history
The first written mention of the aristocratic residence Haus an der Aa dates from around 1030. Around 1120, Bernhard von Diepenheim had Ahaus Castle built around where Ahaus Castle is today . In 1154 his son Lifhard first called himself by the name of Ahaus . The Lords of Ahaus belonged to the smaller noble families in Westphalia in the wider vicinity of the Münster bishops. They got into a dispute with them in 1176 when the nobleman Johann von Ahaus gave his castle to the Archbishop of Cologne as a fief . In 1177, however, Johann had to submit to Prince-Bishop Hermann II of Münster . The Ahaus and Diepenheim castles belonging to the noble lords of Ahaus were destroyed. Nevertheless, the noble lords initially remained in possession of their rule.
In 1389 the noblemen of Ahaus granted the castle settlement an excise privilege. Two years later, Ahaus received city rights . In 1406, the Prince-Bishop of Münster Otto IV von Hoya bought the Ahaus estate and incorporated it into the Münster bishopric . It was grouped together with 24 parishes, which stretched over large parts of the Westmünsterland, to the Amt Ahaus by the Duchy of Münster . It was in place until it was dissolved by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss in 1803.
The visit of the Prince-Bishop of Münster Christoph Bernhard von Galen to Ahaus was dated October 4th 1650 . At his instigation, the first German faience manufacture was founded in Ahaus in 1653 , but closed again in 1657. In 1688, at the instigation of Prince-Bishop Friedrich Christian von Plettenberg, the old castle was demolished. The new building in the form of a baroque moated castle was carried out according to the plans of Ambrosius von Oelde and was completed in 1690. The entire complex with the associated garden area was not completed until 1718. The first modernization of the castle dates from 1763 to 1767 under the direction of Johann Conrad Schlaun . In the course of the modernization, the garden-side center risalit and the garden stairs were created.
In 1803, the rule and castle of Ahaus fell to the princes of Salm-Salm and Salm-Kyrburg ( Principality of Salm ) through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . After brief membership of France (1810 to 1813; during this time France had annexed the Principality of Salm), the city came under Prussian rule in 1815 .
In 1819 Hermann Oldenkott built a tobacco factory in Ahaus Castle. In 1829 the company acquired the baroque palace from Prince Salm-Kyrburg . It served as a production facility until 1929 and as a residence for the Oldenkott family until it was completely destroyed in World War II . In 1949 it was rebuilt by the district and town of Ahaus.
The city fire of October 13, 1863 almost completely destroyed the city.
In 1881 an ignition goods factory was founded. Two years later, the Westphalian jute spinning and weaving mill was founded. In 1886 the jute factory built its workers' settlement , the colony and what is now the city of Oldenburg. It originated in a part of that peasantry Ammeln . The name Oldenburg leads back to the old field name Ollenburg .
In 1980 the “Ahaus meeting point” opened in the center of Ahaus. This housed an ice rink, which was used by the ice hockey club ESC Ahaus as a training and venue. In the following years, the first team of the club became known nationwide due to their performance and played u. a. in the Ice Hockey NRW League , in the Ice Hockey Regionalliga West and in the Ice Hockey Oberliga Nord . In 1991, the ESC Ahaus dissolved after the operation of the ice rink in Ahaus had to be discontinued for financial reasons.
The city of Ahaus gained national recognition through the resistance of the citizens' initiative No atomic waste in Ahaus e. V. (BI Ahaus) and many other groups against the construction and operation of the controversial Ahaus transport cask storage facility and the associated transports of nuclear waste .
Incorporations
In the course of the municipal reorganization, the Wüllen office (consisting of the municipalities of Wüllen and Ammeln) was dissolved on July 1, 1969 and Wüllen and Ammeln were incorporated into the town of Ahaus. On January 1, 1975, triggered by the Münster / Hamm law , the municipalities of Alstätte, Ottenstein and Wessum (municipalities of the Wessum Office) were incorporated. The city lost the district seat to Borken .
