history

Gremmendorf is probably less than 200 years old and thus one of the younger towns in Münster. The place is not yet found on a contemporary map from 1763. The result is he from a small settlement to the court Gremme in the peasantry Delstrup that the peasantry spirit and Mecklenbeck for rural community Lamberti and office belonged Mauritz.

The municipal expansion of Münster in 1903 incorporated Delstrup into the urban area. On October 1, 1903, the Münster – Neubeckum line of the Westfälische Landes-Eisenbahn was put into operation with a stop on Erbdrostenweg, which was called "Gremmendorf". In the following years this name increasingly replaced the old name Delstrup. In 1905 the newly built station restaurant "Waldesruh" on Gremmendorfer Weg, later called Haus Heuckmann, replaced the first stop.

In the following years, more residential buildings were built around Gremmendorfer Weg. Since 1920 a distinction has been made between "Alt-Gremmendorf" (courtyards around Erbdrostenweg) and "Neu-Gremmendorf" in the area of ​​Gremmendorfer Weg. In particular, the rededication of the Loddenheide into a purely military base and the construction of the air news barracks on Albersloher Weg in 1936 favored the growth of the district. After the Second World War , the barracks were taken over by the British occupying forces, who had more houses built for their soldiers. But also in "Alt-Gremmendorf" the residential density increased continuously. New houses were primarily built on Albersloher Weg. The regional reform in 1975 struck the strongly grown Gremmendorf in the south-east district.

Culture

In terms of culture, Gremmendorf offers a carnival club , which K.-G. Pängelanton calls. There is also a Low German home stage and a sports club, the SC Gremmendorf from 1946. Among the outstanding personalities of the place are Heinrich Löwe as the founder and Hermann Treff as the long-time chairman of the local and rifle club , Otto Hersing as the submarine captain First World War and Franz and Josef Horstmann as co-founders of SC Gremmendorf. The largest parish in the district is the Roman Catholic parish of St. Ida, whose church is on Anton-Knubel-Weg.

Landmarks and urban development

The landmark of Gremmendorf is the "Pängelanton". This old steam locomotive is at the intersection of Albersloher Weg and Erbdrostenweg.

Very close is the former British York barracks with adjoining sports and practice area, which, together with the Oxford barracks in Gievenbeck , will be used as an initial reception facility for refugees with up to 1,500 places by the Federal Office for Migration and from November 2016 for a transition period until 2018 Refugees (BAMF) was used for the Münster administrative district. Previously, like the Wartburg secondary school, they had been used as emergency accommodation for refugees from 2015 to October 2016. In 2018 concrete preparations began for the conversion to a residential area; Parts of the areas of the two barracks premises passed into the ownership of the municipal housing association Wohn + Stadtbau, the largest part went to the newly founded subsidiary of the city of Münster KonvOY. In December 2018, work on building preparation began. Over the next few years, living space for 10,000 people is to be created on both barracks, including 1,800 residential units for over 6,000 people on the so-called “York Quarter”.

The memorial on Gremmendorfer Weg commemorates the soldiers from Gremmendorf who died in the war. On Memorial Day here every year the representatives of the clubs and the St. Ida community gather to commemorate the victims of war.

Others

The naming of the streets is one of the special features of the place. Hardly any street name actually contains the word “street”. Most names end in "-weg". Some refer to old place or field names: "Delstrup", "Vörnste Esch", "Zur Mariengrotte", "Am high Ufer" or "Ketteler Ort". Exceptions are Agathastrasse and Wolteringstrasse.
