history
Archaeological finds show that the Ochtrup, Langenhorst and Welbergen region was inhabited as early as the Neolithic . An Old Saxon possession is also considered certain.
"Ohtepe" (the eastern Epe or Ostepe) was first mentioned in 1143 in a deed of the Clarholz monastery . The place is mentioned as a parish in 1203 for the first time. The place already had a baptistery in Franconian times and formed a parish with the western, Easter and wine farmers . In the years 1593/94 Ochtrup received a city fortification with a rampart, a wide moat and three city gates. In 1597 Ochtrup received the market rights. In addition, Ochtrup was raised to the rank of a so-called " wigbold ". The city fortifications, however, did not offer secure protection: Ochtrup was sacked by the Spaniards in 1595 and 1598. But not only the Spanish-Dutch War of Succession, the trains of Bernhard von Galen and the Thirty Years War from 1618 to 1648 have badly affected the town center. It was not until 1820 that the city gates were demolished and at the turn of the century the ramparts were removed and designed as a green area. Today the street names Nordwall, Ostwall and Westwall remind of this. A basic or raid weir has been preserved on the Siegfried Line , this water bear is called the Stüwwenkopp .
The “Pottbäckerei” is as old as Ochtrup is. This is proven by the found clay vessels (urns) whose age is estimated by specialist science to be 3000 years. As an independent manual occupation, independent of the exclusive production of earthenware vessels for their own household use, which had been practiced until then, it only appeared when a large part of the arable citizens settling in the village began to operate the "pottery" for gain and with made pottery to act. The "pot bakery" flourished. The Ochtruper Pöttker was a welcome trader and Ochtrup became the "Pottbäckerland". Earthen bowls, nibbling bowls, plates, bowls, oil jars and oil jugs were made and offered for sale, but especially the seven-eyed and the famous Ochtrup nightingale , children's toys. As in the old Wigbold of the 17th and 18th centuries, a pottery could be found in almost every house or behind it in a small annex, the street scene of that time is also the Ochtruper Kiepenkerl with a fully packed box, boots and weatherproof clothing, in blue Striding smock, indispensable. He was known throughout the Münsterland, deep into the Hanoverian and Dutch. Around 1800 there were still well over 20 potteries in Ochtrup.
Cotton weaving made its entrance in the 19th century. Around 1850 there were around 500 house weavers in the village and the neighboring farmers. These were dependent on individual companies that supplied the material, accepted the finished goods and set the wages. In 1854 the merchants Anton and Bernhard Laurenz founded the hand weaving mill A. and B. Laurenz at Bergstrasse 58, later widely known as the Laurenz brothers . Under the direction of the two sons Hermann (* 1829) and Heinrich (* 1834) there was a significant economic boom. By 1930, 330 workers 'and civil servants' apartments, the Marienhospiz with daughter's school and kindergartens had been built. After the Second World War , in the 1950s and 1960s, the Gebr. Laurenz company had over 4,000 employees at both locations in Ochtrup and Epe.
On October 1, 1890, the community was re-formed through the merger of the previous communities Wigbold Ochtrup and parish Ochtrup . In 1949 the city charter was reassigned. On July 1, 1969, Langenhorst and Welbergen were incorporated.
Between November 25 and 30, 2005, the city was complete for several days, later partly without electricity and made headlines across the country. The power failure was triggered by a massive onset of winter, when the high-voltage lines between Gronau and Ochtrup were excessively iced up due to heavy snowfall and winds. Due to the weight, the cables hung up to a few meters above the ground. Dozens of electricity pylons buckled. Emergency power generators from all over Germany were operated around the clock by hundreds of voluntary helpers. Nonetheless, there was enormous financial damage - especially in animal husbandry and production losses in other commercial operations. In the media, the responsible energy supplier RWE and independent experts argued about whether Ochtrup's exclusively above-ground power supply had been adequately maintained in previous years. RWE excluded all liability, but set up an aid fund of five million euros for the affected region. Nationwide media described this incident as the Münsterland snow chaos or the "most momentous power failure in post-war history".

Partnerships
The city of Ochtrup has had a partnership with the Spanish city of Valverde del Camino since 1991 . Since September 2010, the city of Ochtrup has had another partnership with the Polish city of Wieluń . It is from the school partnership of the municipal high school Ochtrup with the Liceum Ogólnoksztatace im. Tadeusza Kosciuski emerged. In September 2011, the town twinning was sealed with the northern French city of Estaires , which is also a school partnership of the town. High school emerged. In addition, a city friendship with the Dutch Lichtenvoorde ( senior citizens' meeting ) was maintained until a few years ago , but this has come to a standstill since a territorial reform in the Netherlands, due to which Lichtenvoorde lost its independence.
