history

Castle and St. Boniface Church (2014)

Freckenhorst was first mentioned in a document in 851. In the same year, the nobleman Everword and his wife Geva founded the Freckenhorst canonical monastery. The first abbess was Thiatildis , a niece of the founder couple used. The monastery, which owned large estates, gained considerable power and influence over the years. The settlement of Freckenhorst had developed on the edge and under the protection of the monastery.

In 1116, a major fire raged in Freckenhorst , which also destroyed the church. A new collegiate church was built using older parts of the building. It was inaugurated in 1129 by Egbert , Bishop of Münster, and has been preserved. In 1495 the Kanonissenstift was converted into a free worldly women's monastery. In 1538 the Münster prince-bishop Franz von Waldeck asked the abbess Agnes to hand over the Anabaptists who were hiding in Freckenhorst .

When the plague broke out again in Warendorf in 1616 , the Freckenhorst abbess forbade the villagers to buy bread, oil, herrings and other goods in Warendorf. Because there were protests from Warendorf, she justified the measure with the fact that the bread “at Freckenhorst is just as good as it should be baked in Warendorf” and that “the air in Warendorf is infected because of the plague”. In 1623 the important abbess Agnes von Limburg-Stirum made sure that farmers in the parish did not have to pay any taxes. In 1631 handicrafts and trades flourished in the community, which gradually expanded around the aristocratic women's monastery. 1637, d. H. During the Thirty Years' War , a battle between the league general Alexander II von Velen and Hessian soldiers took place near Freckenhorst . About 150 to 200 soldiers were involved on both sides. General von Velen was able to wipe out the opposing troops almost completely. Likewise, in 1645 there was a bloody clash between the residents of Freckenhorst and those of Hoetmar and Enniger , in which several deaths were to be lamented. The point of contention was the use of the Hoetmar mark . The collegiate church was devastated: images of saints were scattered around the church as a result of looting, the prayer crypt served as a beer cellar and the roof was repaired with tin candlesticks. The spiritual life also died out: the collegiate dean lived with a woman, the nuns did not even know when they visited, whether they had taken the required oath of faith. In 1654, after the end of the war, the abbess granted tailors and shoemakers, as well as joiners, carpenters, cooper, plowmakers, turners and cloth makers the right to guild .

In 1740 the abbess Clara Franziska von Westerholt-Lembeck had the abbey building, today's castle, rebuilt by the Paderborn court architect Franz Christoph Nagel . In 1750 a terrible cattle epidemic raged in Freckenhorst . To transport the dead animals away, the community acquired a specially made sledge. To avert the epidemic, the dean ordered a special devotion. On October 10, 1776, the future bishop of Münster, Bernard Georg Kellermann , was born in Freckenhorst. His path led from parish dean at St. Ludgeri in Münster to work as cathedral preacher and professor of exegesis to canon. On December 10, 1846, Kellermann was elected bishop in Münster, but died before the consecration, on March 29, 1847.

Until 1793 Therese-Louise von Haxthausen , mother of the poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff , and then her half-sister Dorothea von Haxthausen, married Wolff-Metternich , were canons in Freckenhorst. In 1795 a famine broke out in Freckenhorst. It was so bad that on March 7th, the community leader pleaded with the abbess of the monastery to save the residents from starvation. In 1802 Freckenhorst became a titular town without any actual town charter .

Until the beginning of the 19th century, Wigbold and the parish Freckenhorst belonged to the monastery of Münster and were subordinate to the Sassenberg office. The Wigbold comprised 1786 together with the pin 253 houses, the Parish with the Bauerschaften 83 houses Flintrup, Grone Horst, Hohenhorst and Walgern and Hegern. In 1803, large parts of the dissolved bishopric or prince-bishopric of Münster were assigned to the King of Prussia in the main Imperial Deputation. In the Peace of Tilsit (1807), Prussia ceded the Principality of Münster , including Freckenhorst, to Napoleon , who in 1808 assigned it to the Grand Duchy of Berg, which had been newly established two years earlier . Freckenhorst belonged to the canton of Warendorf in the Ems department (reclassified to the Ruhr department in 1811 ). After the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig and the withdrawal of the French from the areas on the right bank of the Rhine, the region became part of the Kingdom of Prussia, initially provisionally and on the basis of the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna (1815) .

In 1803, King Friedrich Wilhelm III. the Freckenhorst Abbey into a pension institution for noble women of all Christian denominations. On August 13, 1811, the monastery was secularized . This year the monastery included the abbey with 900 acres of land, around 15 rental houses in Freckenhorst, around 250 inheritance farms, around 20 fiefdoms, numerous leased fields, gardens, cottages and forests. The entire property was confiscated and the abbey's inventory was auctioned to the highest bidder.

In 1820 a contemporary report said about linen weaving: “The number of linen weavers has almost decreased by 120 since 1811; this, however, has no connection with the change in the guild and guild system, but rather stems from the fact that the linen trade has been completely down for some time ”. In 1824 there was again a famine in parts of the Münsterland. In Freckenhorst, two thirds of the population were dependent on poor relief. In 1827 the royal government of Münster sold the abbey with all its goods and land of 927 acres for 50,000 thalers to Lieutenant Colonel Zühleke. In 1841 the abbey became the property of the Count of Merveldt .

On the evening of November 23, 1848, around 100 men "armed" with clubs and sticks marched through the village and tried to break the door of the police man's door. The bailiff asked the district administrator to send at least two police officers in case the "excesses" should repeat themselves.

In 1899 the Westfälische Landes-Eisenbahn (WLE), which was previously mostly active in the Sauerland, also built several routes in the Münsterland. The Neubeckum - Ennigerloh- Wollenhorst-Warendorf railway line was opened in sections from 1899 to 1901.

In 1913 Theodor Kreimer set up a mechanical company for high-quality plush production. At first, furniture plush and bed surrounds were mainly made using velor technology. After the Second World War , the company switched to the production of carpets. In 1954 the Catholic rural community college "Schorlemer Alst" , which was founded in 1949 by leading men and women from the diocese of Münster , the rural professional organizations of the Münsterland and the Catholic rural youth movement, moved into its own house on the outskirts of Freckenhorst.

On January 1, 1969, the parish parish Freckenhorst was incorporated. On July 1, 1969, the neighboring municipality of Hoetmar followed.

Freckenhorst was incorporated into the city of Warendorf on January 1, 1975 by the Münster / Hamm Act . In 1981 the Freckenhorster hospital was closed. In 2001 anniversary celebrations took place to mark the 1150th anniversary.

The colors of the coat of arms are taken from the coat of arms of the Hochstift Münster .
