history

The Münsterland with the region around Dülmen was once inhabited by the Germanic tribe of the Brukterer in single and multi-farm houses, one of which was the main farm. After the Franconian occupation and the Christian missionary work, political and ecclesiastical administration took place, with the main courtyard of the later Dülmen farmers becoming ecclesiastical around 800. For the first time will peasantry Dülmen documented as "Dulmenni" in 889 in Lifting register of the monastery are mentioned dutiable. In 1115, south-west of the village of Dülmen, work began on the construction of the lordly castle " Haus Dülmen ". In 1299, Count Eberhard I von der Mark set fire to the village; in the following years it was secured with walls and ditches. Since 1305, near the eastern edge of the settlement, in front of the later Lüdinghauser Tor, there was a sovereign court, the Gogericht "zur Greinkuhle". The town charter was granted on April 22, 1311 by the Prince-Bishop of Münster , Ludwig II . In addition to limited self-administration, these rights also included market rights. The parish church of St. Viktor was elevated to a collegiate church in 1323. The chapter finally included twelve canons. Senior of the chapter was the dean.

From 1328 to 1808, two mayors elected annually controlled the fortunes of the city. In 1404 the mayor and the city council bought the land for the construction of the town hall. From 1414, the poor found help and admission in the Heilig-Geist-Spital. From 1424 to 1803 the secular rule in the diocese of Münster was divided into twelve offices, one of which was the office of Dülmen. It included the cities of Dülmen and Haltern and the parishes of Dülmen, Buldern and Hullern. In 1434 a teacher was employed according to a mutual agreement between the chapter of the monastery and the city. In 1457 the Augustinian nuns from Münster opened a convent called Agnetenberg near today's nuns tower. Dülmen became a member of the Hanseatic League in 1470 . In Weddern in 1476/77, the Marienburg Charterhouse was the only Carthusian settlement in Westphalia. In 1498 the oldest list of residents recorded 288 households and 780 people over twelve years old. In 1507, five “street communities” joined forces within the city to make better use of the common brands. In 1538 three Anabaptists were sentenced to death . In 1566, Dülmen, plagued by the plague, received food from the city of Münster . In 1579 the restoration work on St. Viktor's high choir, built around 1500, was completed. In 1581 the sovereign had some Jews arrested who had settled in Dülmen without his permission. In 1583, during the Spanish-Dutch war, the civil rifle organizations were reorganized and the fortifications reinforced. In 1591 Dülmen was sacked by the Spaniards and the Dutch. In 1601 the St. Viktor Church received a tower with a towering helmet and a Gothic gallery.

Dülmen around 1647 from the southwest. The two mercenaries in the foreground would be walking on Halterner Strasse today .

In the Thirty Years' War Dülmen had to open its gates to imperial troops in 1623. The municipal self-government that had existed since 1311 came to an end for the time being. In 1628 two women were burned as witches within four weeks. In 1629 a conflagration incinerated almost a third of the city and damaged walls and gates. In the course of a single year, Dülmen changed military garrisons twenty times in 1635. After a long and hard period of occupation, the Hessian mercenaries finally cleared the place in 1651. The consequences of thirty years of war were in 1670: 123 houses were devastated, 79 were inhabited by the poor. The Kreuzkapelle was built in front of the Lüdinghauser Tor in 1679 as a place of worship for the residents of town and country. A mail service from Münster to Cologne via Dülmen started operating in 1723. Johann Heinrich Schücking built a grain distillery in 1752, which was expanded to include a steam mill in 1828. During the Seven Years' War , the French commander Soubise had a large part of the city wall demolished in 1761.

After the abolition of the Principality of Münster in 1803, the former Amt of Dülmen became an imperial county of the Dukes of Croÿ, who came from the Franco-Belgian border area, for three years . When the Münsterland was incorporated into the French Empire in 1811, Napoleon dissolved the monastery chapter at the parish church of St. Viktor and the Agnetenberg monastery . As the new sovereign, the King of Prussia transferred Dülmen to the Coesfeld district within the province of Westphalia in 1816 .

In 1824 the stigmatized former Augustinian nun Anna Katharina Emmerick died here after suffering twelve years. The Wesel - Haltern - Dülmen - Münster road begun by Napoleon was partially completed in 1828 as the first "art road" . The company Aloys Kirschner, commissioned with the construction of the Herzog-von-Croÿschen Palace , moved its headquarters from Havixbeck to Dülmen in 1834 . The Prinz Rudolph ironworks was the first factory to be built during industrialization in 1842 . During the March Revolution of 1848 there was an outbreak of social protest. Day laborers and small craftsmen from the city and the surrounding area demolished some rooms of the castle. Then they threw the windows of merchants and officials, looted their food supplies and alcohol. The Evangelical Congregation, which had built its church the year before, was raised to an independent church congregation by the consistory and government in 1857. The new synagogue of the Jewish community had also been on Münsterstrasse since 1863. The construction of the Essen-Münster railway line opened up the city for rail traffic between the Ruhr area and Hamburg in 1870 . Meier Bendix (son of Moses Bendix ) opened a mechanical weaving mill on Lüdinghauser Strasse in 1873, initially with 100 chairs. With the opening of the Dortmund – Gronau line , Dülmen became a railway junction with a tower station in 1875 . The city council and the magistrate transferred the central supply of gas and water to the newly founded municipal utilities in 1897. The old "Latin School" or the "Rector's School" of the 19th century was expanded into a grammar school in 1912.

Despite much opposition, the Church of the Holy Cross was built in 1936 as the second Catholic parish church. During the “ Reichskristallnacht ” members of the SA let the synagogue of the Jewish community go up in flames. During the French campaign in 1940, bombs fell for the first time near the city. The goal was the underground fuel depot of the air force in the Osthofer forest. The last members of the Jewish community - ten elderly people - were transported to the east in 1941/1942 and finally murdered in a concentration camp. In connection with the Allies crossing the Lower Rhine, bomber groups destroyed the entire city center shortly before the end of the Second World War.