In addition to the urban partnerships, the schools have partnerships with schools in Europe and the United States.

flag and emblem
The Ochtrup city coat of arms shows in a red field on green ground a silver lamb of God carrying a silver flag with a red cross, to the left behind the lamb there is a green herbaceous plant. The symbol described is an old tradition from the year 1696. The oldest seal still in the possession of the city of Ochtrup with the inscription "Stadt Ochtrup 1696" comes from this year. The seal shows the Christian symbol "Lamb of God". In 1963, the city of Ochtrup was given permission by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia to display a banner and a flag.
Religions
Christianity
The parish, separated from the original parish Wettringen, included the village of Ochtrup, the western, Easter and wine farmers. The first documentary mention of a parish in Ochtrup comes from the year 1203. The Münster bishop Hermann II transferred the archdeaconate over Ochtrup to the Langenhorst monastery that year . The parishes of Ochtrup, Wettringen and Langenhorst were subordinated to the abbess of the Langenhorst monastery. The church itself is certainly older. During the Christianization by Charlemagne , many Saxons were evacuated and Franks who had already been baptized were settled mainly in the main and upper courts. The old baptismal font in St. Lamberti probably dates from this time around 850 , possibly indicating that this church has also been the baptismal church since the time of St. Ludgerus. The patron saint of the church, St. Lambertus, could also be an indication of an older date.
In the second half of the 16th century, Protestant teaching spread temporarily in Ochtrup. In 1599 a city fire destroyed 53 houses and the church. Today's Lambertikirche is a neo-Gothic church that was built at the end of the 19th century.
Due to the strong industrial development of Ochtrup since the end of the 19th century, as well as the influx of refugees after 1945, the number of Catholics rose sharply from 6300 in 1901 to 11,500 in 1949. As a result, a second church building in the south on the Horst was necessary. With the establishment of an independent pastoral rectorate in 1953, the southern part of the city with the winegrowers was separated from St. Lamberti. The elevation of the Marienkirche and the rectorate to parish church and parish took place in 1955.
On November 27, 2007, the previously independent Catholic parishes of the city of Ochtrup, St. Lamberti, St. Marien, St. Johannes (Langenhorst) and St. Dionysius (Welbergen) merged to form the new parish of St. Lambertus. This has around 15,000 believers. The Lamberti Church, consecrated in 1873, was designated as the parish church of the newly founded community. The three other churches became so-called subsidiary churches , in which services continue to take place regularly and in which a separate community life is continued.
There is also a Protestant parish in Ochtrup, an amalgamation of the city of Ochtrup, the municipality of Metelen and the farmers of Brechte . Due to the rapid development of the textile company Laurenz into a leading company in Germany, the Ochtrup population could not provide enough workers. Workers from all parts of Germany and the Netherlands, including the first “Evangelicals”, came to work in the purely Catholic Ochtrup. The first services were celebrated in private apartments, restaurants and the waiting room at the train station. It was not until 1891 that a separate parish hall was built on a plot of land on today's Bahnhofsstraße. On April 1, 1895, the Protestant parish of Ochtrup became independent. Before that, she was cared for by the Evangelical Reformed Congregation in Gronau . The foundation stone for the first church building took place on September 3, 1911. After three years of construction, it was inaugurated on June 29, 1913. At first the church remained without a tower. The tower with three bells, which still exists today, followed in 1933. In the 1930s, the Protestant community shrank as a result of the poor income opportunities. The pastor's office was moved back to Gronau in 1928. A permanent assistant preacher was sent to Ochtrup, but limited independence remained. After the Second World War, the community grew to around 2500 people due to war expellees, mainly from Silesia. As a result, the Ochtrup community regained its full independence. The church was extended in 1953, so a new aisle and a sacristy were built on the left.
There are the following churches in Ochtrup:
- Catholic parish St. Lambertus consisting of:
- St. Lamberti (Catholic - parish church, city center)
- St. Marien (Catholic - branch church, city center)
- St. Johannes Baptist (Catholic - Filialkirche, Langenhorst)
- St. Dionysius (Catholic - Filialkirche, Welbergen)
- Evangelical Church (Protestant, city center)
Judaism
Until 1938 the city of Ochtrup also had a small Jewish community with its own prayer house. This was on the ground floor of a residential building on Kniepenkamp. Under the rule of the National Socialists , almost all Jews in Ochtrup were also forced to flee, expelled and murdered. The prayer house was completely devastated by an arson attack on the night of the Reichspogrom in 1938. A memorial stone reminds of this today. There is also the Jewish cemetery on Hellstiege. The oldest tombstone there is dated to 1824. The last burial took place in this cemetery in 1990.
