With this document, dominus Gisilbertus and domina Cuniza transfer Essen and Bohmte to Bishop Benno II and the Osnabrück church, apparently the whole place. You are guaranteed 4 pounds of tenth money for life from goods in Bohmte and other places as well as two wild boars and 2 hinds.

In Bohmte there was the coal mine Caroline from 1867 to 1875, and from 1911 to 1925 the colliery insistence of the union insistence, which promoted Wealdenkohle . This makes Bohmte the northernmost German hard coal mining site .

time of the nationalsocialism

At the beginning of 1945 two British airmen who had not landed in Bohmte were murdered in Bohmte . The proceedings against the local group leader of the NSDAP were discontinued in 1959 despite the proven complicity due to the impunity law .

Outsourcing

Population development

Population development in Bohmte since 1987

The following overview shows the population of Bohmte in the respective territories and on December 31st.

The figures are updates by the State Office for Statistics and Communication Technology Lower Saxony based on the census of May 25, 1987 .

The data from 1961 (June 6) and 1970 (May 27) are the census results including the places that were incorporated on July 1, 1972. The territorial status on July 1, 1975 applies.

year	1961	1970	1987	1990	1995	2000	2005	2010	2011	2015	2017	2018
Residents	9.009	9,338	10,062	10,695	12,352	13.191	13,318	12,935	12,877	12,637	12,612	12,689

Explanation of the place name

Old names of the place are 1047 Bamwide, 1088 Bomwide, 1090 Bamwide, 1090 Bonwide, 1188 Bomwede, 1310 Bowede, Bomethe, 1402 Bomde, 1423 Boemwede, 1604 Bombwede, 1625 Boembte, 1651 Bombte, 1652 Baumte, 1772 Bomte, 1789 Bomwedde and 1823 Booed. This place name has developed from Bom- / Bamwide to Bohmte. It is hardly possible otherwise than to derive Bohmte from “Bōm-wide” for “tree forest”. “Wide, wede” is Low German for “forest”. This is confusing: tree and forest; because every forest consists of trees. Therefore “tree” could be used in the sense of “timber” in this case. The green tree was called in very old times by "tere", while "bom" stood for "dry tree, beam". Probably the “Bom-” in this place name can be seen as “Bauholz”. But it is not certain.

The federal highways 51 , 65 and the B 218 , which ends there, meet near the southwestern municipal boundary , at the Leckermühle roundabout . The B 51 and B 65 reach the intersection on a common route coming from the south-west of Osnabrück and continue from there separately in the direction of Bremen and Hanover .

Because of the heavy through traffic that is concentrated on the historic village street, the town center is being redesigned to calm traffic as part of the “ Shared Space ” concept . The basic principle of "more safety through fewer rules" has been implemented since summer 2006 at two intersections by dismantling 60% of the traffic signs, partly colored road surfaces and roundabouts. Since May 19, 2008, all traffic signs in the 450 meter long section have been dispensed with, and the strict separation of lane and sidewalk has been abolished.

Bohmte owns a small airfield . The nearest international airport is Münster-Osnabrück Airport in Greven .
