About this picture

The city of Drensteinfurt ( Stewwert in Low German ) is a district town in the Warendorf district south of Münster in North Rhine-Westphalia . The towns of Drensteinfurt, Rinkerode and Walstedde belong to the city ​​of Drensteinfurt .

geography

Drensteinfurt lies on the Werse and borders (clockwise, starting in the northeast) with the cities and communities of Sendenhorst and their districts Albersloh ( Warendorf district ), Ahlen (Warendorf district), Heessen ( Hamm district ), Bockum-Hövel ( Hamm district ) ), Ascheberg ( Coesfeld district ) and Münster ( independent city ).

Drensteinfurt is surrounded by fields and meadows that are mainly used for cattle breeding. Hedges and smaller patches of forest interrupt the fields and serve as a retreat for many wild animals. Together with a well-developed network of cycle paths and the many field and farm roads, the typical image of the " Münsterland park landscape " results .

Parts of the forest areas Davert and Hohe Ward surround the district of Rinkerode. The Davert is relatively young as a forest area. After the brand division at the beginning of the 19th century, this swampy landscape was largely drained and afforested. Today oak and beech forests in particular, alternating with agricultural areas, characterize this still relatively sparsely populated area. The Hohe Ward has been partly afforested with Scots pine due to the sandy soil . The more humid marginal areas on somewhat heavier soils are also characterized by deciduous forests. In addition to local recreation, the Hohe Ward is mainly used for drinking water for the city of Münster.

history

Surname

The name Drensteinfurt is derived from two terms, on the one hand from Dreingau , which means something like fertile land, and on the other from the stone ford that existed in the Middle Ages, which was the only crossing over the Werse .

9th century / first documented mention

Bronze sculpture with Walbraht and Saint Alexander crossing the Wersefurt in Drensteinfurt

Drensteinfurt was first mentioned in a document in 851 in connection with the Alexander Translation . Walbraht, a grandson of Widukind, transported the bones of the martyr Alexander from Rome to Wildeshausen. On this trip his entourage stopped in "Stenvorde in regione Dreni". At that time, Drensteinfurt only consisted of an upper courtyard on a stone ford in the Werse. This geographically favorable location meant that the settlement quickly became important for the surrounding farms. Presumably, however, the settlement already existed in the 7th century.

12th to 14th centuries

Over time, the settlement continued to grow, and a parish was soon established. The first church, at that time still a private church of the landlord's court, was built around 1170. The rather loose settlement structure gradually turned into a small village. The first signs of urbanization could be seen from around 1300, as the first solid stone buildings were erected at this time. One of the first buildings next to the church was the Steinfurt House - the mansion of the landlords. From 1428 was first of a Wigbold spoken.

15th century / city fortifications

With the rampant desertification in the 15th century, Drensteinfurt continued to grow. Farmers and settlers from the surrounding area settled near the village. On the one hand, this increased the population density, but it also meant that many farms were now very concentrated and in exposed locations for attackers. For these reasons, a city fortification with four city gates was built, the approximate position of which was made recognizable in today's cityscape by stone walls. The city gates were built in 1437 and 1468. Towards the end of the 16th century, the fortifications were reinforced again. Despite the chaos of war in the 16th and 17th centuries, the city was spared major disaster.

16th to 18th century

These centuries were marked by enormous urban expansion. Driven forward by the landlords on Haus Steinfurt were z. B. erected many Gaden . Most of the city's monuments and sights date from this period.

19th century / industrialization / strontianite mining

The construction of the railway line from Münster to Hamm, which began in 1846, was an important stimulus for the local economy. The 34.7 km long route was completed within two years. The only stopover was a train station in Drensteinfurt. At the beginning, this served mainly to transport cattle, but in the time of the strontianite mining took on a central function in the removal of the mineral used as a catalyst in the sugar industry. The strontianite was even brought from Ascheberg and Herbern to the Drensteinfurt train station and transported away by horse and cart.

