history

Friedrichsdorf was founded in 1786 in the Große Heide , an unpopulated heathland east of the Avenwedde farmers at the intersection of two country roads. The name refers to the sovereign, the Osnabrück prince-bishop Friedrich August , who approved the establishment by decree of February 9, 1786. This date is considered the foundation date of the village.

The first annual fair took place in Friedrichsdorf as early as 1788. However, the economic upswing and the influx of settlers soon stalled. Instead of the planned 100 houses, ten years after its founding, the newly founded village comprised only 61 inhabited and six uninhabited houses as well as 21 building sites without buyers. In addition, in the course of the political turmoil of the Napoleonic wars, groups of robbers settled in Friedrichsdorf, benefiting from the proximity of the border between several small states. For some time they were able to sell their booty relatively unmolested on the Friedrichsdorfer Markt until they were arrested around 1801 after several spectacular raids. Even so, the village retained a bad reputation as a den of robbers and smugglers' nest well into the 19th century.

The constitution of the short-lived Napoleonic Kingdom of Westphalia in 1807 ended Friedrichsdorf's membership of the Prince Diocese of Osnabrück . The village became part of the Prussian province of Westphalia . At the regional level, it still belonged to the - now Prussian - Reckenberg Office (Wiedenbrück district) .

In 1910 Friedrichsdorf had 516 inhabitants.

In 1914 the place became part of the newly created office Avenwedde . As part of the regional reform, Friedrichsdorf and Avenwedde were incorporated into Gütersloh on January 1, 1970 .
