history

The name Glandorf is probably of Celtic origin, because Glane probably means "bright, clear, shiny, flowing"; in addition, "Glan" was part of the name of the Celtic water god Glanus or Glanos. Around the 6th century BC, the Celts were expelled by the Germans , who then settled the area. The name researcher Hermann Jellinghaus takes a different view .

“No part of old Germany between the Rhine and Elbe, i.e. precisely the area in which Celtic and Slavic place names have not yet been identified, has so many village names that defy reliable interpretation as the area of ​​the Ems and its tributaries. … Glandorf: Glanathorpe 1070. From the Glane stream flowing into the Ems. The word has been declared Celtic. But then it would not be so common: Glane near Wildeshausen and Gronau, Glanhorst, Kr. Minden, Glanemeier near Barkhausen , Kr. Wittlage , the Glenne , Kr. Lippstadt, the Glenbach im Deister . "

- Hermann Jellinghaus

Especially the frequency of the word "Glane": such as B. Glaner Braut , Glanerbeek he considers to be evidence of Germanic origin; an adjective “glan” means shiny, blinking, the associated verb is glennen-glanzen or gliman-glan-glunum. In 1872 an old Germanic burial ground, individual urns with remains of bones and burns, was excavated on the Donnerbrink. In the Middle Ages , Glandorf, like its neighboring communities Bad Iburg , Bad Laer , Glane and Remsede, belonged to the Gau Sutherberge or Suderberggau or Gau Süderberge, whose name is derived from the location south of the Osning (Teutoburg Forest). The area was first mentioned in a document from Ludwig the German dated December 8, 851, in which several farms in Laer and Erpen , named Arpingi in the document, were given to the Marienkloster in Herford : “[…] in pago, quod dictur Sutherbergi, in villa quae nuncupatur Lodre […] et in eodem pago, in villa quae vocatur Arpingi. “Lodre is today's Bad Laer, which was still written Loder or Loer into the 17th century. Glandorf was a branch of the mother parish in Laer until 1200, but by 1400 it already had a second clergyman. When the separation from Laer took place cannot be seen from the documents of the parish archives.

The name Glandorf or Glanathorpe was first mentioned in a document in 1070. According to an article in a supplement in the "Osnabrücker Volkszeitung" on August 4, 1889, the document states that the owner of the Helfer Hof in Lienen had the right to drive thirty pigs and one boar to be acorn-fed in the Glandorfer Mark.

After the Battle of Breitenfeld in 1631 , the Swedish troops occupied the Diocese of Osnabrück in the Thirty Years' War . After the Glandorf population could no longer meet the demands of the Swedish mercenaries, they set the village on fire on May 5, 1636. The event indicates an inscription carved in stone above the bride door in the church of St. Johannis . Some atrocities are said to have occurred before the fire. In the homeland novella "Schwedenchronik" from 1926, the clerical councilor Bernhard Köster said that the Swedish mercenaries crucified a daughter in the courtyard of the mayor at that time, Schultewerth, and smothered another over the hearth, and that the mayor himself gave the Swedish drink.

As part of the Diocese of Osnabrück Glandorf was 1803 after the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of King George III. slammed into the Electorate of Hanover . However, the electorate was occupied by French troops in the same year and in 1807 merged with the Kingdom of Westphalia created by Napoléon . The parish of Glandorf was now called Commune or Mairie Glandorf and belonged to the canton Ostbevern, which was subordinate to the Arrondissement Warendorf. After the collapse of the French empire, Glandorf fell to the Kingdom of Hanover in 1814 .

In 1833, emigration to North America began. The Osnabrück clergyman, high school teacher and Glandorf native Johann Wilhelm Horstmann embarked in September of that year with six other Glandorf men in the Osnabrück office of Iburg in Amsterdam, acquired land in Putnam County in December and founded the town of Glandorf (Ohio) . The wives and ten other families followed the group in 1834 and in 1835 nine more families from Glandorf joined them. The wave of emigration did not end there; it lasted until the beginning of the 20th century.

