Lappenstuhl was founded in 1952 as a new settlement and is now a district of Bramsche an der Hase in the Teutoburg Forest in Lower Saxony .
The name “Lappenstuhl” is derived from the name Graf Lamprechts Richtstuhl . He was first mentioned in documents in 1402 in the "Historical Directory of the Former Principality of Osnabrück ". It was a field name for the place where the settlement was founded.
The refugees and displaced persons arriving from the East German areas at the end of the Second World War caused a housing shortage in the parish of Engter . Since there were no building plots for sale in the existing communities of Engter , Schleptrup and Kalkriese , negotiations were made with the landlord, Baron Hugo von Bar, about plots in the Lappenstuhl area, which was then a forest area.
With the support of the state parliament member Ernst Bettermann ( SPD ) from Rieste , an agreement was finally reached on the purchase of 65.94 hectares . In honor of Ernst Bettermann, the "Ernst-Bettermann-Platz" was created later.
On April 9, 1952, the plots were assigned to the first building applicants.
On December 4th 1952 there was electricity in Lappenstuhl for the first time.
On June 15, 1958, the first "Settlers Festival" took place in Lappenstuhl. It is celebrated annually to this day.
Since Lappenstuhl is in the districts of two communities ( Engter , Schleptrup ), both communities were also responsible for the political affairs of the settlement. On September 21, 1990, the Lappenstuhl eV community decided to apply to Bramsche City Council for its own local councilor for Lappenstuhl . After a long, heated discussion, the city council decided on March 14, 1991 to approve this proposal. On October 6, 1991, the first local councilor Lappenstuhl was elected.
Since then, the local mayor has been Walter vor den Tharen (SPD).
The school building
Since there was no easy way for Lappenstuhl's school-age children to reach the elementary school in Engter in the 1950s, a separate school building was built. The foundation stone for this was laid on July 17, 1954. On January 8, 1955, 33 children were able to attend their own school for the first time.
In April 1964, the 5th to 8th grades were moved to Engter and a regular bus service was set up. In the course of the school reform , the school in Lappenstuhl was closed on March 5, 1973.
Today the building is operated as a kindergarten by the Arbeiterwohlfahrt . It was extensively renovated and rebuilt in 2003.
The St. Thomas Chapel
A church was already planned in the development plan of January 31, 1955. The history of the Thomaskapelle began in Voltlage after the Second World War . A diaspora chapel was built with the help of a donation from American Lutheranism in order to be able to offer church support to the evangelical expellees living there . In 1968, however, most of the expellees had emigrated, so that the chapel was no longer needed. The move to another location was then planned. In 1970, the dismantling began. Until the reconstruction, the individual parts were stored on the new property in Lappenstuhl. The chapel was consecrated again over a year later on August 1, 1971.
Since the inhabitants of the settlement had in the meantime strongly doubted whether a chapel would ever be built from the pile of boards again, it was named after the unbelieving Thomas .
