About this picture

The Tecklenburg district was a district in North Rhine-Westphalia . It was formed after the incorporation of southern Westphalia as the Province of Westphalia in Prussia . Most of the district corresponded to the former county of Tecklenburg . In the east it bordered the regional center of Osnabrück . The population in the county of Tecklenburg belonged to the Reformed Confession , today evangelical through the Prussian church union . The population of the former Oberlingen and Münster parts of the district was predominantly Catholic. On January 1, 1975, the district was united with the Steinfurt district and parts of the Münster district to form the new Steinfurt district .

The Tecklenburger Land is essentially congruent with the former district area.

All of the following data (traffic - including street names and routes, economy, etc.) relate - unless otherwise stated - to the year 1971 .

history

The Tecklenburg district in 1844

In 1816, when the Prussian province of Westphalia was founded, the Tecklenburg district was formed. The district area largely comprised the old county of Tecklenburg , the upper county of Lingen and parts of the Bevergern district ( diocese of Münster ). After its establishment, the district was subdivided into the mayor's offices Bevergern, Brochterbeck, Cappeln, Hopsten, Ibbenbüren, Ladbergen (in 1832 reclassified from the Münster district to the Tecklenburg district), Lengerich, Lotte, Mettingen, Recke, Riesenbeck, Dish and Tecklenburg.

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 Ledde office, consisting of the two municipalities of Ledde and Leeden , was merged in 1851 with the previously free city of Tecklenburg to form the Tecklenburg office . In addition, in 1852 the Dreierwalde office, consisting of the municipality of Dreierwalde , was incorporated into the Bevergen office. In 1857 the Lienen office was reclassified from the Warendorf district to the Tecklenburg district, which has since had 14 offices with a total of 22 communities:

Office Communities
Bevergern Bevergern and Dreierwalde
Brochterbeck Brochterbeck
Cappeln City of Westerkappeln and the rural community of Westerkappeln
Hops Hops
Ibbenbueren City of Ibbenbüren and rural community Ibbenbüren
Ladbergen Ladbergen
Lengerich City of Lengerich and the rural community of Lengerich
Lienen Lienen
Lotte Lotte and Wersen
Mettingen Mettingen
Warrior Warrior
Riesenbeck Riesenbeck
Bowl Halverde and bowl
Tecklenburg Ledde , Leeden and Tecklenburg

In the 1860s there was talk of moving the district office to Ibbenbüren . The Werthmühle was planned as the seat there. A corresponding decision of the district council was not implemented, presumably because the Franco-German War broke out. After the end of the war, the project was not pursued any further.

In the years 1890/92, the then District Administrator Belli moved into the new District Office at the point where a building of the district administration (Steinfurt district - Tecklenburg district ) is still located today . In the following years the first district road construction office and the district meadow construction office were set up. On April 1, 1900, the municipality of Hörstel was formed in the Riesenbeck district by hiving off the municipality of Riesenbeck and on April 1, 1927, the municipality of Lengerich-Land was incorporated into the city of Lengerich.

In 1930 several offices were merged. The Bevergern office was incorporated into the Riesenbeck office, the shell office was incorporated into the Hopsten office, Brochterbeck came to the Tecklenburg office and Recke came to the Mettingen office. In 1934 the offices of Cappeln and Lienen were also abolished. Ladbergen was incorporated into the Tecklenburg office in 1937. On October 1, 1939, the municipalities of Westerkappeln-Stadt and Westerkappeln-Land merged to form the municipal Westerkappeln. Ladbergen left the Tecklenburg office in 1949 and became vacant. Mettingen and Recke had been vacant since 1951. In 1959, the Tecklenburg district founded the district water supply association (today Tecklenburger Land water supply association ) and in 1966 the Münster-Osnabrück Airport GmbH, together with the cities of Münster , Osnabrück and Greven and the Münster district . Since 1968 the A 1 (Hansalinie) has led through the district for a length of 26 km, intersects the A 30 in Lotte and has since formed the Lotte / Osnabrück motorway junction there .

On October 1, 1969, the district became the Tecklenburg district.

Despite great efforts to preserve the Tecklenburg district, it was dissolved with effect from January 1, 1975 and henceforth forms the new Steinfurt district with the old Steinfurt district and parts of the Münster district .

coat of arms

Banner of the Tecklenburg district

On June 30, 1934, the Prussian State Ministry awarded the Tecklenburg district a coat of arms.

Coat of arms of the Tecklenburg district
 Blazon : "Split and half-divided: In front (heraldic right) in silver three red water lily pads, in the back in the upper field in blue a gold anchor, in the lower field in gold a red bar."

Flag: The Hißflagge consists of two equally long and equally wide strips in the colors red and white, on the middle of which the circular coat of arms is placed, shifted towards the flag shaft.

Banner: The banner consists of two equally long and equally wide strips in the colors red and white, on which the circular coat of arms is placed above the center.

Reasons for the coat of arms: The three water lily leaves (also called Schröterhorns) were the symbols of the Counts of Tecklenburg since the 14th century . The water lily leaves are also depicted in the coat of arms of the city of Tecklenburg and can also be found in some coats of arms of surrounding communities. In the coat of arms of the new Steinfurt district they stand as a symbol for the Tecklenburger Land. The anchor on the back indicates the connection to the Lingen rulership, which was part of the Tecklenburg county until the 16th century. Due to an inheritance division, areas of the old county of Tecklenburg an Lingen and later to the Netherlands were lost, but after 1816 they were reunited in the new Tecklenburg district. Also on the left are the colors of the Münster diocese, which are reminiscent of the former Bevergern office.
