history
First mention
In 1040 Holthausen was first mentioned as the official court of the Munster monastery of Überwasser . In the oldest records of the monastery income it can be read that 13 hereditary farms belonged to Holthausen, 3 of which were in the local area.
Knight of Holthusen
The knight family von Holthusen had their seat here. They were ministerials and administrative officials of the monastery Überwasser in Münster and administered the important property of the monastery in Holthausen. The first documented evidence of the "Knights of Holthusen" dates from 1177 in which Knight Walthard von Holthusen is named. The first written mention of the parish of Holthausen comes from the year 1265. A castle also belonged to the Holthausen estate. The entire property was later donated to the Überwasser monastery by two nuns from the von Holthusen knightly family. As a result, the head of the monastery became the mistress of the castle in Holthausen and often resided there, for example during the Anabaptist period . The old castle was later laid down by the abbess von Vincke and replaced by a new one. In 1773 the Überwasser monastery was closed. The castle and the estate were given to the University of Münster for study purposes. Now the castle and estate were leased separately. The castle was finally demolished at the beginning of the 19th century. The last remains of the foundations and outer walls of the castle complex were not removed until around 1950.
Looting and Fire
In the course of the Dutch War of Independence against the Spaniards (1568–1648), the village and church were sacked by the Spaniards in 1590. Holthausen experienced another disaster in 1771, when almost all houses were destroyed by a large fire.
Office and community
The official constitution was introduced with the rural community order for Westphalia of October 31, 1841. An administrative district (Amt) was formed from several municipalities under one bailiff . The provisions of the French constitution that were valid up to that point were no longer in force and the Laer mayor's office became the “ Laer Office ” consisting of the municipalities of Laer and Holthausen.
In 1850 Holthausen was merged with Laer to form a joint municipality that had its own representative; however, both parishes each retained their own individual parish councils.
On July 1, 1969, the Laer office with the municipalities of Laer and Holthausen was dissolved. According to the law on the reorganization of municipalities in the district of Steinfurt, both municipalities merged to form a municipality of Laer, which was free of any office.
