Ibbenbüren gained national fame through its coal mining and as a power station location.
geography
The city, through which the Ibbenbürener Aa flows, is located at the northwest end of the Teutoburg Forest between Rheine in the west and Osnabrück in the east, which are each about 20 kilometers away. In the north of Ibbenbüren lies the Ibbenbürener Bergplatte with the Schaf- und Dickenberg, from which the tarpaulin flowed through the inner city of Ibbenbüren until 1859 . The mean altitude is 70 m above sea level. NHN .

Urban development
With the continuous population growth in the last decades, Ibbenbüren has expanded in terms of urban development. Two main development axes can be identified:
- To the west
The third, new motorway junction in Ibbenbürener urban area in Schierloh and the designation of a new industrial area are intended to drive further urban development towards the west. A further expansion is created by the designation of new residential areas in the direction of Püsselbüren .
- Direction east / south-east
Due to the expansion of the inner city towards the east and the simultaneous expansion of the Laggenbeck district towards the west, the buildings are slowly moving towards each other. Although the official distance between the inner city border and Laggenbeck on the connecting roads is five kilometers, under urban planning aspects it has already dropped to around two kilometers.
Legally, Ibbenbüren is a middle district town according to § 4 Abs. 2 of the municipality code NRW (GO NRW) . According to the 2007 reform of the municipal code (Section 4 (3) GO NRW), the city is authorized to apply to the state for the status of a large city belonging to a district. This would transfer further powers of the district to the city.
history
Derivation of the city name
The basic word -büren is derived from Niederdtsch. -büren, -bur (en) and comes from Old High German as bur for "small house" etc., central Netherlands. buur for "apartment, village".
The origin of the defining word is not clearly clarified: Dieter Berger ( Duden ) sees it as a proper name, which should mean "the houses of Ibbo". Even Ernst Förstemann ( Old German name book - place names) regards it as a personal name of the tribe IB and the nickname leads Ibba (commander of Theodoric d Great.) And Ibbon ( Bishop of Tours on). According to Hermann Abels, the defining word ibben can on the one hand derive from ibe = berry-bearing tree, yew . derive; from Germ. -ihwa , cf. old high German. iwa , old north. ýr , gall. iwos , lett. ive ; the yew tree was seen as a direct link to the earth goddess. This derivation describes a place for hunting magic . On the other hand, the meaning ibe / iwe = arch is possible; Middle High German iwe = bow, Swabian aib = crossbow. Arch has been made of yew wood since the Stone Age. A meeting place is described here in a circle.
middle Ages
Ibbenbüren was first mentioned in a document on April 14, 1146, when the then bishop of Osnabrück, Philipp von Katzenelnbogen , gave the Osnabrück Gertrudenkloster part of the tax revenue from Ibbenbüren ("the tenth of the people in the huts in Hibbenburen"). Although Ibbenbüren is much older and a document from 1348 shows that a church was founded in 799, 1146 is officially the year Ibbenbüren was founded. In the years 1219 and 1234 it appears as a church village . During this transition from the High Middle Ages to the Late Middle Ages , the noblemen of Ibbenbüren, the abbess of Herford and the counts of Tecklenburg owned manors in the village. At that time Ibbenbüren belonged to the Diocese of Osnabrück . During this time Ibbenbüren Castle was built by the noblemen of Ibbenbüren from 1150. The last remnants of this castle are the remains of the Heidenturm near the Ibbenbüren Aasee .
After the lords of Ibbenbüren died out, the place came under the sole rule of the Counts of Tecklenburg . This rule lasted until the end of the 15th century.
Early modern age
In 1493 Ibbenbüren and the County of Lingen were split off from the County of Tecklenburg . Count Konrad von Tecklenburg-Schwerin was able to reunite the two counties in 1541. However, Ibbenbüren finally fell into the possession of Emperor Charles V in 1548 through clumsy and hapless tactics of the Count of Tecklenburg with the County of Lingen , who gave it to his sister Maria , the governor of the Netherlands. During this period, hard coal production in Ibbenbüren also began.
Ibbenbüren, which came under the control of the Netherlands and Spain after several changes during the Eighty Years War , came to the House of Orange in 1648 after the Peace of Westphalia . In 1674 the Catholics had to give their church, today's Christ Church, to the Protestant community. With effect from March 6, 1675, the Orange rulers forbade the celebration of Catholic services.
In the 17th century, the mining of iron ore began in and around Ibbenbüren, the extraction of which was to continue into the first half of the 20th century. As part of the succession, Ibbenbüren came under Prussian rule in 1702 . On February 1, 1724 Ibbenbüren obtained city rights, which was, among other things, in connection with the introduction of the excise duty . In 1743 the first magistrate and mayor was appointed.
19th century
During Napoleon's reign at the beginning of the 19th century, Ibbenbüren belonged to the Grand Duchy of Berg (1806) later to the French Empire ( department of the Upper Ems ) until it was captured by Prussian and Russian troops in 1815 and placed under Prussian rule again on January 1, 1816 has been. In this context, the city was assigned to the newly founded Tecklenburg district . In the second half of the 19th century there was talk of moving the district office to Ibbenbüren (Werthmühle). A favorable decision of the state parliament was not implemented because of the war events of 1870/71 .
20th century
During the time of National Socialism , the “New Synagogue” built in 1912/13 was demolished during the November pogroms on the night of November 9-10, 1938 and set on fire the next morning. In the course of the " Aryanization ", the property later became the property of the city of Ibbenbüren. 21 Ibbenbüren Jews according to the definition at the time were victims of the Holocaust . In memory of the murdered Jews from Ibbenbüren, a total of 41 stumbling blocks were laid in seven locations on October 6, 2016, November 3, 2017 and November 9, 2018 .
During the Second World War , the city and the Mittelland Canal were repeatedly targeted by Allied bombing attacks. From April 1 to 7, 1945 there were battles in Ibbenbüren between German troops and the British army advancing from the Rhine. A well-known regional theater of war lies south between Ibbenbüren and Riesenbeck . This so-called “Battle in the Brumley Valley” was filmed in 2007 under the name “Live and Die 45”.
After the end of the Second World War, the town of Ibbenbüren and the municipality of Ibbenbüren-Land formed the Ibbenbüren District Association until December 31, 1974, which was added to the current town of Ibbenbüren as part of the municipal reform . With the simultaneous dissolution of the Tecklenburg district and merging with the old Burgsteinfurt district, Ibbenbüren was assigned to the newly founded Steinfurt district on January 1, 1975 . On November 19, 1976 Ibbenbüren was connected to the motorway network with the opening of the federal motorway 30 in the direction of Osnabrück.
On August 26, 1981, there was a mine accident in the Preussag (now RAG) coal mine due to a gas / coal eruption in which eight miners were killed. On July 17, 1986, Mayor Heinz Unland released the underpass of the federal road 219 under the Löhne – Rheine railway line and the road bridges Breite Straße and Laggenbecker Straße. As a result, there was no level crossing at this point, which had often led to traffic problems.

