Birgte is a small village at the north edge of the Teutoburger Forest in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia; as such it is part of the district of Riesenbeck which is itself part of the town of Hörstel. Its roots go back until 1800 BC as an old farming area. First known written mention of Birgte is dated 1088 AD when single farms dominated the area.