Culture and sights
Stumbling blocks
Since August 2007, so-called “ stumbling blocks ” in the city center of Ochtrup have been a reminder of the families who were persecuted and deported by the Nazi regime and finally died. The stones were laid by the Cologne sculptor Gunter Demnig , who is already in charge of similar projects in more than 50 other cities.
The money for the stones is from Ochtrup citizens. The words "Here lived" and underneath the name, year and fate of the person concerned are stamped into the brass tablet of the stone. Made in this way indelible, the font is a permanent reminder of those persecuted by the Nazi regime who lost their lives due to their origin, religion, sexual orientation or political convictions.
Museums
- Pottery Museum
- The Ochtrup nightingale is a special piece of pottery that has been widely known for centuries . This vessel flute can be used to produce sounds that are similar to the chirping of songbirds.

Historical buildings
Numerous structures are distributed over the entire urban area of Ochtrup. They reflect a long historical development of the former pottery and textile city.
Villa Winkel
The villa was built in 1899 during the historicist era in the Dutch Renaissance style according to plans by the architect Hubert Holtmann for Anton Laurenz. The building served not only as a residence for the industrial family Laurenz, but also to accommodate business partners and guests of the Laurenz brothers . The lavish and large Art Nouveau windows and the winter garden are particularly striking. The villa is surrounded by an eleven hectare park with valuable trees. The site was acquired by the city of Ochtrup in 1969. Today, the park is freely accessible to the people of Ochtrup and serves as an inner-city recreation center. Today the villa houses the office of the adult education center and an old people's meeting place.
Former office building
The lack of space in the Weichbild was certainly the reason that the Amthaus (town hall) was not built in the center, but at the Bülttor of the city of Ochtrup. The building was built in 1898 in a neo-renaissance and Dutch style. The first head of administration at the time was bailiff Schumann. Today the former office building at Bültstraße 19 houses the social welfare office of the city administration of Ochtrup.
Stüwwenkopp
The water bear, which serves as a dam, is called Stüwwenkopp in Ochtrup . It is the last structural remnant of the Ochtrup city fortifications from 1593. Today it is located on the city's Siegfried Line, surrounded by a fountain.
Lamberti Church
Marienkirche
The Catholic Church of St. Mary of the Assumption of the once independent parish of St. Mary, designed by the important architect Dominikus Böhm , was built in 1952/1953. Your church windows were designed by the artist Hubertus Brouwer, who is well known beyond Ochtrup. Its interior is shaped by a unique tent character. The exterior of the building, popularly known as the Marienkirche, is a listed building.
Beltman Construction
The Beltman Building is the former administration building of the Laurenz company (textile works) and was planned and built in 1893 based on the design of the Dutch architect Gerrit Beltman from Enschede based on the palace buildings of the Dutch Renaissance .
However, the building lost its use after the van Delden company took over the textile business, and since then this building has been used very little. The current owner is Hütten Holding, which renovated the building and integrated it into its DOC (formerly EOC and FOC ). The FOC was completed and opened on August 30, 2012. The Beltman building is an important example of historicism and is a listed building . The information center of the shopping center is located in the tower of the building, which was used as a warehouse at the time of the van Delden company.
Böhm circular building
The Böhm'sche Rundbau was used as a storage building for textiles from the beginning of the Laurenz company history up to 2001. It was built by the Cologne architect Dominikus Böhm in 1942. After 2001, the Böhm'sche rotunda was redesigned into an outlet store. The Böhm circular building is a listed building and is a striking feature of the city of Ochtrup (in connection with the Beltman building).

Economy and Infrastructure
The town of Ochtrup has been a pottery town of particular value for the region since the 16th century. From the end of the 18th century the textile industry also settled. The first weaving mill of the respected Laurenz family from Ochtrup, which was founded in 1854, existed until 2011 under the name “Ochtruper Textilveredlung” (OTV). The listed production halls of the company have been used as a shopping center for textiles since April 16, 2004. Ochtrup is Volksbank Ochtrup resident. In Ochtrup there is the Designer Outlet Ochtrup on Laurenzstraße with an area of more than 11,500 m², which ensures a supraregional stream of visitors in the small town (currently more than 1 million visitors per year).