Political focus
Ibbenbüren's connection to the energy industry led to the implementation of energetic aspects in political city life at an early stage. Long before the energy and climate discussion became a main topic in the German public, the city council founded an energy committee in 1979. A controlling of the energy consumption situation of urban facilities began at the end of the 1980s and was established in the mid-1990s with annual urban reporting. The definition of energy standards in urban real estate traffic for residential building plots has also been practiced since the mid-1990s. Energy efficiency and an increased use of local energy potentials of renewable energies in connection with a communal energy quality management are political priorities today, since it is precisely here that signals can be given for local branches of the economy and their meaningful further development. Since the council decision of November 7, 2007, the city administration has submitted to municipal energy quality management, the European Energy Award (eea), and was certified as an eea municipality in 2010.
coat of arms
Blazon : "In blue within a golden shield border, an upright (lowered) golden anchor ." The city colors are blue and gold .
Declaration of coat of arms: The oldest evidence of the coat of arms can be found in a seal imprint from the year 1778. The origin of the anchor has not yet been clarified beyond doubt. Such is also found in the coats of arms of some neighboring towns. It is possible that it goes back to the coat of arms of the County of Lingen . The county’s Gogericht had an upright anchor in its coat of arms as early as 1509, and the county of Tecklenburg, from which the county of Lingen was separated, had an anchor in its coat of arms since at least 1475. The anchor could go back to an anchorage or a customs station in the port of the city of Lingen , after the Counts of Tecklenburg had owned an Oberhof as well as other possessions and rights in the city since 1227 at the latest .

Economy and Infrastructure
The economy was heavily influenced by coal mining; the city gives its name to the Ibbenbüren hard coal district . The Ibbenbüren mine was one of the last two hard coal mines in Germany. On August 17, 2018, coal was mined for the last time. Formerly managed by Preussag AG, the operation was most recently managed by RAG , in which all German hard coal mines were combined. Ibbenbüren temporarily had the deepest coal mine in Europe at 1545 meters and produced anthracite, a type of coal that is one of the world's highest quality types of coal. A large part of the hard coal produced was burned in the hard coal power plant ( Ibbenbüren power plant ) located right next to the colliery , which was at times in public criticism because it had no filter for nitrogen oxides and therefore did not comply with the environmental protection laws in force at the time.
Since the 1990s, however, the city has also increasingly tried to promote the service sector .
The Ibbenbüren sandstone is also known nationwide . Numerous quarries in the surrounding area are still partly managed today. Ibbenbürener sandstone experienced its heyday around the middle of the 19th century with around 1000 employees. The sandstone, which is yellowish or brownish in color, is frost-resistant and can be used indoors and outdoors.
Other companies known throughout Germany include Musik Produktiv (according to their own statement, Europe's largest department store for musicians' needs), the Ibbenbürener Vereindruckerei and the Teutoburger Ölmühle (several awards for their cold-pressed kernel oils). The Tecklenburger Land water supply association is based in Laggenbeck .

