Dinker

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Today Dinker is part of the municipality of Welver in the district of Soest in North Rhine-Westphalia . The former parish of Dinker extended beyond today's village.

Location and structure

Dinker is located on the Ahse River on Hammer Landstrasse (L 670). The area is dominated by agriculture. Today agriculture hardly plays a role economically and Dinker is above all a housing estate. About 855 people live in the present village.

The parish of Dinker is divided into several settlement areas. The parish church of St. Othmar is in Kirchdinker . Norddinker and Süddinker belong to the city of Hamm today. Kirchdinker itself was divided into various settlement areas in the Middle Ages. To the north was the village of Echtrop. The group from Höfen ranged from the free chair to the singer's courtyard . In the middle a settlement was grouped around the church. The Klotinghof tower hill castle was also located there . The parish church was built in its current form around 1747. From the previous Romanesque building, the tower was initially retained, but it was rebuilt in 1902. The rectory and the rectory garden are enclosed by a moat . The cemetery was on today's church square. The densely packed houses surrounded the churchyard in a ring. This type of settlement is called Wigbold in Westphalian . Most of the preserved buildings are listed. To the south was the Dorfwelver homestead group . There was the knight seat of Haus Galen. This also emerged from a tower hill castle and was also called Haus Dinker in the early modern times. The knight seats Haus Matena and Haus Bockhövel were also located there. The singer's court is still preserved from the formerly numerous knight seats. In addition to the no longer existing Clotinghof, this is the only one in today's area of ​​the village.

history

Traces of settlement exist from the Mesolithic , Neolithic and Bronze Age . Possibly the name Dinker comes from a thing .

The high number and concentration of the aristocratic courts and thus the "permanent" houses is unusual.

A lavishly decorated grave of a Frankish rider from the Merovingian era was found in Dinker , probably from the 8th century.

With the conquest and Christianization of Saxony by Charlemagne , the area belonged to the original parish of Soest, founded in 777 . Dinker was separated from it between 900 and 1000 and came to the St. Kunibert monastery in Cologne . Since 1103 Dinker belonged to a free county that was at least temporarily owned by the Rüdenberger and was influenced by the archbishops of Cologne . A family of ministerials with the name Dinker was first mentioned in a document in 1166. After 1200 the Lords of Dinker, called Cloedt or Klot, existed. In 1282 one was Freistuhl the Feme first mentioned. A stone slab and a boulder remind of this today.

Since the 14th century there have been other knightly families in the parish (hereditary comrades). These included the von Galen , the von Plettenberg and the Droste zu Hülshoff . There were a total of nine knight seats in the parish. These were the Klotinghof, Sengerhof, Haus Galen, Haus Matena, Haus Bockhövel, Haus Nateln, Haus Nehlen , Haus Vellinghausen and Haus Hohenover . The noble families had come together to form Dinker's knighthood.

The free county was acquired by the city of Soest in the 14th century. The knighthood, which after the feud of Soest was subordinate to the Counts of the Mark , even if the archbishops of Cologne as Dukes of Westphalia continued to assert rights, saw their rights restricted by the rule of the city of Soest and repeatedly declared themselves a county Mark properly. She was supported in the conflicts with Soest von Kleve and later also from Brandenburg . The disputes did not end until the 18th century.

With the Reformation in nearby Soest, Dinker also became Protestant. In 1761 the battle of Vellinghausen took place in the parish during the Seven Years' War .

Soest's rule over Dinker did not end until the Napoleonic era in 1811. Dinker was an independent municipality until it was incorporated into the municipality of Welver on July 1, 1969 on the occasion of the municipal reorganization.
