Flaesheim ( flaːshaim ) ( Low German : Flaosem) is a district of the town of Haltern am See in North Rhine-Westphalia with 1918 inhabitants (December 2019).

The surrounding area is characterized by the Haard forest in the south, the Wesel-Datteln Canal and the Lippe in the north; various agricultural areas are in the vicinity.

Due to the geographical location on the border between the Ruhr area and Münsterland , the regional allocation is controversial. Because Flaesheim is a part of Vest Recklinghausen , because of its historical affiliation to the Archdiocese of Cologne (today in the Diocese of Münster ) and its location south of the Lippe, it is historically part of the Ruhr area.

The place is on the northern edge of the Ruhr area in the valley of the Lippe and north of the Haard.

Townscape

Flaesheim essentially consists of three settlement areas: in the west the Flaesheim-Dorf peasantry, in the center the main town Flaesheim (or Flaesheim-Stift based on the former Flaesheim monastery) and in the east the peasantry Westleven.

Due to the good connection to the A 43 and A 52 as well as a shortage of local jobs, Flaesheim has developed into a commuter village. On the other hand, many people from the Ruhr area in particular spend their free time here, be it on day trips to the nearby Haard or to relax for longer on one of the campsites.

Local life is managed by local clubs such as the SuS Concordia Flaesheim 1969 e. V. (whose women's football department merged in 1999 with the women's football department of Rot-Weiß Hillen to form the independent Bundesliga club FFC Flaesheim-Hillen ), the Bürgererschützenverein 1899/1952 e. V., the Heimatverein, the Flaesheim volunteer fire brigade and their marching band .

history

The first Germanic settlement and grave finds date from around 9 AD. In the period between 700 and 720 the Saxons were in the area of ​​today's Flaesheim; this is evidenced by the discovery of pagan graves near the collegiate church.

In 1166, Count Otto I von Ravensberg founded the Flaesheim Monastery . The first nuns came from the Rhenish Knechtsteden and were according to the rule of St. Augustine called Premonstratensian women.

After Count Otto II von Ravensberg renounced the Flaesheim monastery, it became the property of the Archbishop of Cologne .

The abbess Maria von Ketteler donated a new high altar to the Flaesheim monastery , designed by the sculptor Gerhard Gröninger from Münster .

A school was first mentioned in 1717. At first it was a pure parish school, but in 1799 the construction of a school building began.

In 1803 the Flaesheim Monastery became the property of the Duke of Arenberg , who dissolved it in 1808.

Flaesheim has had its own volunteer fire brigade since October 17, 1920. The electricity came to Flaesheim in 1922, and on June 14, 1939 Flaesheim's coat of arms was established.

The municipality of Flaesheim has been part of the city of Haltern since January 1st, 1975.
