Waters
Hörsteler Aa
The Dreierwalder Aa bears the section name Hörsteler Aa in Hörstel and its farmers. At Gravenhorst it enters the local area, takes the Jordanbach coming from the north from Püsselbüren and the Stollenbach and then crosses under the Mittelland Canal with a culvert . During the Second World War, this culvert was a target of British bomber forces in 1944 and 1945. After the Mittelland Canal, the direction of flow changes from west to north and the Löhne – Rheine railway line is crossed and the eastern settlement areas of the core town flow through. After the bridge with the Tecklenburger Northern Railway crossed the Aa, the flow direction changes again to the west and the Aa leaves at the former air base , the local area.
Mittelland Canal
Shortly after the start of the Mittelland Canal at the Nassen Dreieck , the Mittelland Canal enters the local area north of the Million Bridge. The Hörstel security gate is located between the million-dollar bridge and the bridge on federal highway 30 , which can prevent the canal from draining completely in an emergency by lowering it.
Shortly after the motorway bridge, the canal swiveled into the now partially filled "old route" until the end of the 1980s. The new journey, also known as the “Hörstel pierce”, now only leads to the port in Uffeln with a smaller curve radius, where he is led back into his old bed.
Ibbenbüren branch canal
The last section of the Ibbenbüren branch canal (SKI) from the turning basin to the railway embankment belongs to the Hörstel area. The old passage of the Mittelland Canal located behind the embankment has meanwhile been designated as a nature reserve ST-128 "Alte Fahrt" with an area of 29.64 hectares.
Herthasee
To the north of the local area is Lake Herthasee, which is used as a campsite and is bordered to the south by the Bodelschwingh tunnel .
history
Hörstel, first mentioned in a document in 1234, was a parish of Riesenbeck until the 19th century and shares its history. Hörstel also became part of the County of Tecklenburg through the acquisition of the Osnabrück high bailiwick in 1236 by Count Otto I of Tecklenburg . The Gravenhorst monastery near Hörstel was established by the Mecklenburg ministerial Konrad von Brochterbeck in 1256 .
In 1400 the then falls peasantry Hörstel to the Bishopric of Münster . This was the result of ongoing disputes between Count Nikolaus II of Tecklenburg and the powerful neighbors Münster and Osnabrück. In 1803 Hörstel was attached to the Kingdom of Prussia and returned to the Tecklenburger Land after Napoleonic rule in 1816 with the establishment of the Tecklenburg district .
On April 1, 1900, the political dependency on Riesenbeck ended and the new municipality of Hörstel was created, which was still part of the Riesenbeck district. The trigger for the independence of the peasantry into a municipality was the economic development and the resulting increase in population. The most important factor here was the opening of the Osnabrück-Ibbenbüren-Rheine railway line and the construction of the station in Hörstel in 1856. On April 1, 1932, a sub-area (4.20 km²) was ceded to the neighboring municipality of Dreierwalde. The St. Antonius Hospital was inaugurated in 1932 as a general hospital for the place. On May 17, 1974, the hospital was converted into a special psychiatric hospital. After expansions in 1988 and 1998, it is now an Alexian site for the treatment of addictions.
Today's town of Hörstel was created on January 1, 1975 through the merger of the previous town of Bevergern with the municipalities of Dreierwalde , Hörstel and Riesenbeck . An area of the former municipality of Rheine on the right of the Ems of 3.00 km², on which 212 people lived at that time, was added. The district of Bevergern brought in the town charter, which was documented on July 25, 1366 by Nikolaus Graf zu Tecklenburg and his son Otto .
