history

House Woord in Bocholt, seat of the retirement master Joseph von Raesfeld

The Bocholt office was removed from the Münster office on the Brahm in the 14th century . It consisted of the town of Bocholt and the parish Bocholt ( Bauerschaften Barlo , Biemenhorst , Eikingheide, shirts , Herzebocholt , Holtwick , songs , Lowick , Mussum , Spork , Stenern and Suderwick ), the parishes Dingden (Bauerschaften village Mountain Lankans and North Brock) and Rhede ( farmers' associations Altrhede , Krommert , Krechting and Vardingholt ) and - since 1709 - the city of Werth . The management of the office was in the hands of Drosten , most recently Friedrich Clemens von Elverfeldt called Beverförde zu Werries , and the office pension master , most recently Joseph von Raesfeld (1757-1823). Even after the dissolution of the Münster bishopric, the Bocholt office remained. Only after the annexation of the Principality of Salm by the French Empire was the Bocholt office dissolved in 1811 as part of the introduction of the French administrative structure ( municipality ). The canton Bocholt with the Mairien Anholt, Bocholt, Dingden, Liedern and Rhede was created in place of the Bocholt office . In 1809 there were 12,805 inhabitants in the Bocholt office.
