Lotte ( Low German Luote ) is a municipality in the Westphalian region of Tecklenburger Land ( Steinfurt district ). In its current expansion, the municipality emerged on January 1, 1975 from the Lotte office, to which the previously independent municipalities Lotte and Wersen belonged. Nationwide, the community is best known for the Lotte / Osnabrück motorway junction and the former third division soccer team Sportfreunde Lotte . Due to the direct border location to the Lower Saxon city of Osnabrück, the municipality is one of their metropolitan areas .

history
Prehistoric times
In the area of the municipality of Lotte there are three grave systems of the Neolithic funnel cup culture , see large stone graves near Wersen .
Middle Ages to 1400
The history of the village Lotte (now Alt-Lotte) and the peasantry Osterberg is closely related, yet both towns are not formed together. Lotte once belonged to the parish of St. Marien in Osnabrück and Osterberg in what is now the Tecklenburg district of Leeden .
Osterberg was first mentioned in a document as early as 1251. In this document, the knight Hermann Hake donated the Catherine Altar to Iburg to the Osterberg farm. Lotte first appeared in a document in 1272, when the Gertrudenberg Monastery was given ownership of villa Lothe dicta ac in Dhuthe (in the village of Lotte and in Düte) by Bishop Konrad von Osnabrück. On February 26, 1312 Count Otto III founded. of Tecklenburg the parish Lotte. The new church in Lotte was consecrated on December 4, 1315. This ended the Sunday lottery walk to St. Marien in Osnabrück, of which the street name Lotter Kirchweg still reminds us today.
1400 to 1600
In 1410, the Osterberg estate was sold to build a male monastery for the fraternal lords . The small monastery community was evidently not viable in the long term. In 1427 the fraternal lords handed the Osterberg monastery over to the general chapter of the Kreuzherren , who occupied the monastery with canons from Cologne . The monastery has been an important institution for the community for over 200 years. Big disputes between the monastery and Count Konrad von Tecklenburg broke out when he converted to the Protestant faith. Until 1538 the canons tried to oppose the will of the count. But this culminated in the expulsion of the Lords of the Cross and the appropriation of the monastery property by the count. It was not until 1552 that the Lords of the Cross won protracted legal disputes over the monastery and returned after the death of Count Konrad in 1557. In 1574 the Reformation was introduced in Lotte and in 1580 the first school was built in Lotte.
1600 to 1900
In 1618, Count Adolf von Tecklenburg seized the Osterberg monastery and placed it under secular administration. On March 6, 1629 Emperor Ferdinand ordered the return of all confiscated goods and pens to the Catholics with the edict of restitution . During the Thirty Years War , Swedish troops occupied the monastery in 1633, after which the canons finally left it.
The founding of the Count's rifle club Lotte dates back to 1659. From this time a sign with the inscription Lotte Anno 1659 and a silver bird on the Lotter rifle chain have been preserved. With the sale of the county of Tecklenburg in 1707 Lotte came into Prussian possession.
On November 18, 1810, the first mayor's office was established in Lotte. In 1832 and 1850 there was a wave of emigration in the Tecklenburger Land. At that time 147 people emigrated from Lotte, some to the Netherlands, but mostly to North America. On December 6, 1844, the Lotte office was set up, in which the municipalities of Lotte and Wersen were combined.
1900 until today
The new school on Osnabrücker Strasse was built between 1910 and 1911. With the local government reform on 1 January 1975. henceforth Lotte and Wersen formed the unified community Lotte. From then on, the settlement focus was concentrated in the area of Wersen / Büren, due to the better location to Osnabrück. This resulted in the relocation of the municipal administration from Lotte to Wersen. The districts of Alt-Lotte, Büren, Halen, Osterberg and Wersen, which have a local character or are designated as a closed village, are part of today's Lotte municipality. The Lotte community is still very closely connected to the city of Osnabrück and can be seen as an Osnabrück suburb.

The junction Lotte / Osnabrück , the on the motorways A 1 ( European route E 37 ) and A 30 ( E 30 intersect) is located on municipal land. It was opened in 1968 and since then has offered a quick connection to the German and European motorway network.

Lotte has a local public transport network that focuses on connections in the direction of Osnabrück. From 1949 to 1968 there was a connection to the trolleybuses of Stadtwerke Osnabrück , which drove from Osnabrück (Rißmüllerplatz) to Eversburg-Büren. A city bus has been running here since the catenary operation was discontinued.
The municipal area is also crossed by three railway lines. The Lotte depot (Kr Tecklenburg) is on the Löhne – Rheine railway line , but all trains pass through it without stopping. However, there are considerations to reactivate the station or to move it to a more favorable location.
In the district of Wersen there was also a train station on the Tecklenburger Nordbahn (Osnabrück - Recke - Rheine). This has not been served by regular passenger trains since 1967, but by museum trains. As part of a planned reactivation of the Tecklenburger Nordbahn between Recke and Osnabrück, regional trains are scheduled to stop again in Wersen.
The only stop currently in operation is in the Halen district on the Oldenburg – Osnabrück railway line . The RB 58 ( Delmenhorst – Hesepe railway line ) stops there every hour .
commuter
Lotte is a classic out-commuter community in which significantly more people commute than commute. The number of out-commuters in 2015 was 6,228 people, the in-commuters 3,534. The most important places of work for the Lotter population are Osnabrück, Westerkappeln and Ibbenbüren. In addition to the inbound commuters, 1421 Lotter citizens are also employed locally, which results in a total of 4955 social security employees.
