 Amelsbueren in Münster
|
|
Amelsbüren is the southernmost district of Münster in Westphalia and is still strongly characterized by agriculture . It has 6,393 inhabitants.
Amelsbüren is geographically the largest district of Münster, as among other things the peasantry Sudhoff , Loevelingloh and Wilbrenning belong to the site. This means that extensive forest areas such as the Davert and Hohe Ward also belong to Amelsbüren.
history
First mentioned in a document in 1137 as Amuluncburen. The name is derived from bur (= home) and a personal name. The interpretation that is valid today is therefore "At the houses of the people of Amal (i) or Amalo".
After 1559 the place was plundered several times by the Dutch and Spaniards , in 1587 there was a battle in Amelsbüren between invading Spaniards and farmers from the Münsterland . After the victory, the peasants dispersed again and the Spaniards plundered Amelsbüren.
Amelsbüren may also have suffered from the Thirty Years' War , as it was located directly on an old military route.
After two devastating fires in 1716 and 1816, the village was completely rebuilt in 1825, essentially in its current form.
Until 1974 the village belonged to the Sankt Mauritz office , but after the dissolution of the Münster district as part of the regional reform in North Rhine-Westphalia on January 1, 1975, it was incorporated into the Hiltrup district .

coat of arms
Blazon : "In green a left-slanting silver arrow, accompanied above and below by an upright silver acorn."
The coat of arms awarded by the Minister of the Interior of North Rhine-Westphalia on October 28, 1965 shows the attribute of St. Sebastian , patron saint of the place, as well as the acorns, which refer to the Davert , a large forest area in the community.
Economy and Transport
The Federal Motorway 1 , also known as the Hansalinie, runs through the Amelsburen area. In the course of the development and marketing of the adjacent industrial and commercial area Hansa-BusinessPark and the six-lane motorway expansion, Münster's third junction to the north-south connection A1 was created here.
The development of the arable land on the outskirts of Münster near Amelsbüren into an industrial and commercial area resulted from plans by the city of Münster in 1993 to stockpile designated commercial and industrial areas for the purpose of further settlement of industrial companies, although in the industrial area Münster-Nord (Heroldstrasse ) At the beginning of the 1990s, 50% of the industrial areas were unused and were not fully used in 2016 either.
Initially, in the draft of the Münster zoning plan in 2010, 350 hectares of industrial land for 5,000 jobs were planned, which local farmers were to acquire as part of an urban development measure. Since this would have meant a purchase at the price of arable land, shortly after the plans became known, a citizens' initiative against the industrial area was founded, whose protests ultimately moved the city of Münster to reduce the area in the draft zoning plan to around 150 ha. In the 1994 local elections, the previously dominant CDU in the affected constituencies of Amelsbüren and Loevelingloh lost around 1/3 of their voters. For the first time after 1945, the SPD and the Greens had a majority of the council seats in the city council. In the planning process for the land use plan 2010, which lasted until 1998, the size of the industrial area was reduced to around 85 ha in the land use plan that was legally valid from 1999. The council politicians of the SPD and the Greens assured the local farmers that the urban development measure would be discontinued (and thus higher compensation). From 2000 onwards, the development plan began, against which the citizens' initiative sued with the help of those affected. The city of Münster then revised its development plan and removed the plaintiffs' areas from the planning area, so that their right to sue was no longer applicable. A complaint by the citizens' initiative before the Federal Administrative Court was also unsuccessful. The citizens' initiative against the industrial area dissolved in February 2016.
By 2005, a total of 83.6 hectares of previous arable and farmland had been purchased for the industrial area at a cost of EUR 8.68 million (excluding planning costs). One of the acquired farms - the Reifig farm, first mentioned in the 16th century - was demolished in 2004, and on August 1, 2006, the Wortmann farm. In 2009 the Wirtschaftsförderung Münster GmbH (WFM) started marketing the Hansa BusinessPark, which has a net usable area of 54 hectares. At the beginning of 2010, the management company Hermann Stroetmann GmbH & Co. KG acquired the first plot of land for a seed center from L. Stroetmann GmbH & Co. KG . A bakery with a bakery and a car shop with a workshop had been added by 2016.
Amelsbüren has a train station on the Preußen – Münster railway line , which is served hourly by RB50 Der Lüner between Münster, Werne, Lünen and Dortmund .
The Dortmund-Ems Canal runs through Amelsbüren, at km 57.5 there is a marina . On the opposite bank, the WFM, as the owner of the Hansa BusinessPark, operates a heavy lift cargo handling point where two heavy lift ships can dock one behind the other. The transshipment point was first used in July 2012 in connection with the construction of the A1 interchange.
The planning to expand the psychiatric Alexian hospital to include a forensic department in the peasantry in the west of Amelsbüren has given rise to controversial discussions among the village population .
In addition to shops for daily needs, the controversial animal testing laboratory Covance Inc. has its German headquarters in Amelsbüren, where it operates one of the largest laboratories in Europe (in the north of the municipality on the A43).
The People's Bank Amelsbüren existed until of 2019.
