history

St. Marien in Lünen-Nord, seen from the southern bank of the Lippe

To 880/890 Luenen is the lifting tab of the Benedictine monastery are at the Ruhr first mentioned. The lift register contains many places and farmers in the Westphalian region that are mentioned for the first time. For Lünen, these are the four farmers Alstedde (Alstedi), Wethmar (Wetmeri), Nordlünen (Nordliunon) and Südlünen (Sudliunon). Liunon means hill / protection (from the flood of the lip). The first stone building of the St. Mary's Church was built around 1018 . Around 1300 the St. Mary's Church was rebuilt as an early Gothic hall church after its destruction in 1254 (Battle of Brechte).

In 1336, Adolf II moved Lünen from the north bank to the south bank of the Lippe for political and military reasons, and in 1341 granted the city municipal rights in the Brandenburg region . North of the Lippe, in the vicinity of the St. Mary's Church, only a few residents remained after 1600, who also lived in the church from the pilgrims to the image of grace. The miraculous image of Our Lady of Alt-Lünen is the oldest surviving miraculous image of the diocese of Münster . A special feature is that the pilgrimage can already be proven in the Middle Ages. Thus, the St. Marien Church in Lünen-Nord is the oldest Marian pilgrimage site in the diocese of Münster, to which Lünen-Nord still belongs today, as the Lippe forms the diocese border without interruption. The pilgrimage was of great importance for the development of early Lünens. Today's neo-Gothic basilica was built from 1894 to 1896 according to plans by Wilhelm Rincklake .

In 1987 the district of Lünen-Nord had a total of 9737 inhabitants. As of December 31, 2015, the population was 9279. On December 31, 2017, the population was 9684.

In the spring of 2012 the New Apostolic local church in Lünen-Nord was closed.

Former border between Lünen and Altlünen

Lünen-Nord is not to be confused with Nordlünen , which was incorporated into Lünen as part of the reorganization on January 1, 1975 as part of the former municipality of Altlünen (consisting of Alstedde, Nordlünen and Wethmar). Both districts (Lünen-Nord and Nordlünen) border each other; the original borders have been retained, but are now somewhat fluid.

Until 1974 Altlünen was a separate municipality in the Bork , Kreis Lüdinghausen , Münster Region . The border at that time between the northern Altlünen and the southern Lünen and thus between the administrative district of Münster and the administrative district of Arnsberg ran along the Lippe and the now completely piped Wevelsbach, which flows into the Lippe. The course of the border following the course of the Wevelsbach (formerly called Wibelsbach) - initially to Alstedde - from the confluence with the Lippe is as follows: About 200 m before the current bridge of the Konrad-Adenauer-Straße , the border between Lünen and Altlünen leads from the west coming from the lip away to the north, crossing just before the junction with the road in the alders the Borker road and then the railway line Dortmund-Gronau. From here begins the border to Nordlünen. It crosses Döttelbeckstrasse and Am Katzbach . Next, it runs south of the streets Am Mispelbohm , Löwen-Köster-Straße and Friedrich-Wilhelm-Weber-Straße to Grenzstraße . This crosses it and continues in a southerly direction behind the eastern development of Grenzstraße , crosses the Dortmund – Münster railway line and Münsterstraße directly before the junction with Dorfstraße . Then the border - now to Wethmar - follows the edge of the eastern development of the street Krummer Weg , in order to finally cross the Zwolle-Allee and run in an easterly direction to reach the Lippebogen south of the former Westfalia-Hütte.

Trivia

The old town street in Lünen-Nord deserves its name. It indicates that the (old) core of Lünens was originally located there, just north of the Lippe (before the city was moved from north of the Lippe to south of the Lippe in 1336).

According to an old legend , a pagan king rests in a golden coffin in the immediate vicinity of the main train station, in the Wüstenknapp (the desert mountain), an elevation not far from the Lippe and the Beckinghausen Roman camp . The Roman general Drusus is associated with this king .
