Surname

The name Riemsloh is derived from rimi-loh , a grove sanctified to the gods. Other interpretations such as rima , which means something like edge or border, are not excluded either.

Early history

Riemsloh grew out of a royal court that was set up during the Saxon Wars of Charlemagne to secure the Osnabrück - Herford road . In 1090 Riemsloh is said to have been raised to a parish . However, there is no documentary evidence of this. Riemsloh is first mentioned in a document in 1160.

The remains of the castle belonging to the royal court can still be found in Riemsloh today, the remains of which are known as the "Hünenburg". They clearly show the structure of the castle in front and main castle.

In the course of Christianization, the Franks laid out the Meierhof in Riemsloh on the "via-regia" (Königsstrasse between Herford and Osnabrück) in the 9th century, in order to protect the settlements that were partly in association (Drubbel). The own church belonging to the Meierhof was elevated to a parish church in 1090. Today's Catholic St. John's Church consists of a single-nave Gothic building with four rectangular nave bays, which probably dates from the end of the 15th century. There is no evidence of a previous existence. At the Meierhof (Redemeier) every Tuesday after Dionysius (October 9th) the farmers who were subordinate to a landlord (cathedral chapter of Osnabrück) gathered for the so-called Riemsloh house cooperative.

Around 1222, a separate church of the Meierhof zu Hoyel was built on the height of Hagil, today's Hoyel. The Saint Anthony Church was named after Saint Anthony .

From the 19th century

In 1853, the joint municipality of Riemsloh-Hoyel emerged from the bailiwick, consisting of the villages of Bennien, Döhren, Groß Aschen, Hoyel, Krukum, Westendorf and Westhoyel.

TSV Riemsloh was founded in 1925.
As a result of the first regional reform in 1970, the seven municipalities of the integrated municipality were merged to form the new municipality of Riemsloh, which in turn became a district of Melle on July 1, 1972 (excluding Bennien).

A larger spatial expansion of the village took place after the Second World War through the settlement of some companies for wood processing and through the designation of new residential areas, e.g. B. Eickrott, Krähenkamp, Auf dem Brinke, Zuckerkamp, Mühlenheide, Cameroon and Vicariuskamp.

The district, which was created in 1972 after the regional reform, supplies the residents as a sub-center with a school, kindergarten, open-air swimming pool, doctors, pharmacy, retail, church and citizens' office.

In 2010 Rational built-in kitchens relocated their production site. Since then, Ruwac Industriesauger GmbH has been the largest employer with 140 employees.

time of the nationalsocialism

During the time of National Socialism , the farmer Hugo Trebbe was NSDAP local group leader and head of the Riemsloh-Hoyel community. Trebbe and Wilhelm Dröge, NSDAP local group leader of Altenmelle, together led a NS show trial in Döhren in March 1941 , in which a Polish forced laborer was publicly hanged for "racial disgrace" in the forest near Riemsloh.
The Polish farm worker Józef Grześkowiak was accused of "racial disgrace" in Riemsloh in 1942, sentenced to death and executed. A memorial stone has been in memory in Melle-Riemsloh since 2013.

Furthermore, the social worker Hermann Althaus (1899-1966), SS-Oberführer from Hoyel in 1944 and Ludwig Münchmeyer (1885-1947), Protestant pastor from Borkum , who was an imperial speaker of the NSDAP, came from Berlin .

Attractions

Westhoyel windmill: The Westhoyel windmill was built in 1870. Wind power was used until around 1920, followed by various motors. In 1985 the “Association for the Restoration and Preservation of Westhoyeler Windmühle eV” was founded, which in the following years fundamentally restored the mill so that it could be put into operation again in 1990. The renovation of the miller's house was completed in 1993, and that of the bakery in 1995. Milling and baking days take place several times a year.

Atonement stone: If you come from Riemsloh via Westhoyeler Straße to “Buddenbergs Birken”, a marked hiking trail leads to the Riemsloh atonement stone, which stands on the old Riemsloher Kirchweg. This stone belongs to the group of cross stones with a round top on a rectangular or trapezoidal base. It is made of sandstone and was originally made from one piece.
