Achmer is the largest district in terms of area in Bramsche. It is characterized by the Hase, the Mittelland Canal and the Achmer airfield . Achmer borders in the north on Bramsche Mitte, in the west on Ueffeln and in the south on Pente.

The former municipality of Achmer consisted of the districts Laberge, Wackum, Tömmern, Hemke, Grünegras and Westerhausen and had an area of ​​28.29 km². Place name interpretation: In 1160 a "Lachenbure" of unknown location was recorded, in 1186 an "Achenbure". Possibly it was the same settlement. Lache, also Lake, is a shallow place, a pool of water. An Ache is a (mountain) river, especially in southern Germany. Bure means peasantry .

Bramsche (middle)

Church of St. Martin in the center of the village

The district of Bramsche includes the town of Bramsche, which was independent before the territorial reform in 1971/1972. A distinction is commonly made between the city center, Gartenstadt and Bramscher Berg districts. The Hasesee, which serves as a local recreation area, is located between the city districts. The three districts together make up Bramsche-Mitte with around 14,000 inhabitants. The local mayor of Bramsche Mitte has been Peter Remme (SPD) since 2007. The Bramsche-Mitte area is also the location of the Bramsche secondary school.

Narrower

This district was first mentioned in 1147. Engter is located in the southeast of Bramsche and borders on the districts of Kalkriese, Schleptrup, Lappenstuhl and Evinghausen. 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 was the Engter primary and secondary school, which was converted into a primary school with a kindergarten at the beginning of the 2013/2014 school year.

Epe (Epe painting garden)

The Darnsee in Epe

Epe is located in the northeast of the city of Bramsche. It consists of the settlement areas Bühren, Knäppen, Epe, Malgarten, Eckelort and Wittenfelde. The western border to the districts of Hesepe and Sögeln largely forms the Hase. In the north Epe borders on the district of Rieste, in the northeast on Vörden, in the east on the districts of Engter and Schleptrup and in the south on the district of Bramsche. With the Lower Saxony regional reform in 1972, the formerly independent municipality of Epe became a district of the city of Bramsche.

The district of Epe has a size of about 1450 ha and thus belonged to the larger rural communities of the former Bersenbrück district. Today, as in the past, Epe was and is characterized by agriculture. In 1987, of a total of 41 agricultural holdings, 17 were full-time farmers, 7 part-time farmers and 17 part-time farmers. Epe is a residential area of ​​the city of Bramsche and has few commercial enterprises. Employers are a textile company, two hotels, two locksmiths and metal construction companies, two haulage companies and a house installation company.

Public facilities are the primary school, the community center with a meeting room, the fire station and the gym, sports and tennis courts. In addition, the Bramscher Realschule and the Greselius Gymnasium, named after Jakobus Greselius , the Bramscher indoor swimming pool and a waterworks for the city of Osnabrück are located in the Eper area .

Of the 1324 inhabitants in 1989, 857 belonged to the Evangelical Lutheran, 420 to the Catholic and 47 to any other or no denomination. The Evangelical Lutheran Christians belong to the St. John's parish in Bramsche-Gartenstadt and the Catholics to the St. Johannes parish in Malgarten. The local mayor of Epe-Malgarten has been Volker Stuckenberg (SPD) since 2016.

In Epe, in a nature reserve, lies the Darnsee, the largest natural lake in the Osnabrück region. On the east bank it has been used as a natural swimming pool since the 1930s.

Evinghausen

Evinghausen is a farming community in the south-east of Bramsche around the Venner Berg and is the seat of the Evinghausen Free Waldorf School . V. The Uptrup peasantry with 42 inhabitants is part of Evinghausen.

Hesepe

In 1187 Hesepe was first mentioned in a document. It was only after the Second World War that a widely scattered farming settlement became a more densely populated settlement. Hesepe is on the B 68 and B 218 as well as on the Bremen – Osnabrück rail traffic. Dutch soldiers were stationed in Hesepe until the end of the 1980s. After their departure, the area, which was no longer used by the military, was used as a border transit camp for ethnic German repatriates . In the meantime it was a state reception center for Jewish contingent refugees and repatriates. Then it became the Lower Saxony competence center for voluntary departure. Rejected asylum seekers and other foreigners who are obliged to leave the country were accommodated there, as well as Iraqi refugees while participating in three-month language courses. Since May 2014 it has been an initial reception center for the state of Lower Saxony.

Kalkriese

Reconstructed walls of the Varus Battle near Kalkriese

Geologically, a Kalkriese is a larger rock standing limestone . The place named after such a limestone giant, the Kalkrieser Berg , is probably the most famous district of Bramsche.

