 Wolbeck in Munster

|
Wolbeck is a district of the city of Münster in the south-east district . It is located in the south-east of the city between the rivers Werse and Angel .
history
Wolbeck or Walbeke was first mentioned in a document in 1185. The name (also mentioned as Woltbecke) literally means settlement on the forest brook .
Wolbeck received Wigbold rights for the first time through Prince Bishop Everhard von Diest . That meant for the place:
- limited financial sovereignty
- Market law
- Right of attachment
- own jurisdiction
Wolbeck was the scene of numerous witch trials , which is why people still speak of Hexenwolbeck today .
From the 13th century, Wolbeck was the seat of the Prince-Bishop, who had his seat at the Prince-Bishop's Castle Wolbeck . This was badly damaged by the French troops in the Seven Years' War . Many of the stones from the former castle were later used to build the castle in Münster. Today, of the remains of the prince-bishop's castle, only a covered well can be seen on the property of farmer Tripp ("Tripp's hill").
In the course of the rural community order in the province of Westphalia in 1843/44, the Wolbeck office was established . In addition to its two parts, Wigbold Wolbeck, it included the municipalities of Albersloh , Alverskirchen , Angelmodde and Rinkerode as the official seat and parish of Wolbeck .
On April 1, 1957, the former municipalities were Wigbold Wolbeck and parish Wolbeck joined the new municipality Wolbeck.
In the 1960s, Wolbeck was a Kneipp spa for a short time .
On January 1, 1975, the previously independent municipality became a district of the city of Münster as part of the regional reform . The Wolbeck office was dissolved, the other communities fell to the district of Warendorf (Albersloh, Alverskirchen and Rinkerode) and Münster (Angelmodde). Wolbeck has around 9,600 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2018).

Museums

The reference library, the West Prussia archive and the photo archive were also available to visitors on request.

Buildings
- The Drostenhof in Wolbeck is a monument from the time of the prince-bishop. It was built in 1535 by the episcopal bailiff Dirk von Merveldt, who played a key role in the expulsion of the Anabaptists from Münster . The Drostenhof is owned by the Graf von Merveldt family , who led the office of Drosten zu Wolbeck for generations and had a very close relationship with Wolbeck since 1389. The Drostenhof still shapes the townscape today. Part of the Drostenhof was open to the public as the West Prussian State Museum until August 2012.
- The parish church of St. Nicholas is an early Gothic hall church that was built in the 13th century. The lower part of the tower is Romanesque ; it was increased in baroque style in the 17th century and received a curved hood .

The Wolbeck station youth center on the Münster – Warstein railway line offers additional leisure activities in the station formerly used by the Westfälische Landes-Eisenbahn .
The nature reserve Wolbecker Tiergarten , located on the south-eastern outskirts, is 288 hectares in size, it has the status of an FFH area and is a popular recreational area. Thanks to funding from LIFE funds, numerous information boards and information materials now guide visitors through this forest area.

Wolbeck is located on the Münster – Warstein railway line of the Westphalian State Railroad ( Westfälische Landes-Eisenbahn ) WLE. Passenger traffic was stopped in 1975, and since then only a few freight trains have been running here .

The planning for this has now been put out to tender across Europe.
