history
middle Ages
The village of Lembeck emerged from an imperial estate , whose bailiffs were later the Lords of Lembeck . Adolf von Lembeck was the owner of a main episcopal court; the place name is due to him. Lembeck was first mentioned as "Lehembeke" in 1017 in a document.
Over the centuries, Lembeck Castle was built near the main courtyard and is considered one of the most beautiful moated castles in the Ruhr area and Münsterland. The domain that was under the jurisdiction of the Lords of Lembeck - the "Herrlichkeit Lembeck" - comprised the places Altschermbeck , Erle and today's Dorstener districts of Hervest , Holsterhausen , Lembeck, Rhade and Wulfen . The name “Herrlichkeit Lembeck” has been retained for the northern Dorsten city area to this day.
Modern times
In the 17th century, especially between 1610 and 1614, the glory gained supraregional importance in witch trials. The so-called water test was carried out in Lembeck . This "expert activity" was so heavily used that it temporarily represented the economic basis of the gentlemen zu Lembeck.
In 1802/1803 the glory Lembeck came to the Principality of Salm as part of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , which was annexed by France in 1811 . After the collapse of French rule, the Generalgouvernement was established between the Weser and the Rhine in 1814 . As a result of the Congress of Vienna , the area fell to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 .
Lembeck has belonged to the city of Dorsten since the municipal reorganization that came into force on January 1, 1975 . Bernhard Loick was the last of a total of eleven mayors of the independent community of Lembeck until the end of 1974.
