geography

Kattenvenne is bordered by the towns of Lienen , Lengerich , Ladbergen , Ostbevern and Glandorf . The nature reserves of the Kattenvenne and Lilienvenn nature reserves for North Rhine-Westphalia are designated near the village .

history

The first mention of the name Kattenvenne can be found in a treaty dated 836 that was signed at Corvey Abbey . It says here:

“Tradiderunt Frekin et Heriman in Hadunveni quidquid ibi habuerunt. (...) "

Frekin and Heriman transmitted what they owned in Hadunveni. It is believed that "Hadunveni" is the original form of the name Kattenvenne. Another documentary mention comes from the year 1312. Kattenvenne was mainly known for the moor, in which the farmers of the neighboring villages cut peat. In 1650, Kattenvenne was spun off from the Lienen farming community as a newly created farming community. Presumably a farm was located in this corridor and so gave its name to the new farmers. The name Katten und venn probably originated from Venn = Moor and Gatt (a water-filled hole). The place name used to be incorrectly derived from the Low German word katten (= cats), these are said to have crept through the moor at night.

The current state of research from several sources emphasizes that there is no unequivocal connection between the name Hadunveni and Kattenvenne. A reliable mention is only from the year 1312 in the Westphalian document book (WUB VIII, No. 741, p. 263) as a written source and the mention in the Corveyer certificate allows room for different interpretations, which doubt the course of the donation .

Buchentorstrasse

By the middle of the 18th century, 23 farms were registered. However, the development of Kattenvenne as a unified municipality only began as a result of the construction of the Münster - Osnabrück railway line between 1868 and 1871. The new Rollbahn railway gave the place an upswing. The Kattenvenne station was built in 1873 as the master's house. It is the time of the Franco-German War , which is why French prisoners of war are said to have participated in the construction of the railway line. Other buildings were built around the station in the course of the 1870s and serve as an inn and bakery. In 1877, he opened a wood and coal trade at the train station. At the instigation of Pastor Kriege from Lienen, since the population of Kattenvenne has doubled within 50 years, the foundation stone of the church at the Buchentor is laid on August 25, 1887. At Christmas 1887, Pastor Adolf Philipps held the first service in the unfinished church. The tower of the church was not made until 20 years later in 1897. In 1889 Kattenvenne became an independent parish. The population of Kattenvennes continued to grow until the 1960s, despite the emigration of around 400 people to the USA and the deaths of 58 Kattenvennes in the First and 170 in the Second World War . In 1961 there were 1358 inhabitants, in 1984 already 1764. In the following the village has grown steadily in the context of new development areas.
