Lonneker (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈlɔnəkər]) is a village in Twente, in the province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Enschede, about 3 km north of the city centre.
History
The village was first mentioned in the late 10th century as "in Loningheri", and means "settlement on a sandy ridge of the people of Lono (person)".[3] Lonneker is an esdorp which developed in the Early Middle Ages.[4]
The Catholic St. Jacobus de Meerdere was built between 1911 and 1912 as a replacement for the 1820 church.[4] Lonneker was home to 1,546 people in 1840.[5]
In 1811, five marke (predecessor of municipality) were split into the municipalities of Lonneker and Enschede. Lonneker used to encircle Enschede. In 1884, a part of the municipality was given to the city.[4] It remained an independent municipality until 1934, when it became part of Enschede.[6]
