Molbergen is a municipality in the district of Cloppenburg in Lower Saxony . The districts of Dwergte, Ermke, Grönheim, Peheim , Resthausen and Stalförden belong to the community .
The community has a rural character, but the proportion of residents who live in closed settlements - often in new building areas - in the main town of Molbergen is increasing. Accordingly, the number of inhabitants has risen steadily in recent years. The economic mainstay of the municipality are increasingly small and medium-sized companies, which often process products from the traditionally dominant agriculture. As a result of the increasing number of companies settling in, the community has seen a high increase in jobs subject to social security contributions and an increase in trade tax .

history
The peasantry Ermke was first mentioned in a deed as "Armike" in 947th In 1080 Molbergen, "Moltberghe", was mentioned in a church document. Dwergte, Grönheim ("Gronnin" or "Gronem") and Peheim appeared in a fiefdom directory in 1275.
In the Middle Ages, Molbergen was part of the County of Tecklenburg from 1252 to 1400 and after the peace treaty of 1400 it came to the Principality of Münster at the time of Count Nicholas II . In 1803, Molbergen came to the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg as a result of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss .
In 1890, an eleven-year-old shepherd found coins from the 16th century on the east bank of the Marka (200 paces south of the Chaussee between Peheim and Vrees).
Although Molbergen, like the whole of the Oldenburger Münsterland , was a stronghold of the center , a local branch of the NSDAP was founded on February 12, 1928 . It was the first local NSDAP group in the Oldenburger Münsterland. Representatives of the NSDAP, u. a. the later Gauleiter Carl Röver , appeared here for the first time in public in the Oldenburger Münsterland. The political significance of the Molberg local group for the Oldenburg state politics remained just as marginal as its influence on local politics before 1933.
Resthausen and Stalförden only became part of Molbergen in 1933 when the municipality of Krapendorf was dissolved .
Population development
According to current data from the Lower Saxony State Statistical Office and the Demographic Change Foundation, Molbergen is the only municipality in Germany with a total fertility rate of around 2.127 that has enough births to allow the population to grow steadily without immigration. With the current fertility a permanent growth rate of 1.62% is achieved, i.e. the population doubles every 44 years (assuming a generation gap of 30 years).
The background to this is the high influx of Russian Germans to Molbergen since 1990. Every second community member in Molbergen comes from a ethnic German repatriate family .
