history

The first mention of Arrenkamp goes back to the year 1055: For this year it is mentioned that the Bishop Egilbert von Minden has a Vorewerch in Arnicambe . For the year 1222 it is documented that a knight Wulfried de Arnechamp appeared as a witness and two years later sold a feeble house in Arrenkamp to the Osnabrück Cathedral Chapter . The von Arnechamp family still existed in Arrenkamp around 1250. The families of Bastorps from Goreve from Gryp and the Vechta had at the beginning of the 14th century by the feudal possession of the diocese Minden country Arrenkamp as a fief . There is a reference to a 'Haddenburg' from the Minden canon Heinrich Tibbe from the 15th century . This Minden castle is said to have been near Arrenkamp. Around 1530, the Reformation spread in Arrenkamp as well .

In 1897 the Arrenkämper School, founded around 1760, was rebuilt and a cemetery was laid out. The first telephone connection in Arrenkamp dates back to 1902, that of the first electricity connection to 1911. During the First World War , a total of 32 prisoner-of-war soldiers from the Russian Empire came to Arrenkamp in 1915, who had to work for the farmers because all of the Arrenkamper men were housed 45 years were already drafted for military service. After the First World War and the November Revolution, a farmers' council was formed in Arrenkamp on February 5, 1919.

The Arrenkamp volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1935 and in 1938 acquired a used fire brigade hand pressure sprayer. However, this was still pulled by horses, so it was not motorized. The camp for emergency workers (unemployed men and young people), which was set up in a stable building in Arrenkamp in 1933, was laid by the rural service from 1937. In 1941, 50 French prisoners of war were assigned to work with the farmers in Arrenkamp and Haldem. The French were replaced by Soviet prisoners of war in early 1944. In addition, in the summer of 1942 some families from the Ukraine came to farmers in Arrenkamp to work for them. Because of the danger of bombing raids in the course of the Second World War , 21 city children were housed in Arrenkamp for eight weeks in 1940. From 1944 families from Gelsenkirchen , Münster and Recklinghausen came to Arrenkamp, ​​to whom refugees from the east came from 1945. There was no destruction caused by the dropping of Allied bombers in Arrenkamp. Only a few bombs fell and the empty petrol tanks that were dropped did no damage either. However, school operations were repeatedly affected by the air raid . On April 5, 1945, British units came through from Osnabrück towards Rahden .

In 1951, refugees from eastern Germany moved into the former prisoner of war camp. Arrenkamp finally got a fire station , which was built in 1951. Due to the school reform in North Rhine-Westphalia , the school in Arrenkamp was closed in August 1968. Since then, the young pupils have been attending the primary school in Haldem , while the older pupils attend the secondary school or secondary school in Wehdem or the grammar school in Rahden.

With the local reorganization , the municipality of Stemwede was created on January 1, 1973.

The postcode 4995 assigned since 1962 for the north-western part of the municipality of Stemwede was replaced on July 1, 1993 by the five-digit postcode 32351 for the entire municipality of Stemwede.
