Cloppenburg ( Low German Cloppenborg ) is the district town and at the same time the largest city in the district named after it Cloppenburg in Lower Saxony .
geography
Districts
Cloppenburg is located in the Oldenburger Münsterland between Osnabrück and Oldenburg . Outside the city center, eleven localities belong to the urban area: Ambühren , Bethen , Emstekerfeld , Galgenmoor , Kellerhöhe, Staatsforsten , Stapelfeld , Sternbusch , Schmertheim and Vahren .
Basement height
Kellerhöhe is a " colony " founded at the beginning of the 20th century on the outskirts of the town of Cloppenburg, in which the land was made arable for agriculture and cattle breeding . The church of the Catholic parish of St. Marien Hoheging-Kellerhöhe-Bürgermoor , built in 1923, is located at the intersection of the three colonies Hoheging , Kellerhöhe and Bürgermoor, which belonged to the municipality of Krapendorf until 1933 , but are now divided into three different political communities .
Natural structure
The city of Cloppenburg is located in the main natural unit " Cloppenburger Geest " or in the sub-unit "Cloppenburger Lehm-Geest". This is also the main catchment area from the Soeste to Cloppenburg. This natural spatial unit is characterized as a weakly undulating ground moraine area, whose predominantly loamy soils (gley-like brown earth ) are mostly covered by a thin layer of floating or drifting sand and, due to the accumulation of surface water in poorly permeable subsoil ( boulder clay ), are fresh to moist, and occasionally wet in hollows.
To the west of Cloppenburg, between the villages of Bühren and Schmertheim, the subunit of the "Cloppenburger Sand-Geest" borders. The border to the Cloppenburger Lehm-Geest cannot be clearly drawn in a straight line. The Cloppenburger Sand-Geest represents, according to Meisel, a "predominantly sandy, slightly undulating ground moraine area , which in places has larger dune fields and is only divided by individual narrow, flat-moor-filled lowlands. [...] A lot of the soils formerly oaks -Birkenwälder wore long been verheidet [...] grassland only comes into the narrow valleys before, formerly alder - swamp forests contributed ".
history
The name
The origin of the name is not entirely clear, but it has two possible causes:
- The name is part of the mdl. Kloppen what a knock, beat, beat in terms of the formation of the medieval fortress is to be set.
- English place names such as Clopton, Clapton or Clophill are related to the Low German word clop = mountain, hill. Street names are quite revealing in this regard. There is a mountain road near the St. Andreas Church. However, this area belongs to Krapendorf, which only became part of Cloppenburg in 1855. The St. Andreas Church, Cloppenburg's city church, on the border with Krapendorf, is built on the highest point of the city, to which the Krapendorfer Bergstrasse leads up.
The name Cloppenburg was first mentioned in a document in 1297.
Prehistory and early history
A long-distance path leads through the area of the city of Cloppenburg , which is said to have existed as early as the Bronze Age and which leads from the Netherlands over the Ems and Weser to the Lüneburg Heath . The section of the path in the area of the municipality of Emstek and the city of Cloppenburg was called Herzog-Erich-Weg by the population after 1563 . Until recently, the street called Herzog-Erich-Ring formed the southern development boundary of the city of Cloppenburg.
middle Ages
Cloppenburg originally grew out of two settlement cores, which differed in age and history.
There are first written records from 819 about the older settlement Krapendorf, which grew on the Geestrand ; the Krapendorf parish was founded by the mission cell in Visbek . After Charlemagne built nine mission districts from 780 AD to Christianize the conquered Saxons, Abbot Gerbert Castus - the apostle of the Oldenburger Münsterland - founded the first parishes in the area from the Visbek mission cell . One of these was the Krapendorf parish church in Lerigau . The Counts of Tecklenburg built the Cloppenburg fortifications near the settlement of Krapendorf on the Soeste lowland in order to finally secure sovereignty in this area. On October 20, 855, Krapendorf and Visbek came to the Corvey Monastery .
