Kattenstroth is a district in the southwest of the East Westphalian district town of Gütersloh in North Rhine-Westphalia .

location

The northern border of the district to Pavenstädt and the Gütersloh core city largely forms the Dalke . To the east, the border to Sundern runs roughly along Reckenberger Straße and Neuenkirchener Straße to the corner of Hellweg, the border to Spexard along the Kattenstroth ring road and Brockweg. The southern and mostly also the western border of Kattenstroth is the city limit of Gütersloh to the city of Rheda-Wiedenbrück , a short stretch in the far west runs along the Ems and borders the municipality of Herzebrock-Clarholz . A small part of the Rheda forest lies in the Kattenstrother area.

history

Kattenstroth was first mentioned in 1189 as "Catinstrot". The name means something like " Kotten in the woods".

In the Bielefeld recess in 1565, the membership of the Kattenstroth peasantry to the Reckenberg district of the Prince Diocese of Osnabrück was confirmed. At that time it bordered in the west, north and northeast on the rule Rheda , in the southeast on the peasantry Spexard and in the south on the peasantry Lintel (both principality of Osnabrück). To this day, the Dalke forms the northern border to the core town of Gütersloh.

After the secularization in 1803, the Prince Bishopric of Osnabrück fell to the Electorate of Hanover , which became part of Prussia in 1806 . From 1807 the Reckenberg office belonged to the Kingdom of Westphalia before it came back to Prussia through the Congress of Vienna in 1815. Kattenstroth became part of the large community of Avenwedde, which from 1816 belonged to the newly founded district of Wiedenbrück . In 1889 the municipality of Kattenstroth-Spexard was formed, which existed until 1910. On April 1, 1910, Kattenstroth was incorporated into the city of Gütersloh.

Attractions

More than two dozen architectural monuments in the city of Gütersloh are located in the Kattenstrother area, including the Catholic St. Pankratius Church from 1891, the adjoining Old City Cemetery with ten listed graves, the former Greve & Güth weaving mill (today a socio-cultural center), the LWL Clinic Gütersloh with its clinic park as well as two of the three Gütersloh monument areas, namely “ Am Kamphof ”, a settlement from the 1920s, and “Am Depenbrock / Holzrichterstraße / Eichenallee”, a post-war settlement around 1950.

The local recreation destinations include the Wapelbad and the Riegerpark . An inclusive climbing garden has existed at the Kiebitzhof since 2015 .

Churches

In addition to the St. Pankratius Church, which defines the cityscape, and the Catholic Church of Our Lady, there are two former Protestant churches in the district, the Lukaskirche (used by a Syrian Orthodox community since 1999) and the Trinity Church (since 2009 nursing home community). On the premises of the LWL Clinic there is a simultaneous church in the Kattenstrother area, the Kreuzkirche . The Evangelical Free Church, also known as the Christ Church, is located on Westfalenweg. It has belonged to the Kattenstroth district since 1999.
