history

Dissen was first mentioned in a document in 822, when Ludwig the Pious ceded the Meierhof in Dissen to the Bishop of Osnabrück. It is not known since when the place existed.

A three-class citizen school was launched in 1857. In April 1832, a major fire destroyed 32 buildings and 200 people lost their roof over their heads. On November 8, 1951, Dissen received city rights. The name “Dissen am Teutoburger Wald” was officially ordered by the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior with effect from January 1, 1976. Dissen has had a full-time mayor since March 1, 2005 . The mayoral election of May 26, 2019 was declared invalid. The general representative of the mayor was Ulrich Strakeljahn, he took over the official business until the new election. His deputies were Meike Krüger (CDU) and Derk van Berkum (SPD).

Origin of the place name

Old names of the place are 1217, 1284, 1325 (de) Disnse, 1223, 1282, 1402, 1412, 1442, 1456/58, 1463, 1556, (after 1605) (de) Dissen, 1225 (in) Dyssene, (approx . 1240) Dissene, 1246 (de) Dissenen, 1271 (de) Dissine, 1279 (in) Dhissene, 1402 Dyssen, 1412 Dyssen, 16th century Dyssen and 1565 Dissenn. Difficult, perhaps too hazy in Low German in a form of Disina "foggy, hazy area", perhaps based on the moor area at the Dissener Bach. But maybe also as Desina> Dissen to North Germanic anord. of the "haystack, ëschober", norw. desja "small pile", which was also borrowed into English. Then about hill town. Hard to solve so far.

Incorporations

In the course of the regional reform in Lower Saxony , which took place on April 1, 1974, there was an exchange of territory between the city of Dissen and the neighboring municipality of Bad Rothenfelde, in which Dissen gained a little more than 100 inhabitants, but also ceded almost 600 inhabitants.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of Dissen in the Teutoburg Forest
 Blazon : "In green under a golden leaf crown, a five-spoke golden wheel ."
Justification of the coat of arms: Klemens Stadler writes about this in his book:

“The patch, which became town in 1951, already had the crown and wheel in its older emblem, including two diagonally crossed palm branches, as shown by reproductions on the church organ from the 18th century and on the town hall as well as the earlier seals. The wheel indicates the sovereignty of the bishops of Osnabrück . Crown and branches are decorations that are not uncommon in baroque heraldry and sphragistics . In the new version of the coat of arms, approved by the district president in Osnabrück in 1968, the Osnabrück wheel was reduced to five spokes, as was done in the old seals of the Meier and Richter, and the branches were omitted as accessories. The field color green is supposed to symbolize the rural area and the addition to the city name. "

flag

The flag colors are green, yellow.
