history

Denekamp

Denekamp was named Demnichem in a church register from 1276 and was first mentioned as an independent parish with its own church and pastor. From the original first church, after extensions around 1350 and before 1436, the St. Nikolaus Church , built from Bentheim sandstone in the early Gothic style , which underwent major extensions in some cases until the 20th century, such as the addition of a large dome building in 1911 .

Until 1818 Denekamp belonged together with the parishes of Ootmarsum and Tubbergen to the school authority Ootmarsum, when it became an independent municipality together with the villages of Agelo, Breklenkamp, ​​Nutter, Oud Ootmarsum and Lattrop. In 1949, as part of the post-war border corrections, smaller German land areas were added to the municipality of Denekamp. The corrections involved 0.03 km² along the Nordhorn-Almelo Canal for water management from the Rammelbeck and for customs control on the Grensweg. In the 1990s the community lost part of the Klein Angelo farmers to the community of Ootmarsum. On January 1, 2001, the municipalities of Denekamp, ​​Ootmarsum and Weerselo merged to form a new municipality, which was called Denekamp municipality until May 31, 2002 and was named Dinkelland municipality on June 1, 2002.

Ootmarsum

Ootmarsum, called Othmarsheim in the Middle Ages , is said to have been founded in 126 AD by a legendary king, Othmar or Ottmar. What is certain is that the town already existed at the time of the Ottonians and formed a large parish . Around 1300 Ootmarsum was granted city rights by the bishop of Utrecht , it was soon walled and turned into a small fortress . It was at the crossroads of two trade routes, one of which ran from Flanders to Bremen . After Moritz von Nassau had conquered the city for the Protestant Netherlands in 1602 during the Eighty Years War , the fortifications were razed. It fell into disrepair as the development of transport and industry took place elsewhere. Around 1900 the place was recognized as a picturesque cityscape, and some tourism began to emerge. The center was restored in the 1980s.

Weerselo

Weerselo was built around an old monastery and was visited several times by robber knights in the 14th century . They lived in Saasveld on Saterslo Castle, which was demolished in 1818.

Attractions

The center of Ootmarsum with its church and the winding alleys was restored in the 1980s. Located where open-air museum Los Hoes trying from the old Low German hall house - farms to convey an image of the area, was founded in 2004 severely damaged by arson; on March 23, 2005 it was reopened after restoration. To the west of Ootmarsum, where typical Christmas and Easter customs have also been preserved, is a hill that allows a distant view of the town.

West of Denekamp on the Dinkel (Vechte) river is the 17th / 18th century. Century castle Singraven . It can be visited a few times a week in summer with a guided tour and houses a lot of antique furniture. There is a restaurant by the castle, in an old water mill. This double watermill was painted by Meindest Hobbema as early as the 17th century . The famous picture of this mill hangs in the Louvre in Paris .

Denekamp has the oldest regional natural history museum in the Netherlands. The provincial natural history museum Natura Docet (German: Nature teaches) was founded in 1911 by Meester Bernard Bernink and is now run by a foundation. There is a close cooperation with the Nordhorn Zoo .

In Weerselo there is the district of Het Stift (a former monastery ) with houses from the 18th century and old trees. The collegiate church is the only remnant of a Benedictine monastery from the 12th century. An antique market is held here every Saturday.

The community is crossed by the strongly meandering Dinkel river, where some small streams flow. There are many small forests in Dinkelland. It is one of the few areas in the Netherlands where half-timbered farms (from the 18th and 19th centuries) still stand.