Around 1100, after more than a hundred years of rule in Mecklenburg , the tenth of the church in Croppendorf became the property of Münster as a result of frequent feuds between the Counts of Tecklenburg and the bishops of Münster and Osnabrück. Around 1150 Kroppendorf appears in the directory of the Corvey patronage churches . Around 1200 the main courtyard, curia Gropendorf, appears in the property register of the Corvey monastery. On January 5, 1297, a deed documented the exchange of land that Count Otto III. von Tecklenburg had the Cloppenburg Castle built on a farm in Hemesburen (Hemmelsbühren) .
On June 18, 1393, the bishops and the cities of Münster and Osnabrück concluded an alliance to siege the Cloppenburg, which was conquered that same year. On December 28, 1396, Bishop Dietrich von Osnabrück ceded his share in Cloppenburg to the Bishop of Münster, Otto IV von Hoya .
On October 25, 1400, Count Nikolaus II of Tecklenburg renounced rule, office and castle. In the peace treaty of 1400 between Münster and Tecklenburg, the areas around Cloppenburg and Friesoythe were incorporated into the Duchy of Münster as the Cloppenburg office. Despite its geographical location between Hamburg and Osnabrück, it still belongs to the diocese of Münster. On March 9, 1411, the Burgflecken, which was built between 1400 and 1411, was granted soft image rights (city-like freedoms and privileges) by the Bishop of Münster . On January 5, 1435, the bishop of Münster granted Cloppenburg city rights with its own jurisdiction and a city coat of arms with the image of St. Paul .
In 1435, the church in Krapendorf was destroyed by the Osnabrückers, but this did not affect the importance of Krapendorf, as it was quickly rebuilt. Before 1450, the fortification of the city of Cloppenburg with ramparts and moats was completed. Despite the spatial proximity, Krapendorf was not included in the fortification. In 1537 Wilke Steding , builder of the Stedingsmühlen estate , became Drost von Cloppenburg.
1500 to 1800
- Religious dispute
On July 6th, 1543, Bishop Franz von Münster and Osnabrück introduced the evangelical creed. In 1600 the city school was built with Latin and German lessons. In 1613 the Catholic creed was reintroduced.
In 1622 Count von Mansfeld invaded the Lower Monastery of Münster and occupied Cloppenburg. In the further course of the war, imperial, Danish and Swedish troops were in Cloppenburg. In 1623 Tilly set up camp in Bethen near Cloppenburg. A fire in 1638 destroyed 61 houses. Not until 1650 did the last Swedish troops withdraw.

- Prince-Bishops of Galen
Through a contract dated September 19, 1667, the Prince-Bishop of Münster, Christoph Bernhard von Galen , acquired the spiritual sovereignty over the Niederstift, which Osnabrück had until now. In 1668 the new town chapel and town hall were inaugurated by Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen, who had also donated the high altar for the chapel (town chapel and town hall until 1892 in Osterstraße in front of the König drugstore). In 1668 the prince-bishop awarded the city two annual markets "for the promotion of non-profit commercial businesses". The inauguration of the Bethen Chapel of Mercy took place in 1669 by Christoph Bernhard von Galen.
In a major fire in Cloppenburg in 1716, the castle buildings, the Richthaus (now Heukamp ) and the Krapendorfer Tor were destroyed . In 1728 the new construction of the St. Andreas Church in Krapendorf was completed. In 1769 it received three new altars, which the sculptor Johann Heinrich König from Münster (Westphalia) had made around 1769, as well as a new pulpit (restored in 1963). The new tower of the church was completed in 1789.
1800 to 1900
After the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, Cloppenburg became part of the Duchy of Oldenburg . In 1805 the castle tower was blown up and the office building was built. From 1811 to 1814, under Napoleon, the place was the seat of a canton in the arrondissement Quakenbrück of the Département de l'Ems-Supérieur .
Cloppenburg had around 1,600 inhabitants when in 1855 the patch of Krapendorf was separated from the rural community of Krapendorf and was united with the castle town of Cloppenburg to form one municipality . Since then, Cloppenburg has grown into a medium-sized town with now over 30,000 inhabitants, which until 1933 was still completely surrounded by the (rural) municipality of Krapendorf, which in 1855 still included Garrel (municipality that became independent in 1872), Sevelten and Lüsche . The inauguration of the Evangelical Church took place in 1857 and that of the Cloppenburg Hospital in 1863. In 1864 the agricultural school and the higher citizen school were founded . The weekly paper for the city and office of Cloppenburg was published in September 1864 . The Cloppenburger Nachrichten , which had existed since 1878, was taken over by the Wochenblatt in 1882 , which was renamed the Münsterländische Tageszeitung in 1906 and still exists under this name today.