In the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, Drensteinfurt achieved economic prosperity through the mining of strontianite. In 1877/78 the first Bertha and Maria pits were built in the Rieth family . As a result, further pits were built in the surrounding farmers. However, the economic success did not last long. The last company closed in 1930. Buildings like Villa Schmidt still bear witness to the wealth that the dismantling brought with it. Today the Strontianitstraße in the industrial area Viehfeld and the Strontianitlehrpfad in the Adenauer residential area remind of this time of the Drensteinfurt urban development.

1939-1945

Over 200 men and two women from Drensteinfurt were either killed or went missing in captivity during or after the Second World War. Then there were the victims of the air raids and the Jewish victims of National Socialism.

Between 1940 and 1945 there were multiple air raids and bombs in the Drensteinfurt area. The heaviest bomb attack with 64 dead and 200 injured (60 of them seriously) took place at around 11 a.m. on March 23, 1944. 496 heavy explosive bombs were dropped on the city area and the adjacent Feller Gardens. Many buildings in the inner city were completely destroyed or badly damaged. If Drensteinfurt was able to retain the building fabric from the Middle Ages by then, extensive renovation and new buildings were necessary due to the bombing.

The last bombing raid on Drensteinfurt took place on the night of March 26th to 27th, 1945. The Dieckmann house on the Siegfried Line was hit. Nine residents died. On March 31, 1945, with the invasion of American units, the Second World War ended in Drensteinfurt, after 80 course participants at a military school in Detmold had tried in vain to defend the city.

In the period from 1933 to 1945, the Jewish citizens of Drensteinfurt were increasingly marginalized and persecuted. In 1938 there were 27 or 28 Jews in the city. During the night of the pogrom (November 9-10, 1938), several Jews were severely mistreated, the Jewish cemetery desecrated and the synagogue devastated.

The families Simon, Siegfried, Hubert Terhoch and his brother Alex emigrated to Uruguay at the end of 1938. Ten Jewish Drensteinfurter stayed in the village. In December 1941 they were brought to Münster on a truck and from there on the Reichsbahn to Riga to the concentration camp. Except for Herta Salomon, they were all murdered there. Herta Salomon emigrated to Israel in 1949.

Major projects planned in the 1960s and 1970s

Proton accelerator

In 1967 the city of Drensteinfurt was the only German candidate that the Federal Republic of Germany sent in for the location of a particle accelerator for the European Organization for Nuclear Research ( CERN ). In 1963, CERN decided to build such a research facility in one of the member states. Each member country nominated candidates. After the other German candidates, Ebersberger Forst near Munich and Saarlouis in Saarland, were rejected by a specialist commission in the Federal Ministry of Research, Drensteinfurt remained the only candidate in the race. In 1966, the first test drillings to investigate the geological properties were carried out in the Mersch district. The result showed Drensteinfurt to be geologically ideal for such a facility. The other conditions set by CERN were also met.

  • tectonically quiet location
  • Close to a larger city (Münster, Hamm, Ruhr area)
  • Close to a university (Münster, Ruhr area)
  • Close to motorways and railways (A 1, A 43, Münster – Hamm railway)
  • Infrastructure for large electricity and water consumption

The construction costs were estimated at 1.5 to 2 billion  DM . Construction was due to begin in 1969, but the decision was delayed when Britain wanted to get out of funding. Even France could be no binding financing commitment. A decision was not made until the summer of 1969: the particle accelerator should not be built. It wasn't until 1989 that CERN actually built a particle accelerator with the LEP - albeit at the CERN headquarters in Geneva .

Major airport

In 1970, the southern Münsterland was chosen as the location for a third airport in North Rhine-Westphalia (besides Düsseldorf and Cologne-Bonn) because the previous airports were reaching their capacity limits and the Münsterland, southern Lower Saxony and Westphalia-Lippe were not sufficiently connected to the air traffic network were. This 2000 hectare airport was to be built between Drensteinfurt, Sendenhorst and Albersloh . 250 million DM were estimated for the construction, in the final stage even 1.1 billion DM. In 1990 a second stage with an additional runway should have been built. In January 1973, however, this project was also rejected by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia for financial reasons. The main reason for the failure of the project, however, was the veto of the British Army on the Rhine . During the Cold War, the Münsterland was criss-crossed by numerous low flight aisles.