On July 1, 1972, the communities of Averfehrden, Glandorf, Remsede, Schierloh, Schwege, Sudendorf and Westendorf were incorporated into the community of Laer (from September 1, 1975 Bad Laer ). On May 1, 1981, the community of Glandorf was spun off. With the exception of Remsede, all the places that were incorporated into Laer at that time came to the municipality of Glandorf.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of the municipality of Glandorf has the shape of a shield in the colors silver and red. The Diocese of Osnabrück , to which Glandorf has belonged for centuries, uses the same colors . In the upper part of the coat of arms there is a red cross on a silver background, which is based on the church flag and represents an attribute of John the Baptist, the namesake of the Catholic Church in Glandorf.

In the lower part of the shield half you can see a silver-colored branch from which three leaves, a linden, an oak and a shamrock sprout in a fan shape. One branch should be a symbol for the fact that people of very different kinds also live together, get along fraternally and form a whole.

Urban structure

The center of the place is the Thieplatz. In the past, this is where the village's open well was located. In October 2010 the fountain redesigned by the artist Elisabeth Lumme was inaugurated above the 100 year old cistern under Thieplatz. The historical building fabric was largely preserved during the redesign. However, not all Glandorf residents agreed to the renovation of the historic water reservoir. The almost completely preserved churchyard castle borders the Thie, in the vicinity of which there are several old half-timbered houses.

The largest boulder in the Osnabrück area is set up on the B 475 in the Averfehrden district . The originally connected stone was found approx. 300 m northeast of the place of installation. A few years after the stone was moved to its current location, a wedge-shaped fragment called David came loose while the great remainder is called Goliath .

Churches

In the center of Glandorf is the Catholic parish church of St. Johannis , which was first mentioned in a document in 1275. The oldest parts of the Kirchhofsburg also date from this time. There was probably an older church elsewhere. According to the unprinted history of Glandorf's manuscript by Bernhard Köster on the original site, one possible location could have been in Westendorf.

Another Catholic church, the parish church of St. Marien, is in the Schwege district. It was built on the initiative of the teacher Mathias Niehaus, who, after taking a vow, laid out a calvary with a Way of the Cross, an olive garden and Christ's tomb. In 1863 the first chapel with a matching small tower was built on this site. Mathias Niehaus died in the same year, but his work was continued. In 1865 the Vicariate House followed and in 1866 the church was expanded without permission. Only the small tower, of which it was jokingly claimed that it would be pulled under the church roof when it rained, was only replaced by a larger tower after the First World War.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church Kripplein Christi is located in Glandorf near the Theresien-Haus. Originally it was designed by Karl Siebold from Bethel near Bielefeld as an emergency church to serve as a temporary measure for a community. It should be portable and easy to assemble and dismantle. Their lifespan was originally set at 30 to 40 years. The wooden church was first built in 1912 in Holsen-Ahle near Bünde . After almost 40 years, the dilapidated building there was supposed to be demolished, but instead it was bought by the Protestant community in 1952 and rebuilt in Glandorf on a stone foundation. The rotten wood had to be removed and the church shortened by two longitudinal segments from 450 to 300 seats.

Buildings

A gallery windmill of the Dutch design is Glandorf's landmark. It was commissioned in 1840 and was in service until 1960. The interior of the mill has been used as a registry office room since 2000.

The Theresien-Haus is the former hospital and was called Theresien-Hospital at the time. Today there is a Caritas facility for people with chronic addictions in the building.

Another attraction is the Merschmühle, which is over 750 years old and belongs to the Dallmöller family. Its water and damming rights, which are still valid today, date from around 1235. The water mill was modernized in 1989 and today supplies environmentally friendly electricity from hydropower. The water for this is supplied by the Glaner and Remseder Bach.

The weir store on the Högemann farm is also worth seeing. The building, which was formerly surrounded by a moat, consists of a massive base storey, which is a fragment of a stone work from the 14th or 15th century. The two-storey building resting on it (two later plastered half-timbered floors, faced with square hand-streaked bricks on the weather side) with a protruding roof on simple grooved lugs, was probably built in the first half of the 16th century, according to Eyinck.On the other hand, Schepers with the probably inaccurate archival dating of the half-timbered floors the year 1768.
