The Datteln office was an office in the Recklinghausen district in North Rhine-Westphalia until 1964 .

history

As part of the introduction of the rural community code for the province of Westphalia , the Datteln district was founded in 1844 in the Recklinghausen district , consisting of the three communities Ahsen , Datteln and Flaesheim . The office was initially administered by a joint bailiff in personal union with the neighboring Waltrop office, before the two offices were finally separated in 1857. After the dissolution of the neighboring Recklinghausen office in 1926, the municipality of Oer-Erkenschwick was incorporated into the Datteln office. Datteln received town charter in 1936 and Oer-Erkenschwick in 1953.

With effect from January 1, 1965, the Datteln office was dissolved. The cities of Datteln and Oer-Erkenschwick as well as the communities Ahsen and Flaesheim became vacant. On January 1, 1975, Ahsen was incorporated into the city of Datteln and Flaesheim into the city of Haltern through the Ruhr Area Act .

coat of arms

Coat of arms of Amt Datteln
 Blazon : "In black diagonally left divided by two silver (white) wavy threads, above a silver (white) ring and below a silver (white) left-slanted oak leaf."
Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms approved by the North Rhine-Westphalian Minister of the Interior in 1957 shows in the colors of Kurköln , as a reminder of the earlier affiliation to Vest Recklinghausen which belonged to the Archdiocese of Cologne until the Bull Pius VII. "De salute animarum", after which it was incorporated into the Monastery of Münster . The ring stands for dates and comes from the influential Vrydach von Datteln family. The two wavy threads symbolize the location of the office on Lippe , Wesel-Datteln-Canal and Dortmund-Ems-Canal . The oak leaf stands for Oer-Erkenschwick and is also intended as a symbol for agriculture and forestry.
