germany. It lies east of the Weser River. It is a small community; perhaps a mile across.

Human artifacts have been found in the area that date back as far as 5,000 years!

Saxons probably from what is now southern Denmark, began to occupy the area in circa 400 AD. It was not long and the whole area became completely Saxon.

Frille was the seat of an old Saxon independent "Peoples Council"!

In 1168 AD, Frille was mentioned for the first time in an official document.

The village of FRILLE is located on the map below (scanned from a 1912 Schaumburg-Lippe Kreis map). It is located on the border between Prussia (blue line) and Schaumburg-Lippe (red line). "Pn Frille" is located in Prussia (then) and the main part of the town (plus the church) are located on the Schaumburg-Lippe side. Not the + indicators on some of the town dots. These indicated the parish churches, which were almost always Lutheran churches in Schaumburg-Lippe.
