history

The first certification of the farmers comes from the year 1022 AD. At that time it was called "Landrikashem". Over the centuries there were other spellings:

"Landerikeshem, Landerkeshem, Landershem, Landerixsem, Landrekeshem, Landerikeshem and Landrecshem". After documents from the 13th and 14th centuries, a knights "of Landerkeshem" is known, some of which knight in the service of the bishops of Münster stood. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the current name "Landersum" caught on.

According to Wilhelm Fangmeyer, the name means: "Settlement of a man with the name Landrik".

school

From around 1780 to 1968 there was a school in Landersum with at times almost 100 students in a lower and an upper class. From 1951 a school mass was also celebrated weekly in the school .

Antekoje

The so-called Antekoje was an artificial water system in northern Landersum that the wild duck catching served. The Dutch-style complex was probably built by the Baron von Twickel towards the end of the 17th century and operated until the end of the 1860s. Today the area has been filled up again and is used as arable land and grassland; the rectangular outlines of the facility are only faintly visible in aerial photographs.
