geography

Warendorf is located on the Ems in the eastern Münsterland . This part of the Westphalian lowland bay is characterized by intensive, albeit relatively small-scale, agricultural use; Because of the varied appearance of fields , meadows , pastures , small forests and hedgerows , one speaks of the " Münsterland park landscape ".

The next big city is the Minster, about 30 km to the west . Other large cities in the vicinity are Osnabrück , about 40 km north, Bielefeld , about 45 km east, and Hamm , about 35 km south.

Since the municipal reorganization in 1975, Warendorf has consisted of five districts. In addition to the core town on both sides of the Ems, these are the districts of Milte and Eine / Müssingen in the north of the urban area, and Freckenhorst and Hoetmar in the south.

history

In the 9th century, the origin and name of Warendorf can be traced back to the ancient Saxon Oberhof Warantharpa ("The village on the embankment"), which probably existed before 700 AD. Warendorf became a town between 1197 and 1201. Around this time, in addition to the already existing parish, to which the "Old Church" (St. Laurentius) belongs, a second parish in the west of the city center with the "New Church" (St. Marien) was founded. However, as in Münster, there is no certificate of the granting of Münster city ​​rights in the medieval legal sense, as all documents and documents were destroyed during the rule of the Anabaptists . In particular, Bishop Hermann II von Katzenelnbogen (Bishop 1173-1202) contributed to the city's development.

In 1224 Warendorf was first mentioned in a document as a civitas, that is, as a civil-urban community. The prosperity of the Warendorfer grew steadily and the saying "City air makes you free" comes from this time. In 1255 it was joined to the Rhenish State Peace Federation to protect merchants from highwaymen. During this time, Warendorf developed more and more into an important trading town, because it is geographically conveniently located between Münster and Oelde . Warendorf also benefited from the production and trade in linen . The wealthy Warendorfer settled on the market square, in the Ems and on the Oststrasse. Even today, the Warendorf cityscape is shaped by this city backdrop. The poorer population, on the other hand, lived in simple houses with tamped clay floors, some of which were worse than the road surface. The poor living conditions led to epidemics and diseases.

In 1404 a city fire broke out in Warendorf, which in addition to 600 houses also destroyed the old church (St. Laurentius) and the town hall with all its inventory. A large wooden plaque in the town hall reminds of the town fire.

In 1533 an Anabaptist movement spread like in Münster in Warendorf. This took power in the city for a week in October 1534, until it was ended after a brief occupation by Bishop Franz von Waldeck . Four Anabaptist apostles and the Warendorf ringleaders were sentenced to death and judged by the sword in the market square. As a deterrent, the corpses of the "apostles" were placed on bikes at the four city gates. As a result, Warendorf lost its town charter and gradually regained it from 1542; the free election of the council only in 1556 under Bishop Franz's successor. The Anabaptist movement remained underground until the 17th century without endangering the city or the church.

Warendorf in 1616

Between 1627 and 1632 the town charter was lost again during the religious battles in the Thirty Years War . The fat market was first mentioned in 1657 . This market has remained an important fair to this day. In 1741 another big city fire broke out, which killed the New Church (St. Marien) and 332 houses. Due to the resulting departure of many craftsmen , Warendorf fell into increasing economic decline.

In 1802 Warendorf came under Prussian rule. The once prosperous city became impoverished. In 1826 the Westphalian state stud was founded in Warendorf by the Prussian stud administration. In 1887 the Münster – Warendorf – Rheda railway line was opened. In the course of this, the first station building was erected. This is still preserved today, but is no longer used as a station building. In 1902 the new station building was built and put into operation, but it fell victim to a fire on Friday, January 13, 1995.

Warendorf became a garrison in 1937/38 . Barracks were built in the north of the city, where the Bundeswehr sports school is now located.

archive

The city of Warendorf operated its own city archive until 1986. Then it went to the district central archive in Warendorf and is there to this day.

Incorporations

On October 1, 1945, the Neuwarendorf community was incorporated.

On July 1, 1969, the previously independent communities of Velsen and Vohren , which had existed since the spin-off from Altwarendorf in 1844, were incorporated.

On January 1, 1975 there was a further municipal reorganization through the integration of the communities Ein and Milte and the merger with the city of Freckenhorst . The new Warendorf district was formed by the merger of the Warendorf and Beckum districts. Warendorf was designated a district town.

Religions

The city is predominantly Catholic. The following parishes are located in the core town of Warendorf:

The Roman Catholic parishes

as well as a Franciscan monastery in whose church there is a pulpit from 1771 by the sculptor Johann Heinrich König from Münster.

The three Catholic parishes merged in 2010 to form the parish of St. Laurentius, the Franciscan monastery was sold by the order to a private investor who is now converting it into apartments. The West Prussian State Museum is also located in the former monastery complex .

In the district of Eine there is one of the oldest churches in the Münsterland, still preserved in the original architectural style, on which a new church was built in 1983. One can assume that the newest church is right next to one of the oldest churches in the region.

The Protestant parish, divided into

  • Warendorf-North
  • Warendorf-South

In 2005 a YMCA (Christian Association of Young People) was founded.

There is also a New Apostolic congregation, a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, a Mennonite congregation, a Protestant free church and a Muslim congregation.

The important Jewish community of Warendorf existed until 1941 . The community members who had not yet fled Germany before the Nazi dictatorship were deported and finally murdered. After May 1945, Jewish services were held again in Warendorf. Since 1949 at the latest, the Warendorf Jews have been part of the Münster Jewish Community . The former synagogue has been preserved in a modified form. Various memorial stones remind of Jewish life in Warendorf.

Town twinning

Warendorf has long-term relationships with several European cities. As early as 1951, the city took over the sponsorship of the Silesian Reichenbach in the Owl Mountains , as many of those displaced from there had been taken in in the Warendorf district.

The longest partnership - since 1965 - exists between Warendorf and Barentin in Normandy ; seven years later, Freckenhorst , which was still independent at the time, and Pavilly, also located in Normandy, signed partnership documents. In the first few years of their existence, both town twinning partnerships served the Franco-German reconciliation after the Second World War .

In the course of Europe growing closer together, the mayors of Oleśnica in Lower Silesia , formerly Oels ( Poland ) , signed letters of friendship in 2002. Since 2007 there has been a partnership with Petersfield in the south of England , which for its part also became the twin town of Barentins. All town twinning was preceded by private contacts.

In 2001 Warendorf was awarded the European Diploma by the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. Warendorf's services to the Franco-German relationship are given as a reason. The diploma is the first of four award levels for the European price .

Warendorf is also a member of the Hanseatic League of Modern Times .
