history

The district of Lüdinghausen in 1844

Beginnings

After the eastern part of the Münsterland fell to Prussia as the Principality of Münster in 1803 due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the Prussian ordinance on the subdivision of the newly acquired area came into force on January 1, 1804. In addition to the circles Beckum , Münster and Warendorf was district Lüdinghausen furnished. It included the cities of Lüdinghausen , Olfen and Werne as well as the parishes Altlünen , Amelsbüren , Appelhülsen , Ascheberg , Bockum , Bork , Bösensell , Capelle , Heessen , Herbern , Hiddingsel , Hövel , Lüdinghausen , Nordkirchen , Nottuln , Olfen , Osterbauerschaft, Ottmarsbocholt , Schapdetten , Selm , Senden , Seppenrade , Südkirchen , Venne , Walstedde and Werne . Johann Matthias Kaspar von Ascheberg zu Venne became district administrator. He resigned two years later. The request for resignation gave the King of Prussia the opportunity to follow the urging of his advisors and to dissolve the district of Lüdinghausen with effect from June 1, 1806. Most of its area was incorporated into the Münster district. With the Peace of Tilsit in 1807, Prussia renounced its ownership rights to the Principality of Münster. From 1808 to 1813 the former district was part of the Grand Duchy of Berg .

According to the regulations of the Congress of Vienna , the Münsterland was finally assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815. Under the senior president of the Münster administrative district , a new district division was decreed and, with effect from August 9, 1816, Johann David Paul von Schlebrügge was appointed "District Commissioner" of the new Lüdinghausen district. In this position he received permission to do his business on his home estate, Haus Beckedorf . In 1818 Schlebrügge was promoted to the district's first district administrator. The district administration remained on his Beckedorf estate. Only in 1828 did he move the district administration to Lüdinghausen .

After it was founded in 1816, the district was divided into the seven mayorships of Bork, Drensteinfurt, Lüdinghausen, Olfen, Ottmarsbocholt, Senden and Werne until 1843 .

Formation of offices

With the introduction of the rural community order for the province of Westphalia in 1843 and 1844, the mayor's offices were transferred to offices . The cities of Lüdinghausen and Werne remained vacant. The district was then initially divided into the following offices and communities:

Office Communities
free of charge Lüdinghausen and Werne
Ashberg Ashberg
Bork Altlünen , Bork and Selm
Drensteinfurt Bockum , City of Drensteinfurt , Parish Drensteinfurt , Hövel and Walstedde
Herbern Herbern
Ludinghausen Parish of Lüdinghausen and Seppenrade
North churches Nordkirchen and Südkirchen
Olfen City of Olfen and parish of Olfen
Ottmarsbocholt Ottmarsbocholt and Venne
Send Send
Werne Chapel , Stockum and parish of Werne

Restructuring from 1908 to 1939

On April 1, 1908, the Bockum-Hövel office was formed from the two communities of Bockum and Hövel . The Werne office was dissolved in 1922. The rural community of Werne (the former parish of Werne ) was incorporated into the city of Werne, Capelle came to the office of Nordkirchen and Stockum came to the office of Herbern. The two offices of Ascheberg and Senden were abolished in 1935. The city of Lüdinghausen was incorporated into the Lüdinghausen office in 1939. At the same time, Bockum and Hövel were merged to form the unofficial municipality of Bockum-Hövel.

Restructuring in 1969

By law of January 14, 1969, the city of Drensteinfurt and the parish of Drensteinfurt parish were merged into a new city of Drensteinfurt with effect from July 1, 1969.

Further amalgamations, which also came into force on July 1, 1969, took place through the law of June 24, 1969. This included the Walstedde community in the new city of Drensteinfurt and the Lüdinghausen-Land community (the former parish of Lüdinghausen ) in the city Lüdinghausen incorporated. The Drensteinfurt office was dissolved; his legal successor was the city of Drensteinfurt.

After that, the district comprised 3 unofficial cities, 2 unofficial municipalities and 6 offices with 14 official cities and municipalities; it had 147,417 inhabitants (as of June 30, 1972).

This was about:

  • the unofficial cities of Bockum-Hövel, Drensteinfurt and Werne a. d. lip
  • the unofficial communities of Ascheberg and Senden
  • the offices of Bork, Herbern, Lüdinghausen, Nordkirchen, Olfen and Ottmarsbocholt

renaming

On October 1, 1969, the district became the district of Lüdinghausen.

Dissolution in 1975

With the Ruhr Area Law and the Münster / Hamm Law of July 9, 1974, the municipalities of the Lüdinghausen district were fundamentally reorganized with effect from January 1, 1975. The following cities and municipalities emerged:

  • Municipality of Ascheberg from the unofficial municipality of Ascheberg and the municipality of Herbern (Herbern office)
  • City of Lüdinghausen from the city of Lüdinghausen and the municipality of Seppenrade (both Amt Lüdinghausen)

  • Municipality of Selm from the municipalities of Bork and Selm (both Amt Bork)
  • Municipality of Senden from the non-official municipality of Senden, the municipalities of Ottmarsbocholt and Venne (both Office Ottmarsbocholt) and the municipality of Bösensell (Office Roxel, Münster district ); Excepted from this are some parts of the communities Bösensell and Senden, which belong to the community of Nottuln
  • City of Werne ad Lippe from the free city of Werne ad Lippe and the municipality of Stockum (Herbern office)

The city of Bockum-Hövel became part of the newly formed independent city of Hamm . The community Altlünen (Amt Bork) was incorporated into the city of Lünen .

The offices were dissolved. Your legal successors are Ascheberg (Office Herbern), Lüdinghausen (Office Lüdinghausen), Nordkirchen (Office Nordkirchen), Olfen (Office Olfen), Selm (Office Bork), Senden (Office Ottmarsbocholt).

The eight communities that remained in the Lüdinghausen district were divided into the Coesfeld (Ascheberg, Lüdinghausen, Nordkirchen, Olfen, Senden), Unna (Selm, Werne) and Warendorf (Drensteinfurt) districts. The legal successor to the dissolved Lüdinghausen district was the new Coesfeld district .