In 1878, at the suggestion of the Catholic chaplain Carl Ludwig Niemann, the Liebfrauenschule Cloppenburg was founded, which was sponsored by Our Dear Women .
In 1891 the St. Joseph Church was inaugurated and in 1893 the new town hall on Langen Strasse. In 1892 the old town chapel and the town hall were demolished.
The development of the railway network for the transport of agricultural goods and products was of central importance for the economic development of the area, which is characterized by subsistence farming . This made Cloppenburg the traffic junction of the Oldenburg Münsterland . The direct connection to the Rhenish-Westphalian industrial districts promoted agro-economic development; it contributed significantly to the importance of the city as a market and trading center in southern Oldenburg and was the starting point for the internal development of the offices of Cloppenburg and Friesoythe. The expansion of trade and traffic meant that after the First World War , Cloppenburg became “the trading metropolis of the Münsterland and beyond”.
Since 1900
In 1909 the district court was built on the former castle grounds. In 1914 the Real-Progymnasium (now Clemens-August-Gymnasium Cloppenburg ) was founded, which was inaugurated in 1917. On November 10, 1918, a workers' council was also formed in Cloppenburg .
Heinrich Ottenjann began building a local history museum in 1922. In 1927 the pilgrimage church and the warrior memorial church were built in Bethen. 1929 was the so-called "peasant uprising" in Sevelten ("Eberborg story"). The Münsterlandhalle was built around 1929/30 and was expanded in 1959. During the Oldenburg regional reform of 1933, most of the rural community of Krapendorf was incorporated into the city of Cloppenburg. However, some districts of Krapendorf were ceded to neighboring communities: Resthausen and Stalförden to the community of Molbergen, Warnstedt and Nutteln to the community of Cappeln and Kneheim to the community of Lastrup.
German Empire 1933 to 1945
In 1934 the history of the open-air museum Museumsdorf Cloppenburg began with the groundbreaking as an extension of the local history museum founded in 1922 .
The mass rally of 1936 in the Münsterlandhalle on the cross fight in the Oldenburger Münsterland was a protest action by the population and led to the withdrawal of the cross decree . In 1937 the city celebrated the topping-out ceremony for the new town hall.
Cloppenburg National Socialists set the Cloppenburg synagogue on fire in 1938 during the so-called November pogroms .
On February 5, 1940, two trains collided near Cloppenburg. Eleven people died and 31 others were injured.
On April 10, 1945, an air raid caused severe damage to around 150 buildings. According to contemporary witnesses, around 200 people were killed. British and Canadian troops occupied the place on April 13, 1945. The Quatmannshof in the museum village was destroyed.
After 1945
In 1956 the new building for the vocational school on Museumsstrasse was completed. 1959 was the consecration of the St. Augustine Church , since 1964 the third parish church. In 1960 the new district office was handed over on the former castle grounds.

In 1963, the Spreda plant in Emstekerfeld was built with a 76 meter high plant tower, which later became a symbol of the city as the Pfanni tower.
In 1964 the city had 16,281 inhabitants, of which 12,752 were Catholic and 2,898 Protestant. There were 2467 apartment buildings.
In 1967 the St. Bernhard Church was inaugurated in Emstekerfeld , in 1968 that of the new St. Josefs Church and in 1970 the St. Pius Stift as an old people's home and nursing school. The indoor pool opened in 1973, the outdoor pool in 1974. The old St. Joseph Church ( Little Church ) had to be demolished in 1973. In 1974 the special school and the dual gym in the school center on Cappelner Damm were completed.

Population statistics
The district of Cloppenburg, together with the neighboring district of Vechta, is known for its above-average birth rate in Germany. With an average of 1.9 children per woman, followed by the Vechta district with an average of 1.6 children per woman, the Cloppenburg district takes the top position nationwide. The reasons given for this are the classic distribution of roles between men and women in the conservative region and the comparatively high number of Russian-German resettlers in the area, who tend to have a higher birth rate. Every fifth inhabitant of the city comes from a late repatriate family .