He achieved fame in the 1990s when the results of archaeological excavations indicated that the or parts of the Varus Battle took place in Kalkriese. The Kalkriese discovery region extends over many kilometers. The finds and their replicas are exhibited in the Kalkriese Museum and Park .

Rag chair

Lappenstuhl was founded in 1952 as a new settlement and is the youngest district of Bramsche.

The name Lappenstuhl is derived from the name Graf Lamprechts Richtstuhl . It was first mentioned in documents in 1402. It was a field name for the place where the settlement was founded.

The refugees and displaced persons arriving from the East German areas at the end of the Second World War caused a housing shortage in the parish of Engter . Since there were no building plots for sale in the communities of Engter , Schleptrup and Kalkriese , negotiations were made with the landlord Hugo Baron von Bar about parcels in the Lappenstuhl area, which was then a forest area.

With the support of the state parliament member Ernst Bettermann ( SPD ) from Rieste , an agreement was reached on the purchase of 65.94 hectares . Ernst-Bettermann-Platz was later laid out in honor of Ernst Bettermann. On April 9, 1952, the plots were assigned to the first building applicants. On December 4th 1952 there was electricity in Lappenstuhl for the first time. On June 15, 1958, the first settlers' festival took place in Lappenstuhl. It is celebrated annually to this day.

Since Lappenstuhl is on the districts of the communities Engter and Schleptrup , both communities were also responsible for the political affairs of the settlement. On September 21, 1990, the Lappenstuhl e. V. to submit an application to the city council for a local councilor for Lappenstuhl . After a long, heated discussion, the city council decided on March 14, 1991 to approve this proposal. On October 6, 1991, the first local councilor Lappenstuhl was elected. The first local mayor was Walter vor den Tharen (SPD), and Annette Marewitz (SPD) has been the local mayor since 2010.

Since there was no easy way for Lappenstuhl's school-age children to reach the elementary school in Engter in the 1950s, a separate school building was built. The foundation stone was laid on July 17, 1954. On January 8, 1955, 33 children were able to attend school for the first time.

In April 1964, the 5th to 8th grades were moved to Engter and a regular bus service was set up. In the course of the school reform , the school in Lappenstuhl was closed on March 5, 1973. Today the Arbeiterwohlfahrt operates a kindergarten in the building. It was extensively renovated and rebuilt in 2003.

A church was already planned in the development plan of January 31, 1955. The history of the Thomas Chapel began in Voltlage after the Second World War . A diaspora chapel was built with the help of a donation from American Lutheranism in order to be able to offer church support to the evangelical expellees living there . In 1968, however, most of the expellees had emigrated, so that the chapel was no longer needed. In June / July 1970 dismantling began. Until the reconstruction, the individual parts were stored on the new property in Lappenstuhl. Over a year later on August 1, 1970, the chapel was consecrated again. Since the inhabitants of the settlement had in the meantime strongly doubted “whether a chapel would ever be built out of the pile of boards”, it was named after the incredulous Thomas .

Malgarten (Epe Malgarten)

Exterior view of the monastery church in Malgarten

In 1170 the Malgarten Benedictine monastery was founded in a castle . In the monastery church there is a late baroque stucco relief that adorns all the vaults inside the church .

The Malgarten Monastery became the seat of the Vörden Office in Malgarten in 1819 . The remaining five nuns were accepted in Osnabrück. The Vörden office in Malgarten existed until 1885, the year the district of Bersenbrück was founded, in which it was expanded.

The former monastery complex, which can be visited, has developed into a small center for art and culture .

Pension

The history of the Pente district, at least as far as territorial sovereignty is concerned, has always been associated with Bramsche. Originally, Bramsche was dependent on the Penter farmers. because it did not have its own field mark. Due to the lack of land of their own, the Bramsch villagers kept their sheep grazing in the Pen area, planted around the area of ​​today's market square in Bramsche's city center and set up fences. Although this area was legally part of Pente at the time, there were constant disputes for a long time. Only in the 19th century was this settled through a settlement, which, however, was associated with not inconsiderable assignments of territory to Bramsche for the Penter. In the period that followed, Pente was unable to oppose the expansion of the industrial city of Bramsche. For example, with the construction of the Mittelland Canal in 1911, Pente lost another large area to Bramsche. The closure of the 250-year-old Penter School in 1975 also symbolizes this development. The incorporation of Pentes by the city of Bramsche in 1972 had already been mapped out for centuries.

Nevertheless, the district convinces with its quiet location on the Mittelland Canal / branch canal Osnabrück and simultaneous connection to the city center of Bramsche and the B68, which leads directly to Osnabrück.

