history

The place name Mettingen is mentioned for the first time in 1088 in a list of goods belonging to the Diocese of Osnabrück , which Bishop Benno II of Osnabrück presented to the abbot of the Iburg Monastery, Norbert von Iburg , on his deathbed . He referred to a fortified aristocratic estate that formed the main courtyard in the village of the same name and that had to pay the so-called tithe to the Iburg monastery . From 1196 to the middle of the 15th century, there is evidence of a noble family von Mettingen who maintained possessions on Mettinger territory. Today's Mettinger coat of arms goes back to a seal from Gerhard von Mettingen , who worked as the Mecklenburg ministerial from 1231 .
From the 13th century until 1548 Mettingen was under the rule of the Counts of Tecklenburg . The county of Tecklenburg consisted of an area that stretched from Lingen in the northwest to Lienen in the southeast and was surrounded by the prince-bishops of Münster and Osnabrück . The county of Lingen later developed from the northern part of this dominion, with an upper county with the neighboring parishes of Mettingen, Ibbenbüren, Brochterbeck and Recke as well as a lower county around Lingen.
Count Nikolaus II. Von Tecklenburg-Schwerin, as a secular ruler, was involved in “perpetual robberies and violence” with his powerful neighbors in the prince-bishops of Münster and Osnabrück. The bishops Otto IV. Von Münster and Dietrich von Osnabrück therefore decided to jointly oppose him. Nikolaus II lost the dispute and in 1400 had to forego parts of his Lower County Lingen in favor of the Duchy of Münster.
His grandson Nicholas III. von Tecklenburg-Schwerin also led a life that gave him the nickname "de Quade", d. H. "The bad one" brought in. He disowned his wife and turned his two sons against himself. His second oldest son, Nikolaus IV von Tecklenburg-Schwerin , took him prisoner at Tecklenburg Castle . The eldest son Otto IX. von Tecklenburg feared for his inheritance and then besieged the castle. In the peace treaty in Hamm in 1493, the two brothers came to an agreement and divided the county between them. Father Nicholas III. was released and had to take up residence in the Lower County of Lingen. The County of Tecklenburg and the Upper County of Lingen were administered jointly by the sons. After the death of Nicholas III. in 1496 the sons fought over the inheritance. The comparison made provided that the eldest son Otto IX. the county of Tecklenburg and Nikolaus IV. received the entire county of Lingen. So Mettingen and the Upper County came under the rule of Nicholas IV.
In 1526, Nicholas IV allied himself with Duke Karl von Egmond and brought the entire county of Lingen into the Duchy of Geldern in order to get it back as a fief right away. Through this exchange he strengthened his position vis-à-vis the neighboring dioceses.
Otto's son Konrad von Tecklenburg-Schwerin took over the county of Tecklenburg after the death of his father in 1534. When his uncle Nicholas IV died childless in 1541, he inherited the county of Lingen and thus reunited both counties under his rule. Konrad von Tecklenburg-Schwerin had committed himself to the new doctrine of the Reformation early on and was now the first sovereign in the Westphalian region to introduce the Reformation. He also joined the Schmalkaldic League of Evangelical Rulers. The Schmalkaldischer Bund was a defensive alliance concluded in Schmalkalden by Protestant princes and cities against the religious policy of the Catholic Emperor Charles V , also King of Spain, Duke of Burgundy and heir to the House of Habsburg. Charles V tried to push back Protestantism and was able to smash the union in the Schmalkaldic War from 1546 to 1547. 1546 the Catholic Emperor imposed the Imperial Ban on Konrad of Tecklenburg-Schwerin. In 1547 troops under the leadership of Count Maximilian von Büren occupied Mecklenburg territories by order of the emperor. Konrad had to hand over the county of Lingen and 25,000 thalers to the emperor in order to repeal the imperial ban. The emperor enfeoffed the victorious Count Maximilian on June 29, 1548 in the county of Lingen. The new liege count died in the same year and his daughter Anna von Egmond became liege mistress. In 1551 Anna of Egmont married Prince Wilhelm of Nassau-Orange . Emperor Charles V agreed to the marriage on the condition that the County of Lingen was sold to him. The county was then sold for 120,000 gold guilders to the emperor, who on May 7, 1550 in turn transferred the county of Lingen as a fief to his sister Maria of Hungary , the governor of the Netherlands .
On August 23, 1556, Emperor Charles V renounced the Spanish throne in favor of his eldest son Philip II and the imperial dignity in favor of his brother Ferdinand I. He transferred his Habsburg possessions and the Burgundian lands as well as the county of Lingen to Philip II. The county of Lingen and thus Mettingen were now a Spanish possession and at the same time the easternmost exclave of the Spanish Netherlands .
The county therefore got into the dispute between Spain and the Netherlands when the Dutch fought for independence from Spain in the Eighty Years War from 1568 to 1648 . In 1597 Prince Moritz von Orange conquered the county of Lingen for the Union of Utrecht and once again introduced the Reformed denomination. In 1605 the county was recaptured for Spain by the Spanish general Ambrosio Spinola and remained in Spanish hands until 1632. After the Spaniards withdrew, the county fell back to the House of Nassau-Orange in 1633 .
1702 King of England William III died. From the House of Orange and King Frederick I of Prussia inherited the Upper and Lower Counties of Lingen and reunited them in 1707 with the acquired county of Tecklenburg. So Mettingen became Prussian and remained so with brief interruptions in the French period from 1807 to 1813. In 1755 the communities received a Prussian village regulation.
In 1806 the County of Lingen was occupied by the Kingdom of Holland after the Battle of Jena and Auerstedt and ceded to the Napoleonic Empire after the Peace of Tilsit . In 1808, the two counties of Tecklenburg and Lingen, and thus also Mettingen, initially came to the French-ruled Grand Duchy of Berg , but were reorganized as early as 1811. The Upper County was incorporated into the Département de l'Ems-Supérieur as one of the three Hanseatic departments . The department existed until 1813 and was dissolved again after the victory over Napoleon . Tecklenburg and the Upper County of Lingen fell back to the Prussian Province of Westphalia, while the Lower County of Lingen came to the Kingdom of Hanover. In 1816 the administrative district of Münster was divided and Mettingen came to the Tecklenburg district .
The community of Mettingen belonged to the district of Tecklenburg until the territorial reform in 1974 . On January 1, 1975, Mettingen was enlarged to include parts of the communities Ibbenbüren-Land and Westerkappeln (together 1.29 km² with 192 inhabitants at the time) and assigned to the new Steinfurt district .
Population development
The population development of Mettingen increased significantly after the Second World War due to the influx of displaced persons . The incorporation of parts of the municipalities of Ibbenbüren-Land and Westerkappeln on January 1, 1975 hardly had any impact on the number of residents, as only 192 people lived in these parts of the area.
In 2010 there were 358 foreign citizens living in the community, which was only 2.97 percent. At the end of 2019, 1,265 foreign citizens lived in the municipality, which was 9.94 percent.

The Mettingen Evangelical Church is available to the parish as a church , which is not only the oldest church, but also the oldest building in Mettingen.

coat of arms
Blazon : "In silver three red clovers."
The Mettinger coat of arms is shield-shaped and consists of three stalked clover leaves in a ratio of 2: 1. The model for the coat of arms is the oldest known seal from Gerhard von Mettingen from 1292. The von Mettingen family owned possessions in the Mettinger area in the 12th to 14th centuries. Gerhard von Mettingen worked as a Mecklenburg ministerial from 1231 . The colors of the original coat of arms are unknown, so the colors of the Tecklenburger county coat of arms were chosen : red water lily leaves on a silver background. The coat of arms was declared the municipal coat of arms in 1938 and handed over to the municipality by the Oberpräsident of Westphalia on October 26, 1938.