The Ibbenbürener Anzeiger advertising paper appears on a weekly basis and the Wir in Ibbenbüren advertising paper appeared from 1989 to 2019 . The magazine appears monthly in the middle . The magazine Stadtjournal Ibbenbüren was published every two months from November 2009 to October 2019. In addition to the print media, Kanal-4 has its own television channel, which can only be received in the Ibbenbüren Clinic and which relies on in-house productions with a thematic reference to the surrounding area. In April 2009 the local blog Ibb.town started , on which podcasts and articles about local events are published.

After a dam slide occurred as a result of the summer storm in August 2010, the "Teuto-Express" from Lengerich ends in Tecklenburg and can no longer continue via Brochterbeck to Ibbenbüren Aasee. Since the tracks were not repaired by the new TWE owner Captrain Deutschland , the non-partisan "Action Alliance pro TWE" was founded in January 2012, which aims to ensure, among other things, the long-term maintenance and regular use of the Teutoburg Forest Railway in the areas of leisure and tourism traffic Has set a goal.

air traffic
In Greven , 25 kilometers south of Ibbenbüren, there is Münster / Osnabrück Airport , from which direct flights to destinations within Europe are possible.
commuter
Due to Ibbenbüren's location and the central center function with the accompanying job offer, many residents of the neighboring communities commute to the city. Since Ibbenbüren is in turn in the catchment area of the regional center Osnabrück and other large cities such as Rheine and Münster are in the vicinity, many Ibbenbüren people commute to work in these places.
For some years now, the in- commuter surplus has turned into an out-commuter surplus, which is why Ibbenbüren is a commuter community . In 2003 Ibbenbüren had a positive commuter balance for the last time; this has been in the negative four-digit range since 2014.
The 2015 figures include 14,072 out-commuters and 13,030 in-commuters, as well as 13,545 local residents of Ibbenbüren. The out-commuter surplus in 2015 was 1,042 people. The effects of the closure of the Ibbenbüren mine will only be fully reflected in the figures in a few years.

Attractions
Right in the center of Ibbenbüren between the Upper and Lower Market is the Protestant Christ Church , which is a listed building and whose lowest tower floors date from the 12th century. In the immediate vicinity there are several old houses from the 17th and 18th centuries, the oldest from 1690. To the south of the Christ Church is the “Lower Market”. The old Posthof from 1743 is in the immediate vicinity. After the restoration of the Posthof was completed in 1983, several small shops including an antique café moved here, which are well received by the Ibbenbüren residents.
The Catholic St. Mauritius Church , built around 1830 , a late Classicist hall church, is located on the northern edge of the city center. The Ludwig Church in Ibbenbüren was renovated in 1971. The redesign led to a lively discussion in the city. At that time, the cross was removed from the altar wall and replaced by a bright red dot on a white background, designed by the painter Rupprecht Geiger . There were not only heated discussions about Geiger's point, he has since become the spiritual linchpin of the parish.
A very popular skate park , the climbing forest and the Bögel-Windmeyer leisure center with an adjoining home is located directly on the Aasee . A stop on the Ibbenbüren – Hövelhof railway line ( Teutoburg Forest Railway ), from which trips to Bad Iburg and Bad Laer can be made in the summer months with a steam locomotive and historic wagons of the Teuto Express , is also nearby. The Aaseebad leisure pool is directly adjacent to the Aasee circular hiking trail with its large lawn. Well-known regional and supraregional hiking and cycling trails such as the Töddenland circular hiking trail or the 100 castles route run along the lake .
The Ibbenbüren climbing forest was created in an old beech grove and offers 120 climbing elements and various courses from one to 14 m high. The courses have different levels of difficulty and are suitable for beginners as well as advanced. Special attractions are a 180 m long cable car and a Tarzan jump into a net from a height of 14 m. The climbing forest is open from March or April to around the end of October.
Further south is the motorcycle museum with numerous vintage cars and classics from motorcycle history. Also in the south of Ibbenbüren, on the northern slope of the Teutoburg Forest , is the summer toboggan run, which opened in 1926 and, together with the fairy tale forest founded in 1958, forms one of the oldest amusement parks in Germany. On the opposite southern slope side there is a bizarre rock formation, the Dörenther Klippen . The crouching woman is one of them .
The Ibbenbüren City Museum is located near the train station in the historic Hövel / Herold house , which aims to bring visitors closer to the city's past through regular special exhibitions and the permanent exhibition as a collection of individual items that document the history of Ibbenbüren.
