Narrower
Engter is a district of the town of Bramsche in Lower Saxony .
history
A large stone grave and finds of fire urns prove that the area was settled in the early Stone Age , but also in the later Bronze and Iron Ages.
The village of Engter was first mentioned in 1147 as "Engthere" in a document from the Bishop of Osnabrück and in 1183 as "Engethere". The name could refer to "narrow", ie narrow place, but more likely to "Eng", from "Ang", equal to "wet meadow".
Engter and the neighboring districts belonged to the parish Bramsche until 1229, when a separate church was built in Engter. The districts of Kalkriese, Schleptrup, Lappenstuhl and Evinghausen belong to the parish of St. Johannis . In Engter there is a primary and secondary school in Engter.
On July 1, 1972, Engter was incorporated into the city of Bramsche.
Today around 2,400 people live in the district.
