Etymology
Attested since the late 12th century.
From de gml sīk from de gmw-pro *sīk watercourse, sitch; sodden lowland, as we know this stem from many other placenames, to denote de Siek (Niederung) well-moisturized low grounds. The identity of the ending is not without doubt, due to vowel reduction.
Incorporated into Bielefeld in 1930, not having any recognizable transition to the city’s historical core, in the course of its expansion and urbanization of the surrounding area.