Pente is known for the brick factory Penter Klinker, which delivers its products (today only pavers) to Mallorca and Asia.

Schleptrup has belonged to the Engter parish since 1229 ; it is one of the oldest pre-Franconian settlements in the region and is the earliest mentioned Bramsch district. About 60% of the population are refugees or descendants of refugees from the former German eastern regions. In the Schleptrup area on the Schleptruper Egge there is a 234 m high transmission mast operated by the NDR , which catches the eye of travelers on the Federal Motorway 1 from afar. The basic supply of the Osnabrück region , large parts of the northern Münsterland and the southern parts of the Oldenburger Münsterland with analog radio programs and television programs in DVB-T standard is ensured via this transmitter mast .

Gate entrance to the manor house of Gut Sögeln

Sögeln is a farming community in the north of Bramsche, west of the manor of the same name.

A locked for public transport lime avenue leading to the manor, the two moats surrounded, which are fed by the Sögelner hare. The main house from the end of the 18th century is a functionally simple, two-storey building with three wings. It was built on the site of a castle that was first mentioned in the 14th century. The oldest part of the still standing complex is the gate tower with loopholes on the ground floor, the baroque tower dome with the clock dates from the 18th century. The manor Sögeln often changed hands. It was owned by the von Braken (1323), von Ledebur (from 1350), von Knehem (from 1426), von Langen (1590–1750), von der Horst (1750–1792), von Hammerstein (1793–1817) families , Rathgen (1817–1846), von Stoltzenberg (1846–1871) and von Rappard (1871–1995). It is currently owned by the Bock and Polach families .

In 1793 Friedrich Philipp von Hammerstein zu Equord bought the estate and had the main house rebuilt. After he died in 1802, heavily in debt and without a direct heir, the property was acquired by the general tax collector Rathgen in 1817. The property passed through his stepdaughter to the von Rappard family, whose descendants are the current owners, the von Bock and Polach families . Around 1870 the young Prussian lieutenant Paul von Hindenburg visited the estate more often. The later Reich President was engaged to Irmengard von Rappard, who died in 1871 at the age of 17.

Ueffeln

Ueffeln is a district in the northwest of the city. Located on the edge of the Gehns , the village has around 1200 inhabitants today. Ueffeln was first mentioned in 1292 in connection with the consecration of today's Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Mary .

There is a megalithic grave near the outskirts , which indicates an early settlement. In the local elementary school, the children are taught up to the 4th grade; all secondary schools are in the Bramsche district. For sports fans, the place offers a sports field, a solar-heated outdoor pool and a shooting range.

Ueffeln is on the street of the megalithic culture .

climate

Bramsche is located in the temperate climate zone, influenced by wet north-westerly winds from the North Sea. On a long-term average, the air temperature in Bramsche reaches 10-14 degrees and around 700 mm of precipitation falls. Between May and August, an average of 30 to 35 summer days (days on which the temperature exceeds 25 degrees) can be expected. During this time, temperatures can often rise above 32 degrees. At night in summer temperatures often do not drop below 15–20 degrees, which was the case in 2003, 2006, 2011 and 2013 for several weeks. Summers can be both very dry and very rainy. Due to the special location between Wiehengebirge and Gehn, the city is often spared from storms. The air is very humid in summer and only very dry in easterly winds. Since Bramsche is in the transition zone to the continental climate, winters can also be very cold and snowy.

history

Most likely, the so-called battle of the Teutoburg Forest took place in the Kalkriese district in 9 AD. Since 1987, systematic scientific excavations have been carried out there. In addition to evidence of a massive military conflict between Teutons and Romans , the remains of a rampart were also found. Since no finds in connection with the warlike events of a later date than the battle have been secured, it is very likely that the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest or the Varus Battle actually took place here. Since 1993 there has been a museum in Bramsche / Kalkriese in which many of the most interesting finds are exhibited.

The village formation of Bramsche goes back to the time of Charlemagne (768–814). Bramsche was first mentioned in a document in 1097 as a parish (parochia) under the name Bramezche (formed from the words Bram = thorn bushes / later broom and Esch = field). In 1225, Bramsche came under the control of the Osnabrück Monastery as a gift from King Heinrich (VII) . Since 1615/1617 Flecken , Bramsche has been elevated to a soft picture by decree of the Royal British-Hanoverian Government in Osnabrück . In 1929 Bramsche received full city ​​rights .

Cloth maker museum

In the Middle Ages , Bramsche achieved its economic importance, mainly due to its centuries-old tradition as the city of cloth makers. Today the Clothmaker's Museum commemorates this tradition . Osnabrück's great son Justus Möser made great contributions to the cloth makers' guild by drawing up a new guild order in 1767. At his instigation, the Bramsch cloth makers received an interest-free loan to build an urgently needed warehouse. When almost all of the supplies fell victim to a conflagration in 1781 , it was again Möser who provided a loan through a personal guarantee in order to overcome this crisis. In 2002 the city of Bramsche honored his services by naming a square and a path after his name.

