Brochterbeck war memorial

Brochterbeck was first mentioned in 1150 as "Brotterbike". The village is located in the old territory of the former county of Tecklenburg and includes the farming communities Oberdorf, Niederdorf, Wallen-Lienen, Horstmersch and Holthausen. In 1515 the county of Tecklenburg was divided. The four Mecklenburg parishes, to which Brochterbeck belonged, were incorporated into the County of Lingen .

Due to the political back and forth in the 16th and 17th centuries between Spaniards and Orange, between Catholic and Reformed rule interests, Brochterbeck experienced the most eventful time in his history. A certain calm and stability did not return until 1702, when the County of Lingen, including the former Mecklenburg parishes, was inherited by the Kingdom of Prussia. In 1707 the county of Tecklenburg was sold to Prussia and thus they belonged again together to the territory of the Tecklenburg-Lingen government.

Brochterbeck had an office of his own until 1907, but then joined the office of Tecklenburg .

On April 2, 1945 there was fighting in Brochterbeck between the retreating German Wehrmacht and the advancing Allied troops. On the morning of April 2, British troops had crossed the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Dörenthe and were advancing towards Brochterbeck. Since the village was not handed over without a fight, but defended by Wehrmacht units, 17 buildings went up in flames during the fighting.

In the course of the regional reform, which came into force on January 1, 1975, Brochterbeck was incorporated into the city of Tecklenburg.

Brochterbeck became the most beautiful village in the Steinfurt district in 1985. In the continuation of the competition “Our village should become more beautiful” at the state level, Brochterbeck achieved the bronze medal. A year later, in 1986, the village received the certificate of appointment as a "State Recognized Resort". In the competition "Our village should be more beautiful" in 1999 Brochterbeck received the gold medal at the district level.

Lime works

A lime works was operated on Osterklee until 2014 . The lime works founded in 1950 was taken over by H. Wallmeyer & Söhne in 1957. Until 1995 the required limestone was quarried directly at the plant in its own quarry, after which the limestone had to be brought in from outside. In 2009 the plant was sold to the Calcis company from Lienen, which produced carbonate of lime and hydrated lime there. After being shut down in 2014, the plant was demolished in 2015.

Rail transport

The Brochterbeck junction station, which was also served by passenger trains until 1968, is located above the town center on the Lengerich - Ibbenbüren / Dörenthe port section of the Teutoburg Forest Railway (TWE), which opened in 1901, and is now only used sporadically for freight traffic and special trips on the Teuto-Express . The small station building has been torn down, parts of the site were used to expand the Ringhotel Teutoburg Forest.

After the summer storm in August 2010 caused a dam slide at the level of the golf course, the "Teuto-Express" from Lengerich ends in Tecklenburg and can no longer travel via Brochterbeck to Ibbenbüren Aasee. When, after a year, the tracks to the south were also interrupted and not repaired by the new TWE owner Captrain Deutschland , a "pro TWE action alliance" was founded in January 2012 , which aims to ensure, among other things, the long-term maintenance and regular use of the Ibbenbüren railway line. Hövelhof has set itself the goal in the areas of leisure and tourism traffic.
