coat of arms
 |
Blazon : "In gold (yellow) a red bar at the top accompanied by two and at the bottom by a red rose with yellow (golden) lugs and green sepals." |
| Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms was awarded on February 29, 1956 by the North Rhine-Westphalian Minister of the Interior. The colors gold and red are those of the bishopric of Münster and at the same time those of the Lords of Münster, who held Botzlar Castle in the Selmer district for a long time, and the Counts of Cappenberg . The roses come from the coat of arms of the imperial baron Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom und zum Stein , who acquired Cappenberg Castle in 1816 |
Communities
Parishes in the mid-19th century
When it was established, the Bork office was divided as follows:
- Bork municipality
- with the farmers of Altenbork , Hassel , Netteberge and Uebbenhagen
- Selm municipality
- with the farmers of Beifang , Ondrup , Ternsche and Westerfelde
- community Altlünen
- with the districts of Alstedde, Nordlünen and Wethmar
Changes
In the course of time, the name of the Borker farming community Uebbenhagen was replaced more and more by the name Cappenberg . The reason for this was Cappenberg Castle on the edge of this peasantry. Over time, Cappenberg became a separate district.
Over time, the Borker farming community in Hassel lost its character as a farming community.
The Selmer farmers by catch became a separate district in the 19th century with the establishment of the Hermann colliery with its colliery settlement.

Trivia
Initially, all houses in the Bork office had village or peasantry numbers. For example, the addresses were originally Dorf 26 or Ternsche 17. When the street names were introduced, they were included in the address. The house numbers were kept. So, for example, the address Dorf 26 became Ludgeristraße 26 and Beifang 87 became Breite Straße 87. In the identity cards, however, there was still Beifang 87. This system existed in the entire office with the exception of the colliery settlement in Beifang. These were numbered according to today's standards. There, however, Buddenbergstrasse was again an exception.
In the mid-1960s, the houses in the entire office were renumbered with the exception of the colliery settlement in Beifang. All were given blue signs with white numbers. A curiosity arose here in Altlünen. For example, while the Lüner numbering was observed and continued on Borker Strasse and Cappenberger Strasse, this was not the case with Münsterstrasse in Wethmar. You started again with 1 and 2 ff.
When the buildings in the Beifanger colliery settlement were sold in half, all the buildings there were given new house numbers. They wanted to prevent the allocation of a large number of house numbers with a supplementary letter a . In addition, the addresses were changed if the house entrance was on the neighboring street. Only the colliery houses on Kreisstrasse were excluded from this action.