Automobile race track

After the proton accelerator and the major airport, a third project became very concrete in 1971: The Münsterlandring car racing track was to be built on the Drensteinfurt urban area due to the advantages of the location (good transport connections). The Münsterlandring GmbH , founded especially for this by a Münster automobile club, was entrusted with the planning of the project. In addition to a car and motorcycle racing track, a horse racing track was also to be built. But even this ambitious project died before it could be implemented due to insufficient funding.

(Core) power plant

Since the mid-1970s, space in the municipality of Drensteinfurt was earmarked for the construction of a conventional or nuclear power plant. In 1977 the Council said that these plans could only be approved "if the population is not expected to be endangered". The concrete consequences of the planning are not known. After the German nuclear phase-out in 2011, however, this project was also obsolete.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1969, the parishes of Drensteinfurt and Walstedde were integrated into the city. Rinkerode followed on January 1, 1975. In the event that the planned airport was built, Drensteinfurt, Albersloh, Rinkerode and Sendenhorst would have been merged to form a larger city of Drensteinfurt.

archive

During the Second World War, Drensteinfurt was hit by bomb attacks. In addition to the residential buildings, a bomb attack also destroyed the official building in Drensteinfurt and with it all records from before 1944. Since 2002 the archive of the city of Drensteinfurt has been in the district central archive in Warendorf . This means that the city's archives came to the central archive in Warendorf relatively late.

traffic

Train station with commuter parking

In the north-south direction, Drensteinfurt is crossed by the Münster – Hamm railway, serving the Drensteinfurt, Rinkerode and Mersch stations by local trains and the almost parallel federal highway 54 . Together with the bus stops in the city, Drensteinfurt is connected to the Münsterland transport association in this way . The RE 7 and RB 69/89 trains stop at Drensteinfurt station.

The B 58 runs through the city in an east-west direction . A bypass road, which was inaugurated in 1988, no longer leads through the town, but is guided past the town on the east tangent. This resulted in a clear calming of the inner city area.

The B 63 begins in Drensteinfurt and leads to Wickede (Ruhr) via Hamm and Werl .

In less than ten minutes you can reach the Ascheberg junction (79) of the A 1 (Dortmund - Bremen) via the federal highway 58 . At the Münster-Süd motorway junction it is possible to reach the A 43 (Münster - Wuppertal). The A 2 (Oberhausen - Berlin) can be reached via the Kamener Kreuz or via the Beckum junction.

Drensteinfuhrt is connected to the 100-Schlösser-Route and Werse Rad Weg bike trails .

tourism

Two Münsterland cycle routes run through Drensteinfurt: the Werse Rad Weg and the 100-Schlösser-Route . There are four moated castles in the Drensteinfurt area: Haus Bisping , Haus Borg , Haus Steinfurt and Haus Venne .

Local businesses

The largest private employer is Klein GmbH & Co. KG, founded in 1963, which specializes in the preparation of poultry meat and is the market leader there in Germany. 60 employees work at the company's headquarters in Drensteinfurt. Annual sales of 30 million euros are assumed.

The largest industrial employer is Umformtechnik Merten & Storck GmbH, which was founded in 1904 as the Merten & Storck enamelling factory.
Another large employer is the Drensteinfurter Transport und Speditions GmbH & Co. KG, founded in 1978 with a fleet of vehicles that specialize in long-distance tanker transport.
Lancier Cable GmbH has been based in Drensteinfurt since the end of January 2008 (previously in Münster-Wolbeck ). It mainly produces machines for power line construction.

39 companies are located in the 24.6  hectare Viehfeld industrial park in the south of the city, and together employ around 550 people.

In September 2012, the council and main committee instructed the city administration to terminate the concession contracts with RWE and the Münster municipal utilities due to the operation of the power grid on December 31, 2014. According to this, the city aims to direct the power supply network through its own limited liability company, which it controls.
