history

The secularization after the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 led to the dissolution of the Principality of Münster . The eastern part of the Münsterland including the city of Münster fell to the Kingdom of Prussia and formed the hereditary principality of Münster in this . Furthermore, on December 23, 1803, the districts of Warendorf, Beckum , Lüdinghausen and Münster were established. In the district of Warendorf, an office Harsewinkel was set up on January 1, 1804 , to which the Wigbold Harsewinkel, the parish Harsewinkel with the farmers Beller, Rheda, Überems, Oester, Remse and the Hovesaat of the abolished Marienfeld monastery belonged. From now on, Wigbold Harsewinkel was allowed to call himself Stadt Harsewinkel. By royal cabinet order on July 6, 1804, the farmers Oester and Remse as well as the Hovesaat of the monastery are combined to form the political municipality of Marienfeld. This restored the condition before the monastery was founded in 1185. The first office building was in Marienfeld, because that's where the first mayor, Wilhelm Anton Linzen, comes from. The Harsewinklers were annoyed because they would have preferred the mayor in Harsewinkel.

In 1806 the Münsterland was occupied by Napoleon and in 1808 it was assigned to the Grand Duchy of Berg . A completely new administrative structure based on the French model was created. The Harsewinkel office became the Mairie or mayor's office Harsewinkel , which belonged to the canton of Sassenberg in the arrondissement or the Münster district in the Ems department . From 1811 to 1813, the canton of Sassenberg belonged to the Ruhr department of the Grand Duchy of Berg.

After the end of the French era , the Münsterland fell back to Prussia, which created the province of Westphalia on January 1, 1816 . Within the province, the administrative district of Münster was formed, which was divided into a total of ten districts . The mayor's office in Harsewinkel was henceforth part of the new Warendorf district . In 1820, Greffen was separated from the Sassenberg mayor and added to the Harsewinkel mayor. Thus the area of ​​the mayor's office coincided with the manorial power of the former monastery.

During the introduction of the rural community-order for the province of Westphalia in 1844 from the mayor Harsewinkel the Office Harsewinkel formed. The office was composed of the city of Harsewinkel and the parishes of the parishes of Harsewinkel , Greffen and Marienfeld.

In 1937 the parish of Harsewinkel parish was incorporated into the town of Harsewinkel. As part of the Bielefeld Act , on January 1, 1973, Harsewinkel, Greffen and Marienfeld were merged to form a new town of Harsewinkel, which was simultaneously reclassified into the East Westphalian district of Gütersloh .
