Until 1806 the room existed Heepen the Bailiwick Heepen in office Sparrenberg the county Ravensberg , which since the 17th century to Brandenburg-Prussia belonged. As a large and important bailiwick, the bailiwick of Heepen had a bailiff at its head and was therefore also referred to as the district bailiff or office in contemporary representations .

During the Napoleonic period , the Bailiwick or the Heepen office became the Heepen canton in the Bielefeld district of the Kingdom of Westphalia . Two municipalities were established in the canton of Heepen in 1808 . The first municipality comprised the villages of Heepen , Hillegossen , Altenhagen , Elverdissen and Sieker , the Niedermühle, Lübrassen and Milse estates and part of the Eckendorf estate . The second municipality comprised the villages of Stieghorst , Brönninghausen , Oldentrup , Ubbedissen , Lippe , Lämershagen , Graefinghagen and Heepen-Senne . Heepen-Senne, to the south of the Teutoburg Forest , which later became the municipality of Senne II, was reclassified to the canton of Brackwede in 1812 by decree of the King of Westphalia . At the same time, Milse was reclassified to the canton of Schildesche and the division of the canton of Heepen into two municipalities was repealed.

After the end of the French era , the Ravensberger Land fell back to Prussia in 1813. As part of a major administrative reform , Prussia was divided into newly established provinces , administrative districts and districts . In 1816, the district of Bielefeld was formed in the administrative district of Minden in the province of Westphalia , which, apart from Elverdissen, which came to the district of Herford , also included the area of ​​the canton of Heepen. In the period that followed, the canton of Heepen was referred to as the Mayor's Office Heepen or the municipality of Heepen . With the introduction of the Westphalian State Municipal Code finally Heepen in November 1843 from the old Canton or the municipality, the official Heepen . Now the individual villages and peasant communities were also constituted as independent communities. The Heepen office initially consisted of the following nine municipalities:

In 1893 the community of Milse was reclassified from the neighboring Schildesche to the Heepen. In 1930 there was an extensive municipal reorganization. Sieker, Stieghorst and parts of the communities Heepen and Oldentrup left the Heepen office and were incorporated into Bielefeld . At the same time, the community of Brake came from the dissolved Schildesche Amt to Heepen. In 1965 Brake gave an area in the Baumheide area to the city of Bielefeld.

As part of the municipal reorganization of the Bielefeld area , all municipalities of the office were incorporated into Bielefeld on January 1, 1973 and the office was dissolved. The legal successor was the enlarged city of Bielefeld. Most recently, the Heepen office belonged to nine municipalities:
