Langenhorst is a district of the city of Ochtrup . The district, one kilometer from Ochtrup, is located on the Vechte and has a connection to federal highway 54 (towards Steinfurt ). Langenhorst is a typical street village .
history
The place was first mentioned in 1178, when Franko von Wettringen founded and had a monastery built there in honor of John the Baptist . It was built on the ruins of a former castle, so it can be assumed that the place is even older. Today the Langenhorst collegiate church is located here .
The great influence of the monastery on the surrounding area was remarkable. After the foundation of the monastery, the abbess zu Langenhorst had her own mill built for her monastery. She demanded from Ochtrup that the other residents of the community should also have their grain ground in Langenhorst. As a result, the meals grew considerably. The dispute lasted until 1735, when the town mill was finally allowed to be built “on the wall in Ochtrupff”. The Langenhorster did not give in and achieved that from 1761 until the abolition of the monastery in 1808 the community of Ochtrup had to pay 30 thalers annually as compensation. The mill was only demolished at the end of the 19th century and replaced by two new ones (on the mountain and in the Weiner).
With great financial efforts on the part of the Langenhorster, the pastor at the time, Theodor Mühren, succeeded in setting up a teachers' seminar in 1830 in order to provide young men from “all over Westphalia with training, accommodation and board”. The pastor of Langenhorst was always in charge of this seminar. The Provincial Deaf-Mute Institute Langenhorst later grew out of the teacher training college . In 1876, the teachers' seminar was preceded by a preparation course. The kindergarten is located in this building today. Since the small town could not offer the prospective teachers enough practical opportunities, the Catholic teachers' college was relocated to Warendorf in 1882 , while the preparatory work remained in Langenhorst until 1907.
On July 1, 1969, Langenhorst was incorporated into Ochtrup.
