history

On April 1, 1910, Espelkamp was spun off from Großendorf and became an independent municipality in the Rahden district . The district Espelkamp-Mittwald is developing rapidly on the remains of an army ammunition plant. When Espelkamp-Mittwald (today Espelkamp Center area) was granted town charter in 1959, the term Alt-Espelkamp or Dorf-Espelkamp became established for the rest of the Espelkamp area. However, the village of Espelkamp and Espelkamp-Mittwald together form the town of Espelkamp in the Rahden district. With 3,756 votes against 234, the population of Espelkamp decided against separating Alt-Espelkamp from the city of Espelkamp in 1960. In 1966 Espelkamp became vacant and was significantly enlarged in the course of the regional reform on January 1, 1973. Since then, Alt-Espelkamp has been part of the city of Espelkamp under the name Altgemeinde Espelkamp (according to the main statute).
