In 1808, the canton of Hamm split up into the municipality of Hamm and firstly the municipalities of the previous office of Hamm , secondly the municipalities of the Haaren / Untrop court, namely Untrop , Haaren , Schmeehausen , Norddinker , Frielinghausen , Vöckinghausen and thirdly the municipalities of the Reck court, namely Reck , Berg-Kamen , Overberge , Rottum, Derne, Lerche . At a later point in time, the subdivision into the municipalities of Hamm , Pelkum and Rhynern can be found.