Population development

The decline in the population in 2011 is due to the redefinition of the population of Ahaus based on the EU-wide Census2011 census , a procedure in which it was determined how many people live in a city or municipality. The censorship date was May 9, 2011.
religion
St. Mary of the Assumption
Christ Church
The Catholic Church of St. Mary of the Assumption with the high bell tower is the dominant building on the market square in Ahaus. A church already stood here in the early days of Ahauser's history. In 1965 the old nave was demolished except for the late Gothic tower and the new church was built in its place according to a design by the architect Erwin Schiffer , Cologne. The view of the church building is dominated by grid-like concrete elements with colored glazing (design by Georg Meistermann ). Robert Gernhardt wrote the poem St. Horten in Ahaus about the new building , which refers to a superficial similarity between the architecture of the church and the grid facades of the contemporary new buildings of the department store company Horten AG .
The Christ Church on Wüllener Straße was built according to a design by the Berlin architect August Orth and was consecrated on September 17, 1879 as the first Protestant church in Ahaus. In March 1945 the church building was badly damaged by the effects of the war, after which it was largely redesigned in 1954. Among other things, the bell tower was renewed and a new round window was built into the west gable of the nave.
St. Joseph
Ammelner Chapel
The Catholic Church of St. Josef was built in 1952 as a single-nave brick building with a straight choir closure. Inside is the old sandstone Way of the Cross, which originally belonged to the old, demolished Church of St. Mary of the Assumption.
The Ammelner Chapel is located on the eastern edge of the built-up area of the city. The small church was rebuilt in neo-Gothic style in 1881 after it burned down soon after it was first built in 1733.
The surviving Jewish cemetery is one of the last visible evidence of the Jewish community .
politics
City council
The city council of Ahaus has 42 elected members. The stipulated number for a city with a population between 30,001 and 50,000 is usually 44 councilors. By resolution of the city council, this number was reduced by two council members to 42. The council members are elected for a five-year term by local elections. Half of the council members are elected in constituencies, the other half by lists. The current term of office started in June 2014 and ends on October 31, 2020 due to transitional regulations .

- “Approach” by Piotr Sonnewend : This five-part sculpture with a total length of 13 meters is set up on a lawn between the town hall and the Protestant church. Granite and copper are the contrasting materials, two of which each approach the high central sculpture. The sculpture is a symbolic representation of people approaching from both sides of a border.
- “Brunnen (Fontein)” by Bonifatius Stirnberg : In contrast to the mostly abstract works of art on the art route, the design by the Aachen artist remains in figurative, objective representations. Farmer's wife, wooden shoemaker and other craft trades, but also the Ahauser Wasserfräulein, with their flexible limbs, particularly appeal to children to make contact with the figures shown.
Attractions
The baroque moated castle Ahaus is located directly in the city center of Ahaus. The former residential palace of the Prince-Bishops of Münster was built in 1690 as a hunting lodge on the initiative of Prince-Bishop Friedrich Christian von Plettenberg according to the plans of Ambrosius von Oelde in place of an old castle. The construction work for the castle and the surrounding castle park was not completed until 1718 . During the Second World War , the castle was destroyed by an air raid in March 1945. After the war, the Ahaus district acquired the ruins and rebuilt the castle. Today the Ahaus Technical Academy as well as the gatehouse and school museum are housed in the castle.
The Villa van Delden in Bahnhofstrasse is a listed town house from the 19th century. The builder Jan van Delden was the owner of the jute spinning and weaving mill van Delden and had the neo-classical, white plastered two-storey villa built between 1890 and 1892. The villa has been owned by the city of Ahaus since 1989. Today it serves as a meeting place and venue for art exhibitions.
Directly at the St. Mary's Assumption Church in the city center of Ahaus is the 30 meter long fountain sculpture “Sources - Flowing - Sinking - Drinking” by Kalkmann Kontakt-Kunst, which the two sculptors carried out on site as part of a 2006 contact-art campaign Hans-Werner Kalkmann and Jens Kalkmann was created. Five black sienite steles donate water from spring pots, which runs off onto surfaces of different lengths made of red granite. The stele facing the market square gives the thirsty cyclist and everyone else refreshing drinking water when a sensor button is pressed. In the dark, the steles are illuminated by a fiber optic light guide system.
