history
The "Dickenberg", which was hardly populated and heavily forested until the 16th century, was slowly settled with settlers from the south of Püsselbüren. The nucleus of the settlement was in the "Mellenlied", a valley south of the Dickenberg and north of Püsselburen. After 1700, with the establishment of the Prussian Mining Authority on the later Abendsternschacht, the further settlement of the Dickenberg began. The forest areas were cleared and large heather areas were created. On December 2, 1951, the Catholic Church of St. Barbara was consecrated. A windmill was built on today's Hellendorner Strasse. With the separation of the Dickenberg farming community from Püsselbüren in 1957, Dickenberg became an independent district in the Ibbenbüren-Land community. Numerous settlements have been established to this day and the population has increased rapidly.
traffic
Street
Dickenberg is located on the former federal highway 65 , which was downgraded to a country road in the course of the construction of the Autobahn 30 . From this the L-504 branches off in the district towards Lingen via Hopsten. The Autobahn 30 is a few kilometers south in the Ibbenbüren valley.
District roads lead to Recke and Püsselbüren.
rail
The Ibbenbüren-Esch train station in Püsselbüren is only a little south of the village and serves as a passenger and freight station. Trains run from here in the direction of Rheine and Osnabrück.
For a long time there was a narrow-gauge railway to the canal in Uffeln and Hörstel station, which connected the brickworks, mines and quarries with the Mittelland Canal and the Löhne – Rheine railway line .
Waterways
The Mittelland Canal runs through the neighboring towns of Uffeln and Obersteinbeck to the west and north of the town.
economy
The Westfeld coal mine was located on the Dickenberg until 1979 . Numerous jobs were lost with its closure. In the past, the Brockmann, Habbes and Möller brickworks were the largest employers on the Dickenberg after the colliery. Until 2011, the Möller brickworks existed on the Dickenberg under the name Stradalit. The coveted Ibbenbürener sandstone was and is still being quarried in the countless quarries and exported all over the world.
Brickworks
As early as 1672, field brickworks had sporadically existed on the Dickenberg which used the locally occurring clay and loam . Fixed brickworks developed at three locations on Dickenberg from the 19th century.
Brockmann brickworks
The Brockmann brickworks was built in 1871 by the innkeeper Heinrich Knüppe from Püsselbüren. Heinrich Brockmann, the later owner, initially worked here as a brick master. He had come from Lippe as a traveling brick . When he took over the brickworks in 1884, he expanded it by two ovens and built the workers' house called Blitzenburg. In 1903 the brickworks was closed because it was completely out of date and inferior to the state of the art at the time. From 1972 the sunshine settlement was built on the former brickworks and its mining areas. Today a memorial stone on the settlement's playground testifies to the location of the brickworks.
Habbes brickworks
The Habbes brickworks was built in 1891 as a hand brick. 1895 was Ringofen the brick built and went around 1902 to William Hobbes and his chief clerk Wilhelm Schnepper. These operated the brickworks as a seasonal operation and built the brickworks railway to the port in Uffeln and the train station in Hörstel . In 1949 the brickworks was expanded to include a drying chamber with a coke plant. Since Preussag and its Westfeld mine were interested in the brickworks, it was sold to them in 1961. The Preussag operated it until 1969 the clay deposits on site were exhausted. Subsequently, almost all buildings were removed and the chimney moved. A container service has been on the site for a long time.
Brickyard Möller
Hugo Berentelg and August Niessing from Recke built the brickworks as a ring kiln in 1886. In 1922 Niessing's heir - Carl Möller - took over the brickworks. With the construction of a modern tunnel kiln in 1960 and the second in 1968, the brickworks survived the extinction of the ring kiln brickworks. Two striking chimneys lined the plant for many years, one of which was removed in the 1980s. At its best, the brickworks produced over 100 different shapes and colors of clinker. In 1991 ownership changed to the AKA brick group and was operated under the name Stradalit. Due to overcapacities on the brick market, the plant was shut down in 2011 by the parent company CRH Clay Solutions GmbH. This ended the centuries-old tradition of Dickenberg brickworks.
