history

Hardly any other area in Lower Saxony had such an eventful history and such a strong life of its own as large parts of the Lingen district. For centuries, the county of Lingen, the forerunner of the district, was an independent territory that at times did not even belong to the Reichsverband. The district of Lingen was formed in 1885 from the Hanoverian authorities Lingen and Freren and the city of Lingen. The office of Lingen was largely based on the Lower County of Lingen , which was established in 1498 and which became part of the Kingdom of Hanover through the Congress of Vienna in 1815.

The Lingen district initially consisted of 58 municipalities, of which Freren and Lingen were towns. These are listed here in alphabetical order:

Ahlde , Old Lingen , Altenlünne , Andervenne, Lower Village , Andervenne, Oberdorf , Baccum , Bawinkel , Beesten , mountains , Bernte , Bexten-Listrup , bee , Bramsche-Wesel , Brockhausen , Brögbern , Brümsel , Clusorth-Bramhar , intestines , Duisenburg , Elbergen , Emsbüren , Estringen (originally called Polle-Estringen-Rottum ), Freren , Geringhusen , Gersten , Gleesen , Handrup , Heitel , Holsten , Holthausen , Hummeldorf , Hüvede-Sommeringen , Langen , Laxten , Dorf Lengerich , Bauerschaft Lengerich , Leschede , Lingen (Ems ) , Lohe-Venslage , Mehringen , Messingen , Mundersum , Münnigbüren , Ostwie , Plankorth , Plantlünne , Ramsel , Salzbergen , Schapen , Schepsdorf-Lohne , Setlage , Spelle , Steide , Suttrup , Talge-Wilsten , Thuine , Varenrode , Venhaus , Wettrup

In addition, the two manor districts of Herzford and Stovern existed in the Lingen district until they were dissolved in the 1920s .

The communities Ostwie and Geringhusen were incorporated into the city of Freren at the end of the 1920s. On October 1, 1934, the two communities Schwartenpohl and Wachendorf were reclassified from the Meppen district to the Lingen district.

The municipalities of Lengerich and Dorf Lengerich were merged in 1960 to form the municipality of Lengerich. The municipalities of Altenlünne and Plantlünne were merged in 1965 to form the new municipality of Lünne . At the same time, the Talge-Wilsten community was incorporated into the Beesten community. On January 1, 1970, Biene and Holthausen were merged to form the Holthausen-Biene community. At the same time, the communities Brockhausen, Darme and Laxten were incorporated into the city of Lingen. The two municipalities of Varenrode and Venhaus were incorporated into the municipality of Spelle on January 1, 1971.

A comprehensive regional reform took place through the law on the reorganization of the communities in the Grafschaft Bentheim / Lingen area on March 1, 1974:

  • Andervenne, Niederdorf and Oberdorf were merged to form the Andervenne municipality .
  • Bawinkel, Duisenburg and Plankorth were merged to form the Bawinkel community.
  • Ahlde, Berge, Bernte, Bexten-Listrup, Elbergen, Emsbüren, Gleesen, Leschede and Mehringen were merged to form the municipality of Emsbüren.
  • Lohe-Venslage, Setlage and Suttrup were incorporated into the city of Freren.
  • Altenlingen, Baccum, Bramsche-Wesel, Brögbern, Clusorth-Bramhar, Estringen, Holthausen-Biene, Hüvede-Sommeringen, Münnigbüren, Mundersum, Ramsel and the town of Schepsdorf of the municipality of Schepsdorf-Lohne were incorporated into the town of Lingen (Ems).
  • Heitel was incorporated into the municipality of Lünne.
  • Brümsel was incorporated into the municipality of Messingen.
  • Holsten, Hummeldorf and Steide were incorporated into the municipality of Salzbergen.
  • Wietmarschen from the Grafschaft Bentheim district was merged with Schepsdorf-Lohne (without Schepsdorf), Schwartenpohl and Wachendorf to form the municipality of Wietmarschen and incorporated into the Lingen district.

Since then, in addition to the four unified municipalities of Emsbüren , Lingen (Ems) , Salzbergen and Wietmarschen, there have been 14 other municipalities in the Lingen district, which were combined into three integrated municipalities :

During the district reform in Lower Saxony , most of the Lingen district became part of the new Emsland district on August 1, 1977, together with the neighboring districts of Meppen and Aschendorf-Hümmling . The municipality of Wietmarschen was incorporated into the Grafschaft Bentheim district. The places Wachendorf and Herzford were reclassified from the municipality of Wietmarschen to the city of Lingen in 1978.
