Districts
In addition to the core city of Lüdinghausen, there is another district with Seppenrade .

history
The first mention of Lüdinghausen as "Ludinchusen" took place in the year 800 on the occasion of the transfer of ownership of a farm to Saint Liudger by Snelhard. In 974, the settlement around the church belonging to Werden Abbey was granted market and minting rights .
In 1309 Lüdinghausen was granted city rights by the Lords of Lüdinghausen and Lüdinghausen-Wolff . In 1443 Lüdinghausen came to the bishopric of Münster . In 1499 this city and office were sold to the cathedral chapter of Münster .
In 1507, with the laying of the foundation stone, the construction of the Felizitaskirche began, which is the largest local church and has the thickest massive sandstone pillars in Europe.
The high point of the witch persecution in Lüdinghausen seems to have been the year 1624, when at least 20 people suspected of witchcraft were executed in a wave of witch trials in a few months , including Bernhard Schwarte , Heidtmann from Haltern am See and Heidtmann's wife from Haltern am See . The number of victims was probably higher as only part of the files have survived.
In 1803 Lüdinghausen became a district town in the newly formed Lüdinghausen district . At that time it was preferred to the city of Werne . On October 10, 1832, the entire inner city around the market was completely destroyed by fire. The town hall also fell victim to the flames. Only one street at the Mühlen- and Langenbrückentor and a group of houses near the Münstertor were spared. After several smaller fires in 1882 and 1883, the volunteer fire department was founded. The syringe houses that existed in the peasantry were closed when the fire brigade received motor vehicles.
Over the years Lüdinghausen developed into a middle center of the surrounding places with a catchment area of 50,000 to 100,000 inhabitants. After several small partial outsourcing on April 1, 1903, April 1, 1914, 1929 and January 1, 1966, the municipality of Lüdinghausen-Land was dissolved on July 1, 1969 and incorporated into the city. On January 1, 1975 Seppenrade was finally incorporated. Since the district of Lüdinghausen was dissolved on the same date, the city lost the seat of the district administration. Lüdinghausen was incorporated into the Coesfeld district.
Incorporations
During the municipal reorganization, which was carried out in two steps, the city of Lüdinghausen expanded with effect from July 1, 1969 to include the area of the former municipality of Lüdinghausen-Land and on January 1, 1975 to include the former municipality of Seppenrade .

religion
The majority of the local population is Catholic . There is a Catholic, a Protestant and a New Apostolic Church as well as a congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in Lüdinghausen. The Catholic parishes of St. Felizitas and St. Ludger merged into the St. Felizitas parish at Pentecost 2007, and in 2017 the St. Ludger Church was profaned and sold to the free Christian community “God's Word”. In the district of Seppenrade there is a Catholic and a Protestant church. In addition to the provincial seat of the Franciscan Sisters of Penance and Christian Love , Lüdinghausen also has a mosque for followers of the Islamic faiths.
Denomination statistics
According to the 2011 census, 63.0% of the population were Catholic and 18.7% Protestant. 18.3% belonged to other denominations or religious communities or were non-denominational . Currently (2018) 57.1% (14,250) of the 24,590 inhabitants are Catholics .

coat of arms
Blazon : "A red bell in gold, accompanied by a red ammonite at the top left."
In the new coat of arms, valid since 1982, symbols of the old approved coats of arms of Lüdinghausen and Seppenrade are included and combined into a meaningful symbiosis.
The bell as a coat of arms goes back over many centuries. It can be found, for example, on several coins from the Lüdinghausen mint around 1308 in the shield of the last knight of Lüdinghausen, Ludolf, and in the seal of the city judges from 1441.
About the origin of the bell in the coat of arms it is assumed that the bell was the coat of arms of the Knights of Lüdinghausen even before the city was founded; Ludolf, as the overlord of the place, added the town sign to his coat of arms; the legends of the bell kolk and the self-ringing of the bells on the arrival of the corpse of St. Liudgerus in Lüdinghausen would have given the cause for the symbol of the bell; the bell has nothing to do with the name “Lüdinghausen”. The representation of the ammonite leads back to the fossils of giant ammonites found in Seppenrade in 1877 and 1895, one with a diameter of about 1.80 m; it is considered to be the largest ammonite ever found in the world.

Buildings
Lüdinghausen is known as the three castle town. The moated castle Lüdinghausen and the castle Vischering are particularly worth seeing . The third castle within the city is Wolfsberg Castle . In the surrounding area there are six other castles that belong to the city area after the district reform, the best known is Kakesbeck Castle .
- Catholic parish church of St. Felizitas (named after St. Felicitas )

- Hof Grube, Tetekum 39 (south of the town center of Lüdinghausen), the oldest farmhouse in Westphalia. Mentioned for the first time in 1339, the farm name Grube is still a household name not only in Lüdinghausen (Coesfeld district). The heart of the facility is the 32-meter-long main building, which is essentially a half-timbered hall building with a four-column construction. According to scientific research, the wood for this building was felled in 1517. This building is the oldest known four-column construction and the oldest known farmhouse in Westphalia.
