Districts of the city of Spenge

Lenzinghausen has been a district of the East Westphalian town of Spenge in northeast North Rhine-Westphalia since January 1, 1969 . Before that, Lenzinghausen, first documented in writing in 1056, formed its own municipality in the Spenge office.

Description and location

With 2,495 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2017) Lenzinghausen is the second largest district of the city of Spenge. Lenzinghausen borders Bielefeld- Jöllenbeck in the south, Enger - Westerenger in the east , Spenge-Mitte in the west and north, and Häger in the south-west .

structure

Lenzinghausen is unofficially divided according to the old administrative boundaries into the village Lenzinghausen (landlord office Lenzinghausen) and the farmers Lenzinghausen, which was around the village of Lenzinghausen. The village of Lenzinghausen consisted of the Meyer zu Lenzinghausen, Oberdiek and König farms. The farmers again consisted of the settlements of Lenzinghausen, Affhüppe, Söttringhausen and Westerhausen as well as the Kötter in the extension settlements of Nienhagen (or Mauritanischer Hagen), Korfhagen, Lenzinghauser Heide, Bockhorst, Bröenhorst and Kisker, each of which contained only a few courtyards. The Nagelsholz also belonged to Lenzinghausen, but there was no settlement there and that was intended to be an airport in the 1970s and Bielefeld was temporarily incorporated into it.

history

Lenzinghausen was first mentioned in writing as Lensinchusen around 1060/70 . The Lenzinghausen manorial office once belonged to the St. Mauritz Abbey in front of Münster . The manorial office was a court cooperative within the manorial estate of the monastery. About a hundred years after the takeover of the former Lenzinghausen imperial estate, the administration of the St. Mauritz Abbey set up the first lift register in the 12th century. The large and widely scattered Lenzinghausen village then included the two main courtyards Lanzinchusen and Kuningbruggen (upper courtyards), as well as nineteen courtyards - five of which were abandoned. The court cooperative was named Amt Lenzinghausen after the Oberhof Lanzinchhusen. The Oberhofe (later Meyerhof in Lenzinghausen) were not only assigned to farms from Lenzinghausen, but also farms from various villages, farmers and parishes in the county of Ravensberg and in the Osnabrück monastery - u. a. also in today's Jöllenbeck.

On August 28, 2006, the citizens celebrated the 950th anniversary of their village, which was only broken into Spenge on January 1, 1969 and before that formed an independent municipality in the Spenge Office.

The architect of the church was the pastor Albert Steffen at the time, the interior of the church was financed almost exclusively by donations from the community. The construction of the church marked the end of the existence of individual house groups that had to be visited individually by the pastor. On October 12, 1968 the organ of the church was put into operation, on December 15, 1968 the three bells of the bell tower followed. These each have the pitches e, f sharp and a and each have the inscription of a verse from the Bible. These three bells replaced the old bell from 1861, which was heard on special occasions at the time, has changed location several times and can now be seen on a frame on the Bülow nose on Dorfstrasse. From 1995 to 2010, Heinz Schlüter was pastor of the Pauluskirche before he was replaced by Urlich Gressorg. In 2013 the 50th anniversary of the Pauluskirche was celebrated.
