history

The name of the Mecklenburg peasantry appears for the first time in the list of properties of the Counts of Dale, which the castle chaplain recorded in 1188 on the orders of his master. Right at the beginning of the main estates in fourth place is curia Meckinchof VII molt siliginis (oats), VII molt ordei (barley), XVI molt avene (oats) VI porcos (pigs) annales . The house Dahl (formerly House Dale ) was on the right bank of the lip , near the town of Bork . According to tradition, in the oldest times the castle stood on the left bank of the Lippe, where the farmers Lippe and Markfeld meet, on the Dahler Heide, on the property of the farmer Auferkamp in Markfeld. Ramps and moats are said to have been visible in the 19th century.

Politically, Meckinghoven, the parish of Datteln and the entire Vest Recklinghausen belonged to the Electorate of Cologne . On November 26, 1802, as a result of the provisions of the Lüneviller Peace, the sovereignty of the Elector of Cologne ended, and Vest Recklinghausen was awarded to Duke Ludwig Engelbert von Arenberg . The Arenberg government came to an end in 1811. A decree of Napoleon of January 25, 1811 united the vest with the Grand Duchy of Berg . The vest was struck to the Arrondissement of Essen .

Datteln, with which Ahsen and Flaesheim, and Waltrop, with which Henrichenburg and Horneburg were connected to form an administrative district, were combined to form a mayor's office ( Mairie ). Count Max von Boenen zu Löringhof was appointed Mayor . He also kept the civil status registers. The police office was set up at Gut Löringhof. Datteln's chief officer since then, Döbbeler, became a police officer. After the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig , Prussia took possession of the vest on November 11, 1813, and it was confirmed in it by the Congress of Vienna . The Vest was finally unified with the Prussian state by patent dated June 21, 1815.

The Dattelns station, which was closed in 1977, is also located in Mecklenburghoven on the Oberhausen-Osterfeld-Hamm railway line, which has only been used for freight traffic since 1983 .

Church of St. Dominic

In 1899 Dominicans moved to Meckinghoven and initially used an empty school as a convent . The foundation stone for a new convent was laid on August 6, 1906, and the consecration took place on the fourth Sunday of Advent in 1907. The architect was Caspar Clemens Pickel . The choir and sacristy of the monastery church were only built in 1935. In 1940 the church received the church furnishings of the abandoned Dominican Church of St. Maria Victoria in Berlin; the neo-Gothic high altar , two side altars, baptismal font and communion bench, choir benches, pulpit, stations of the cross, sacristy cupboards, four confessionals and ten to fifteen figures of saints. The wood carvings were created in Peter Tillmann's sculpture workshop in Erkelenz based on a design by Friedrich von Schmidt .