The rapid reconstruction of the residential and workplaces reached a festive climax with the handover of the new town hall in 1956. In 1963, Dülmen entered into a partnership with the French city of Mézières near Charleville . With the stationing of the 7th artillery regiment of the Bundeswehr in the St. Barbara barracks, the economically thriving Dülmen became a garrison town in 1966, and with the establishment of the Dülmen special ammunition dump it was also a location for nuclear weapons. As a result of the regional reform, the rural communities lost their independence in 1975. The enlarged urban area includes the municipality of Buldern with Hiddingsel , the Dülmen office with the municipality of Kirchspiel and Merfeld as well as the municipality of Rorup and parts of the municipality of Limbergen belonging to the Rorup office. With the completion of the A 43 Wuppertal-Münster, Dülmen was connected to the motorway network in 1981. In 1983 the city granted the British military equipment depot the right of honor. After the opening of the inner German border joined Dülmen and Fehrbellin in Brandenburg in 1990 a twinning arrangement . After the number of employees in the Paul Bendix textile spinning and weaving mill was halved during the structural crisis in 1966/67 and production was switched to carded yarn, the company was discontinued in 1993, ending 120 years of company history and the formerly most important sector of the Dülmen economy ceased to exist. The history of the garrison ended in 2003 with the withdrawal of the Bundeswehr units stationed in Dülmen.

In 2016, during excavation work on the planned “Intergenerational Center”, Germany's oldest bell pit at that time was found.

On January 1, 1975, the previously independent communities Buldern , Parish Dülmen , Merfeld and Rorup were incorporated into the city of Dülmen.

population

A good 90% of Dülmen was destroyed in the Second World War. After the war, Dülmen experienced a rapid upswing. From the approximately 5,000 inhabitants after the war, the population grew to over 20,000 by 1973.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of the city of Dülmen

Blazon : "A blue four-leaf clover in gold."

It appeared for the first time at the turn of the 16th to the 17th century and was used on copper coins minted in Dülmen at the end of the 16th century. The coat of arms was then included in the municipal seal at the beginning of the 18th century.

The cross probably comes from the coat of arms of the city patron St. Viktor . He is shown on a rider's seal of the Dülmen St. Viktor monastery from the 14th century with such a shield.

The colors blue in gold were given as an ancient tradition as early as 1848. The city colors are yellow-blue.

City flag

In the city flag, the city colors yellow are reflected in the left half and blue as longitudinal stripes in a one-to-one ratio. On the left you can see the trefoil cross, which is also shown in the coat of arms. The banner is designed accordingly and shows the trefoil cross in the upper half of the yellow strip.

Town twinning

Since 1963, Dülmen has been twinning with Charleville-Mézières (formerly Mézières ), the capital of the French Ardennes department . Since 1990 there has been a friendship between the cities of Fehrbellin in Brandenburg .

Parks

The Dülmen Wildlife Park as the largest Dülmener park with 250 hectares and also known nationwide has existed since 1860, the year the land was acquired, and has its origins in the former Gut Hinderkinck, which has existed since 1341. Originally, the site was intended as a country residence for the Duke of Croÿ. In 1864 the owner Alfred von Croÿ commissioned the English landscape architect Edward Milner with the design, who planned the 120 hectare site with a pond, wooden bridge, meadows and groups of trees. The execution was carried out by the gardener Charles Barnard, who also had an influence on the design. In the following years the park was expanded. Today the park is used for local recreation and is home to various wild animals such as roe deer and fallow deer, which have been kept in the park since the 1920s.

The wildlife park is connected to the former site of the castle, of which only the old stables still exist, via the so-called, parallel park. The foundation stone for the castle was laid in 1834 by Alfred von Croÿ. The palace garden belonged to the palace and was converted into a landscape garden in 1861. The castle was destroyed in the last days of the Second World War, with the route of Halterner Strasse intersecting the western facade of the castle. Today the garden represents the castle park, which offers relaxation and play opportunities.

Other parks are the Bendixpark, the wedding park “An der Lehmkuhle”, the park “An den Wiesen” or the Vorpark.

Infrastructure and economy

traffic

history

Streets

Dülmen was connected to the road network with the first highway in 1828 . As Kaiserstraße N3 , this basically followed today's course of the L551.

Rail transport

Due to the meeting of two lines of competing railway companies, the Köln-Mindener Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft ( Hamburg-Venloer Bahn ) and the Dortmund-Gronau-Enscheder Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft , in the period around 1870 and 1875, two separate stations developed initially, although already at When planning the Dortmund-Gronau-Enschede line, a common train station was required and made a condition. For more pragmatic reasons, this was not done for the time being. After several attempts to build a joint reception building had failed, it was not until the 1950s that the “Dülmen Ost” station with temporary buildings became the only “Dülmen” station. It was not until 1964 that Dülmen received a common reception building at a central location for both routes. Since then, the station has been one of the few tower stations in Germany. The track expansion was initially very intensive - also with sidings for local companies - but lost its importance with the rise of individual traffic in the 1950s.

Great Bomberg

The district of Buldern has its own train station, which, according to legend, owes it to the great Bomberg . He is said to have always pulled the emergency brake on the railway line between Münster and Dülmen at the height of Buldern. He was happy to pay the resulting fine, as he was then able to walk to his residence, Schloss Buldern . The railway administration finally had some understanding and built "the smallest train station in the Münsterland".

Transport network

For the entire public transport system which is considered Westphalia tariff and tariff-border space of NRW fare .

Rail transport