On March 30, 1933, the town hall was occupied by the SA . The following day, Mayor Heinrich Beerbom was summoned to the town hall as the local group leader of the NSDAP, who explained to him that he had been deposed by the district president, Bernhard Eggers . The local group leader of the NSDAP August Gausmann was provisionally the new mayor, from 1934 then officially. With the lie that he held the post of honor without pay, the strongly social democratic city should be convinced of the "good character" of the impeachment.

On the morning of November 13, 1972, the Quimburga hurricane caused enormous damage in Bramsche as well. The total amount of damage in Bramsche was around 1 million DM. Almost every second household in the city suffered storm damage.

Belonging to higher regional authorities

In the time of the Landdrostei Osnabrück , Bramsche belonged to the Vörden office from 1852 to 1885 . This was in 1885 in the district Bersenbrück the administrative district of Osnabrück in the Prussian province of Hannover on. With the establishment of the state of Lower Saxony in 1946, the district became a Lower Saxony administrative district. Bramsche belonged to the district of Bersenbrück until June 30, 1972. Like all municipalities in this district and the former Wittlage and Melle districts , Bramsche was added to the Osnabrück district on July 1, 1972. From 1978 to 2004 Bramsche was a town in the Lower Saxony administrative district Weser-Ems , which, like all administrative districts in Lower Saxony, was dissolved in 2004.

On January 1, 1971, the neighboring municipality of Achmer was incorporated. On July 1, 1972, Balkum, Engter, Epe, Evinghausen, Hesepe, Kalkriese, Pente, Schleptrup, Sögeln and Ueffeln were added.

The building is an early Gothic single-nave three-bay church with a straight, closed choir. The tower is on the western front. Particularly noteworthy are the fantastic sculptures surrounding the former main entrance, probably a warning to those who walk through the church that they should not surrender to worldly lust and sin. The Reformation was introduced in Üffeln in 1543.
  • St. Johannis , Engter, 1229, ev.-luth., Originally also belonging to the Bramsch parish, Engter received the permission to build his own church in 1229, since the flood of the Hase often made it impossible to visit the church, the Hase had to go to it Time to be crossed in the ford. The church was dedicated to St. Johannes Evangelista and was run as a branch church from Bramsche. The construction of the building falls during the Romanesque-Gothic transition period. It has a single nave, two-bay nave with a choir that just ends, the tower is on the western front. Tower and nave seem to be of the same age, the choir a bit older.

  • Hesepe Castle, probably mentioned for the first time (the assignment is not clear) in 1402, was also called Holginck. Hesepe was an estate eligible for Landtag with successes in ownership: von Horne, von Swartewold, von Stempel, von Knehem, von Bar, Kayser (hence also Kayserburg), Cavemann, Beckmann (hence also Beckmannsburg), Pöppe. The now existing rural house dates from the years 1762 to 1770 and has been rebuilt several times. It bears the owner's coat of arms above the entrance.

additional

  • Alte Post, half-timbered - Dielenhaus with Utlucht . Hermann Rudolf Pörtener (1650–1716) had his parents' house rebuilt and enlarged in 1686–1688, as it can essentially still be seen today. Presumably, the building served as a post office for the post office line from Osnabrück via Lingen to Amsterdam, built in 1685 . The soap boiler Heinrich Wilbrandt Pörtener (1759–1828) was first mentioned in a document in 1818 as a royal Hanoverian postal forwarder and post keeper. In 1929 the town of Bramsche acquired the property, which has been a listed building since 1910 , and is now used as a restaurant.
  • Bramsche branch of the Kreissparkasse Bersenbrück . Große Straße / confluence with Münster Straße. Two-storey solid building with hipped roof and gabled central axis, probably from the first half of the 19th century.
Cenotaph on the Bramscher Berg
  • Cenotaph on the Bramscher Berg, the highest point in this city. Planned by the Bramsch architect Friedrich Schroeder, inaugurated on August 26, 1934, commemorates the 167 soldiers who fell in Bramsch in the First World War . Later, the plaques originally on the memorial in front of the Martinskirche with the names of the Bramsch soldiers who fell in the Franco-German War (1870/71) were also attached. The memorial on the church square was removed in the 1960s. After extensive renovation work, the 28 meter high observation tower has been freely accessible to the general public again since 2003. To this day, there is no memorial for those who died in Bramsch in World War II.
